We’ve just come back from the beach. It was a glorious day. We drove down with the roof down (me: attractively fully togged up in hat, scarf and gloves.) J made us a bacon and egg roll for breakfast… Then we went for a walk and passed these beach huts… We stopped to watch some… Continue reading A blissful day
You know when you do something and things click into place and suddenly you feel like you, 100%? This happened to me today. Here’s why: Years ago I designed some little children’s characters. They were truly an extension of me. I loved them. I cared for them. Sometimes I even spoke to them. So what… Continue reading Celebration time!
To cut a long story short, it has been a bit of a rubbish start to 2012. As my friend so eloquently put it, same shit, different year. So recently, in desperation, I went for a walk...and had a little word with the powers that be. Well, it was more of a rant actually: ‘Why… Continue reading I had a chat with God recently
Um…several months appear to have sneaked past when I wasn’t looking. My last post was over 2 months ago - I am officially A Very Bad Blogger! But I have my reasons: Something is up. Things are in the air. The planets are aligning...I have ‘plans’. That's all I can cryptically say for now. More to… Continue reading Hello, I missed you
(I am in love with this video. I may well have to marry it.) If you are a creative but think most of what you produce is utter drivel. If you sweat and feel nauseous at the thought of showing people your work. If you yearn to be like other creative people (i.e. bona fide geniuses who produce truly amazing… Continue reading Obvious to you, amazing to others

And he had to sell his dog (my “best friend on earth”) because he couldn’t afford to feed him. He went to see Gil Boyne, a famous hypnotherapist in Los Angeles. Gil explained… Continue reading Rocky and hypnosis
Last week I did a sketch of my ideal life. This is it: Before I launch into an explanation (not that it really needs any; my ideal life obviously consists of me, my caveman husband and two cute children, staring out to sea whilst a book flies over our heads) can I just say that… Continue reading I’ve been living the wrong life
Last weekend, during the second module of my Hypnotherapy Diploma, I had a major wobble. We were learning about Time Lines, where you regress someone back along a line that represents their life and reframe a negative event from their past. @”&*#^#!”!! I really struggle with this kind of thing. Seriously, it makes me cringe. It was then that the… Continue reading Wobbly moment alert
My boyfriend left me a cute note the other day:I love the “You cannot hide the spark” bit. But I beg to differ. Patently you can as I am doing a pretty good job of it right this moment. The whole point of this blog is for me to express myself but in reality I have had… Continue reading You can’t hide the spark!
You know when you’re not sure whether to do something…and you’re on the verge of saying no...but then a little voice in your head says ‘hang on one cotton-pickin minute, you should do this!’…so for once in your life you listen and do what the little voice told you to do…and then you sit back… Continue reading My brain is a cement mixer
