Fear!!!!!!!!!

What if I’m making a big mistake and regret getting rid of something? Fear has raised its ugly head. Could it be that I am in some sort of madness; that I’m  possessed with a crazy notion which I will snap out of only to discover that in my haste I have turned my life upside down and inside out and there’s no going back? The “what’s if’s” are flooding in. What if I’m making a huge mistake. What if I...

Squirming With Stuff

Clearing out “Stuff” is certainly confronting me with myself. BIG ENORMOUS SQUIRM I mean, it’s ridiculous how much I have and even more squirmy all the reasons why. When you start to shift the physical stuff it loosens all the emotional attachments and allows you to see more clearly what has gone on, and how on earth it all got here in the first place. Yesterday’s junk: I couldn’t say NO when people offered me...

I Do Not Need All This Stuff

After 10 days living out of my rucksack I am convinced. I DO NOT NEED ALL MY “STUFF” I’m fed up feeling bogged down by it all; cleaning it, tidying it, trying to organise and store it, mending it and getting mad with it. During 14 months away living on a very small boat I hardly missed any of it. BUT what did I do? I came home unpacked and re-attached to most of it. I’m a little frightened actually it’s not so easy as it...

Present Idea for Women – A Sugar Scrub

Recently three of my women friends had birthdays. I’ve waited till they had all past to show you what I made, just in case they read this blog and found out. I like presents to be a secret and a surprise. A SUGAR SCRUB I followed the recipe at My Healthy Green Family. Mine didn’t look the same but it works just fine. I know because I’ve tried it! I added some orange essential oil and safflower strands but you could add any scented...

Is it an Addiction?

 It’s never easy admitting we have an addiction is it? We frown on them so and like to distance ourselves from such people; people who obviously can’t control themselves; ITS SHOCKING! Or perhaps somewhere deep inside it resonates, we know we might be caught in the same trap or at the very least leaning into it. I think our modern consumer society is full of new addictive avenues, many that we now call socially acceptable. There’s...

Coming off Facebook

Coming off Facebook isn’t easy you know. Firstly I had to do an internet search to find out how since it wasn’t very obvious to me on my account. Then you have to be really clear about it because to just suspend the account doesn’t work, that means that the minute you cave in and log-on it’s all up and running again as if you’ve never been away. No, to really leave you have to go through a process which involves being asked...
