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...

I am so grateful

Phew, I am so grateful that the fiasco of changing General Data Protection Regulation is now over, especially having to sort this out whilst travelling. More importantly, I am so grateful to those who have stayed connected. It is lovely to know that my Lightbulb Moments are read...

What if… we saw life differently?

What if we turn everything we think we know about life on its head? What if we realised that we are ok no matter what? What if we saw life differently? Something has shifted. Until recently, when my husband Tim and I were talking about philosophical subjects about life, I at times...

Before you have a wobbly… HALT!

Go with the flow…

Do you go with the flow? I used to be such a planner, always knowing exactly what I’d be doing in the following days, weeks, months… I’d have my tick list, project plan and was renowned for my spreadsheet creations with action plans. Life is very different now! One of...

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...

The spell has been broken

It’s been 20 days since we left Britain and despite not writing a blog here for ages, I’ve written a short blog every day on facebook. It started off just a few sentences, however as the days go by, these have turned into a couple of paragraphs and more. Each day something...

What are your Words of Wisdom?

What are your words of wisdom that you often share with people? Perhaps you have a useful catchphrase, some guidance that you like to give to family, friends, colleagues? Recently I have had a number of clients share with me their own words of wisdom that they often tell others,...

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...
