When someone pulls up a chair to sit with you.

 Joy seems to have drained from me. This blog has always been about honestly living it. It has  been one which seems to have had one challenge after another. Slowly I am coming back. I have quite often looked at this page and I had no idea where to begin. Tonight things began to flow again. This has not happened for a long time. Sometimes you need someone to slightly force your hand to get you to shift and move. Asking for help has never really been my forte. Trusting someone with the deep stuff is hard.  As a sole trader, I tend to try to keep going. Until the wheels fall off. Deep survival mode. “ Do less” sounds easy. In fact it sounds blissful. The practicalities of that are not so easy.  After a hellish experience, it  was exciting to start a new course. As soon as I  stepped in the room and fear gripped me.  The spasms in my chest that made me hurt for weeks, I thought what on earth am I doing. The start of the course did not go as expected and q...

What a difference a day makes.. anyone for Lemonade

 Have you ever heard the expression "When life throws you lemons - make Lemonade." Well that kind of sums up my life right now. Without going into extreme detail in a blog. There are times when you hit a few bumps in the road or a few curve balls that you just never expected. Well that is kind of where I am at in more ways than one right now.

There is one thing I am certain of, This is a bump in the road but roads get fixed. I have had many obstacles come across my pathway in my life. I find it extremely inter...

Legacy and Ego

Image
   In recent days I have been mulling over the notion of legacy. How do you want to be remembered? It is a very interesting subject to me. Some people approach the notion of their legacy in very practical, pragmatic terms. Should everyone get an equal share.... should some inherit more?  Or even this is for my ego as oppose to a selfless act. Or is it still more about how people remember you as a person rather than what you want to leave to the world? In other words do you want to elevate your own importance or simply be you? These questions are things you have to consider when you think about legacy. Charities are quick to say you can talk to us about leaving us something in your legacy... Others might decide I want to leave or create a legacy that people remember me by. Both of these situations are ME centred. Other people leave a legacy that are OTHERS centred. My dear father in law, now promoted to Glory, was a formidable man,. A strategic business man, with a huge he...
