If you had a time machine…
The idea of going back in time and making better decisions, saying yes instead of no and being in the right place at the right time is quite appealing. Maybe you think your life would improve tenfold if only you could go back and change a few little things. Perhaps your right but the thing … Continue reading If you had a time machine…
The concepts I promote
Go, go, go until you can go no more. I reject the concept of working yourself to the bone as it's hard to reap the rewards when you're ill with fatigue and exhaustion. But the concept of working hard to reach your goals and the concept of being committed are 2 things I'm happy to … Continue reading The concepts I promote
Taking the slower route
Why make something when you can just buy it? Eggs, sugar, butter and flour are all you need to make a cake. Then maybe some vanilla essence, chocolate chips and a bit of frosting to make things a little more interesting. It takes much more time to measure out and mix those ingredients than it … Continue reading Taking the slower route

Can you remember where you were at in life 3 years ago? Did you have a job? Where did you work? Were you happy? How were you spending your free time? Where did you live? What were you reading? What were your life goals? Who were your friends? Who were you dating? A lot can … Continue reading 1000 and something days ago
When you’re not in-flow
Having a daily writing practice means that writers block isn't an excuse I can use. There are days when writing feels a little more rigid and I suppose I feel 'blocked' but I don't feed it because whether I feel in-flow or totally out of flow I still have to write and share something. I … Continue reading When you’re not in-flow
In search of stability (don’t settle)
I think that in searching for stability you don’t give yourself enough room to explore and take risks. You align yourself in things that feel safe and reliable then convince yourself that it’s what you truly desire. The pursuit of stability is often about fear and control. As human beings one of our core needs … Continue reading In search of stability (don’t settle)
Day 183
When I started this blog 6 months ago I never really considered what I wanted it to be. I just knew that I wrote a lot and thought it would be nice to have somewhere to share it. The months have flown by and knowing that I'm committed to finding a 'gemm' each day is … Continue reading Day 183
