The things about pushing a bike up a hill for so long is the reward you get at the top of the hill. The view is amazing, the air is clearer and you get time to think and assess. You realise how small you are when surveying that view but mentally it gives you strength [...]

Join Me in My Neverland
I never thought that a situation contained within Second Life could change me fundamentally but it has. When I became so emotionally invested in a person, a situation and, most importantly, a belief, I didn't realise what would happen when the rug was pulled out from under me. I've spent months cocooned in my own little [...]
The Peace of Mind that Comes with Acceptance
I shared a post on Facebook earlier today. It said 'You'll save yourself a lot of heartache if you accept that some questions just don't have answers". As is often the case those kinds of memes get me thinking and this one was no different. Actually, I believe most questions do have answers but we [...]
Orange Should be the new Red!
It's the Clash of the Seasonal Titans! In the Orange corner we have Autumn, weighing in at a windy couple of months. Wearing Oranges, browns, muted greens, tans, and neutrals. He's a good looking chap for sure! In the Red corner we have Christmas! Weighing in at a measly 'week' but spreading out into a [...]
Cause Every Girl Crazy Bout a Sharp Dressed Man
It's Monday morning again and boy did the weekend come and go quickly. I still haven't managed to get around all the events that I wanted to over the weekend but on a positive note at least they'll be a little quieter by the time I get there. I did get to spend a good [...]
The Theatre of Dreams and How Should I Change Mine?
It's almost 6 months since I moved my blog to WordPress and made a much more concerted effort to blog almost daily. I thought now was a good time to take a step back and review the progress and consider the strategy for the blog moving forward and I'm interested to know others views on [...]
No One Was Expecting That…
I've been a little quiet over the last 24-48 hours. Truth is, my family received some sad news and I've been processing. I have a beautiful cousin, we were closer as children and then she married and moved to Egypt and we kept up to date on facebook. Almost daily pictures of her and her [...]
Why Can’t it Stay Autumn All Year Long?
In a few days it will be November. It will be colder and crisper and the TV will be full of advertisements for Christmas. My favourite season of the year will almost be over so I'll be making the most of the last few weeks of the Autumn. I want to keep my house as [...]
Toward the Light
There is always light. There is always a silver lining we just have to open our eyes to the possibilities. To be able to see the light I need to be open to new things, new ideas. I have to change my mindset and retrain a brain that has been moulded to fear. It's the [...]
The Broken Body Clock
This whole extra hour in bed sounds like a great idea but in practice it doesn't work. In the UK British Summer Time officially ended in the early hours of Sunday morning when our clocks went back an hour. Technically this meant an extra hour in bed which sort of worked out on Sunday morning [...]
