Why a Blog?

I guess the question will be asked why am I doing this blog? Well the honest answer would be I am not too sure. I can hear my friend M shouting at me saying "never tell people that! If you don't know why they'll be thinking why should they read it?" If I wasn't surrendering to my intuitive spirit I would agree with her. But my world lens has changed. Redundant job and relationship will do that to you. All I know is that I feel something restless stirring within me leading me to move forward into the unknown to create my own destiny. I believe it is also a test to ensure that I am moving out of my darkness into the light. I am trusting to share the changes that are taking place within my life so that I can grow. If something I share helps someone fine. If not it will help me. I have thought of various ways to start my journey but I am where I am. I am not too keen on going the video channel route ( only because I would spend too much time criticizing how I look ). My other excuse is its too intrusive and I want to protect my children from visual over exposure (yeah like I'm that famous). Yes I know I could do it when they are not around ( I'll get back to that). I'm definitely not attempting to write a book. I'm really not that bothered about plots, twists and turns. I am also not Oprah or those TV presenters that I have watched or followed. I want to find my voice and what I am truly passionate about. I'm hoping that by doing this blog I'll polish up my writing skills whilst discovering how I'm going to make a living from the things that I feel passionate about. I suspect the hard sell question " what she got to offer?" is sure to come up (I'll tackle that later). So I guess through this blog I'm launching me and the many sides of me. Lighthearted and insightful. The consistent theme will be change because whether I am ready or not it is coming. So deep breath. Here I go.

First Day Sequel

Image
The day was a tease. My youngest sent me a text and I got all excited. I started texting back asking various questions and then it stopped. Or should I say she stopped. I started watching the clock and phone thinking she’d text me when she left school. Then I'd get the low down. Yep she texted stating she was on her way home and that there was a lot of traffic out there. But when I texted back did she respond? I worried a bit then pushed past it and thought if anything happened out there I would hear about. I continued working. Finally while driving home around 5.30pm my eldest rang to ask some random question. Whilst talking to her I received a text from my youngest. "I'm home!” Wait didn't school come out at 3.15pm! What the heck had taken her so long? At the most she would be home by 4pm so where has she been? I told my eldest to tell her sister that I wanted a word. Hear the child " I got home long time ago mum I only just remembered to text you ". OK I ...

First Day at School

So summer has come to a close and a new academic year a waits. Keep calm. Don't panic. All I know is that a new season has arrived in my house. I venture into a new realm called self-employment and both of my children will now be at secondary school. My youngest started today.       Yesterday as I was driving to work I saw parents walking along the streets with young children in what were obviously brand new uniforms crisp and neat. Some posed for pictures outside the school gates. Some walked hand in hand or swinging hands with a spring of expectation in their step. The beginning of heavy traffic and double parked cars were evident.   Smiling to myself I thought that in less than 24 hours my youngest would be entering the gates of her new school. I know as parents we hope so much for them. I'm torn between thinking of the freedom I can now enjoy. I don't have to be torn between getting this one ready and then that one. No more taking one child to nursery and ...

Killing me softly: Maun Valley Citizens UK

Image
If you has asked me ......"what  do you  have in common with a  man who's been homeless for 30 years? My response would have been ..."Not a ting".  www.freeimages.com What is different today is that I met 'Jay'.*  What's different is that I had a personal conversation with 'Jay'. We didn't speak about the weather which British people so often do when trying to make conversation. Usually we start with the trivial and sometimes stay with the trivial and move on really  missing the opportunity to connect. What's different is that I heard some of his story and it changed me. I don't think he knew that he was killing me softly with his words.  I was at a CitizensUK action inside a school building along with others. We were there to learn about action in practise  and give support to a small group seeking to find a solution to a bigger issue within their community.  The event was thought provoking as we heard stories from oth...
