Making Up Stories – they are not always true…

How often do you find yourself making up stories in your head? Sometimes they can be fun, but it’s those little stories that are often detrimental to our joy of life – and we need to realise they are fiction… “Hola!” we smiled as a man walked past us. His...

What’s your blind-spot?

I suddenly saw my blind-spot. How had I missed it? It was there right in front of me. The type of blind-spot I am writing about here is the psychological type – where I was unable to see certain things about my own behaviour, not the optic nerve type of blind-spot! Our Journey Tim...

Suicidal Thoughts

Suicidal thoughts, not something I usually write about. Do you remember the theme tune of American Sitcom series M.A.S.H.? It was “Suicide is painless”. I used to find this rather tasteless. In my innocence, I thought it was a taboo subject to talk about. How many of us have...

Seeing Beyond Judgement

Are you seeing beyond Judgement? Can you see beyond first impressions or focus on what you like rather than what you don’t like? At the Carnegie Museum Modern Art display, Anthony’s Mum commented that she didn’t like some of the art work. His response was: “I think...

Understanding about thoughts

Life would be so much easier if we had our very own manual on how we work so we had an understanding about thoughts. What if there was one? In the past 18 months, I’ve found and got a deeper understanding about thoughts, which was different to how I original understood them. It’s...

Homeless and Happy? Is this possible?

Homeless and Happy – can these 2 words go together? Imagine lying, curled up in the dark and freezing cold and all you have for protection is your cupboard box. You look at your watch and it is 2am. You hear the howling wind and the strength of it constantly rattles your home for...

Are you a mind reader?

Are you a mind reader? Can you really mind read what people are thinking? Imagine this scenario: Sitting in a room is a group of people from many backgrounds. What links them is that they are all interested in learning. Gradually, one by one, they share what they want to achieve from...

Feeling Stuck

“Push harder – it’s feeling stuck” said Tim. I sensed my husband’s frustration – in fact I was also getting hot and bothered. A few weeks earlier, we’d purchased a new sofa for our first home. When the delivery guys arrived, they insisted that the sofa would not get...
