Return of the blog…..

So in my head I have that song from the 90s, “Return of the Mac” as I write this…. except that noone knew I’d be back as noone probably knew I went away.  Well I have been away for almost 18months.  The reasons for this are varied. I’ve launched an arts organisation, run 2 big […]

Day 9: Bed Rest, Getting IT and wardrobe dismissal

Ok so this week has been a bit crap in some ways, the fridge-freezer broke down (for good this time); I have been feeling awful and in pain and it has interfered in my plans. Now you can either get down about these things or start to look at solutions.  I have made a conscious […]

Day 7: Chanting, Meditating and Hypnosis

Well for someone trying to relax and get well I have been very busy the last 15 or so hours.  I have decided to try and rid myself of anxiety and fear, thus curing my anxiety disorder, by trying to learn various healing mediums.  I have done lots of reading on meditation and chanting.  Last […]

Something New a Day: Day 6 — I applied to join a very choosy network

Well today on my journey of re-wiring my brain and feeling the fear but doing it anyway I attempted to join a rather selective Arts Network.  I always find these things awkward and I don’t really like the idea of them; after all art is subjective so someone judging me and something that is very […]

I seem to be running a day late with the writing up of my daily changes and new things, this is largely down to the fact that I have been so bloody unwell.  I’m supposed to have a networking meeting today for mums who are self employed but alas I am too ill to attend… […]

I was unable to post yesterday as I spent all day creating the fake social network and then felt so unwell I went to bed.  Anyhow you will probably wonder why anyone would want to create a fake social network if it wasn’t for bad reasons.   Well  I have been working on an art […]

So today’s new thing is  I submitted a collection of six of my poems to University of Illinos’ literary journal the Ninth Letter.  Although I am well aware that nothing will probably come of any of this I think the main thing is that I am trying to make a positive change in my life […]

Something New Day 2: Publishing a photobook

So my attempts to change my life by changing one thing every day almost had a setback today as soon as they started when I woke up feeling incredibly unwell.  In fact I was so ill I had to forgo my Father-in-law’s birthday and felt horribly guilty for upsetting my family (my husband was fine […]

New Dawn

I have decided that I am sick and tired of my life staying the same.  What is it that Einstein said and my husband keeps reminding me about: “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”   So what are we to […]

Realising Your Achievements

I have been feeling pretty rubbish lately; family problems, poor health and life not going as I want it to have left me feeling, well shit to be honest.  In my head I have a picture of what life should be like and how I should be and my reality never matches up (I suffer […]
