thoughts from me to you2012 Predictions and plans…join the revolution!
At this time of year it's always customary to take stock and make plans. Personally, I hate conforming to the stereo-type of joining a gym on January 1st, going for a month then never going again, doomed to spend the next 11 months watching £60 come out of your bank...
Fed up of being pigeon-holed?
I know that you will have been inundated with ‘It’s Christmas!’ messages over the past week or so and I do genuinely hope everyone has at least one fond memory of time spent with loved ones over this festive period. However, that’s not what this post is about. This...
How to be fearless without being reckless
I was thinking this afternoon about what might hold someone back from doing something big and scary and the only thing I could come up with was this... A FEAR OF FAILURE. But as I started to think about this, I realised that to hold you back, you have to have a...
Give yourself some down-time
Last weekend I went away for the weekend to Derbyshire and stayed in a lovely little log cabin in the countryside. We arrived at about 10pm, got out of the car stiff and sleepy but woke up instantly when we opened the door to our cabin and began to explore our...
What’s your fail-safe Funk-fixer?

Is your mind wasting your time?

You don’t have to be superhuman all the time…it’s OK to be OK…
I got told this week that I needed to ‘practise what I preach’ more. Trouble is, it’s not always that easy is it? I suppose the question then becomes, how much is enough? Does trying to practise what you preach count? At what point do you become a fraud? ...
Are you playing it safe?
Are you living the dream or playing it safe? Isn't it a good idea to sometimes hedge your bets? I subscribe to quite a few blogs. I get lovely feel-good stuff directly to my inbox. Some of it makes me think, some of it I think I know already and some of it inspires me...
A change is as good as a rest.
I think there are two types of people - those who love technology, and those who loathe it / don't get it / don't understand it. I am one of the former (but bear with me if you're a hater - I'm not going to get all geeky on you!). This weekend my parents...
