So I get asked about my hair a lot. Short hair does not have to mean boring, quite the opposite in fact. Actually I find it way more interesting to come up with inventive ways to wear my short hair than when I have it longer. I occasionally have Great Lengths Extensions fitted when I’m… Read More Interesting Ways to Style a Short Bob
When I thought about losing one or other of my parents, I just couldn’t imagine how I would deal with it. I guess we all consider it at some point as they get older. Although my Dad was 71, he didn’t seem old to me. That’s because he didn’t act it. He was a teenager… Read More Coping With Bereavement

So my seventeen year old son is in Zante on an 18-30 holiday….yep, like I said, he’s seventeen. Evidently 18-30 is only a very loose description, it’s actually more like 17-35!

How To Find Your Inner Confidence Until a few months ago, I absolutely dreaded talking about myself, what I do, and generally anything about my life. I can’t say exactly why because it’s not something that’s particularly rational. I think predominantly, it was the feeling that I was an imposter. Actually, that’s a thing, Imposter… Read More How To Get Over Fear Of Self-Promotion
This is probably the biggest lesson I have learnt lately. I used to be very set in my ideas. Things had to be a certain way and that was that. If I’d stuck to my original plan then I wouldn’t be about to release a book that isn’t adult fiction. For a long time I… Read More Don’t Limit Yourself – Be Open To Other Things
I’ve never been a huge worrier. Not in my later years anyway. When I was really young I worried about nuclear war and the end of the World of course. I blame ‘When The Wind Blows’ I mean, what were they thinking? It was crazy scary and they showed it in schools, to young kids….I… Read More How I Stopped Worrying Overnight
Just a really quick post as a follow up to the last Law Of Attraction post. I had a couple of emails with questions and one was how do you get your happy back when you feel crap? Well, I do this really childish but effective thing. I say out loud (providing no-one is in ear… Read More The I Love Game
Alternate Reality? I may have mentioned before, I’m into science. I love, love, love it. All kinds of science, but mostly Quantum physics. Probably because I love chaos, and quantum certainly makes that of any logical science. I was reading an article about the double slit experiment which throws into question the fact that there is just… Read More The Law Of What?
