As it says on my tag line, I write, I read, and I scribble about random stuff on my blog. I still work, having two part-time jobs, so end up working more than full-time.
I enjoy the scribbling and the interaction, but never seem to have enough time (or drive) to build a following. I read blogs I find interesting, amusing or thought-proving, regardless of whether or not I get followed back. Initially, I wrote about books, but seem to have ended up with a general interest, magazine type of format. That may change but, because I do this for fun, I don’t spend time planning the blog’s future.
As my old loves of live music, cinema and rugby no longer feature much in my life (and therefore in my blog), my fascination as a long-time student of psychology and neuroscience – people and their behaviour – tends to be my focus. I still read prodigiously, but now squeeze in as much time as possible for photography with Himself, my constant companion. I both adore and am exhausted by my grandchildren – but their lives aren’t food for this blog. Otherwise, I love to discuss pretty much any other subject under the sun and consider myself lucky being able to indulge that here.
I co-host Fiction Can Be Fun with David, aka @breakerofthings, where examples of my fictional writing can be found. A Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, I’ve worked across a range of areas, everything from mental health to dating, but have stepped back from my practice to focus on writing. Leaning into to my lifelong curiosity about why we do what we do (and what we don’t do), how the subconscious brain affects our behaviour and decision-making process, the importance of belonging, the impact of past influences, and why self-worth changes everything. You can read about these subjects on my Substack.
Let me leave you with this thought…
