Change Ready or Not

I'm here at the airport and going nowhere. The funny thing is that this is the first time that I haven't booked to fly anywhere exotic and assumed that it would be plain sailing !  I mean I'm just taking a one hour flight to Guernsey. I have no real expectations about the weather although people keep telling me that the weather in Guernsey  is better than the UK. I'm really looking forward to spending time with an old work colleague. We haven't seen each other for a few years. So a one hour flight seems like a real dream.  I’m sitting here now thinking it was just too good to be true. It was just a little too easy to expect that by 5pm I would have been sitting with my friend drinking some wine, laughing and catching up. Instead I'm still sitting in the airport departure lounge looking at the departure board for an update on when I am ready to fly.  After 4.20pm I really can’t understand why I'm still sitting in departure so I go see if...

How hard is it to meet a potential companion? Notice I didn’t say boyfriend because the women I know would say they are definitely not interested in 'boys'.

He's in his early 40’s and had been searching to find someone he could settle down with. He met...

Sometimes you just have to feel your way through a situation, event or crisis. It is hard because we really rely upon the logical part of our brain rather than the intuitive part of who we are. I guess that relying upon our feelings is scary. I know that it has been scary to me at times. You know what is really funny? Deep down, on an intuitive level you know you are lying to yourself. You just can’t face what feelings or intuition is telling you. They call it denial and I have lived there.  Eventually we all face our fears one way or another. I did. Like many people usually when someone asks me something I've  liked to know that I have an answer. Opinionated I guess is the right word.   After all isn’t that why many of us spend so much time learning, studying, surrounding ourselves with people /experiences so that we gain this fount of knowledge that appears to justify what we are saying or doing? I suppose that is why we arrive at a place of so called crisis b...
