Learning and Sharing as a Blogger

Learning and Sharing as a Blogger

Since we launched the Blogger & Vlogger Network the importance of collaboration, networking and support within the blogging community has never been more clear to me. Yesterday we had Strawberry Singh come along and do a live presentation on the importance of social media and a couple of things struck me while listening to her. [...]

Secret Garden

Secret Garden

Yesterday was the first real Spring day in the UK where there was heat in the breeze as well as the sun in the sky. I saw my first bumble bee buzzing around too so it must have been warm! There's something about the sun and warmth of Spring that lifts the spirit and makes [...]

In a League of its Own

I'm putting together a DJ set for later today right now and I'm being hampered by a song that totally doesn't fit the set but won't get the hell out of my head. It's Corinne Bailey Rae's 'Put Your Records On' .  It's a pretty 'feel good' tune and maybe that's why it's stuck in [...]

My parents were stricter with me and financially they were struggling which is part of why they waited 7 years before having another child. [...]

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

Henry Ford's phrase "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." has been at the top of my mind this morning as I watch the overnight news from the Rio Paralympics. Dame Sarah Storey becomes the first female British paralympian to win 12 gold medals as [...]

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You

I admit to being a bit of an 'ostrich' and burying my head in the sand especially when it comes to real life issues but it can also be true when dealing with uncomfortable situations in Second Life too.  I can be prone to procrastination on real life tasks etc mainly because there is much [...]
