Writing has been my main form of connection this lifetime. At times when I didn’t talk to anyone, I always wrote to myself.
When I started writing my blog on my website in 2014 I was terrified. Having my voice in public felt like I was standing in the middle of the street naked. It has been a gradual process of being brave, showing up, and believing I have something to say. Mostly now, it’s that I get to experience moving forward rather than being stuck in one place, one idea, one mass of confusion.
Action is the antidote to despair.
At the start of last year (2022) I set out to write a ‘Lesson a day’ on Medium. I was loving it and could always come up with something to write. But I had to get a job and I lost the momentum and focus. I’m up to Lesson #75.

Time, energy, money

Stepping up to being a leader ( .. or not)
I'm considering becoming a Cub Scout Leader. It's a big commitment so it's a big decision. I have arguments for why I should and shouldn't do this. I will outline my thinking and see if a clear path becomes apparent. This is how I tend to make most of my...
Why I do what I do …
NOTE : WORK IN PROGRESS :) I will start with 'My Why' ..... I do the things I do for the sake of clarity and openness. And my 'Why' has come as my lifelong challenge - because it is what I have struggled with. I have experienced life as my life as a mass of...
The challenge of fun
A serious take on the world I believe the Universe* gives us the lessons we need for us to evolve. It's how I've rationalised most of my life, because lessons and learning are the thing that drives me most. A lesson I am currently facing is around the topic of...
A revolution in connection
Only connect! E. M. Forster They say you want a revolution, Well you know, We all want to change the world. You tell me that it's evolution, Well you know, we all want to change the world. John Lennon & Paul Mccartney (from the album Love) ...
A bumbling search for my path
A mad cap path This rambling post shares a bit of the madcap path I've been on that has led to me into existential crises at multiple ages, trying to work out what work I can do that will both allow me the freedom I crave and the sense of meaning I need while making a...
Cloudscape .. a journey of transformation
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Anais Nin Some things I have learnt: - if we don't get a lesson the Universe will keep sending it to us - Everything is relative - We are all...
Lost and found – a search for the meaning of life
We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. - T. S. Eliot This post is a watershed. It's been a difficult post to write .. because I’ve been wanting too much of it. I...
Shadows, isolation and reconnection to spirit
So .. I had planned a deep, thoughtful and vulnerable first post exploring a single topic .. But with limited time as I head off to attend Blast Off 2015 I'll summarise some of the things I've been thinking about, in preparation for exploring them in more depth when I...
