My sister thinks I’m weird!
…or more accurately, she thinks I think I’m a cross between David Bellamy and Beatrix Potter. I think of myself more of a fatter Barbara Good from The Good Life. Felicity Kendal I will never be, but the sentiment remains. “I think everybody’s weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed […]
6 signs you’re totally stressed out (funny)
We undoubtedly live in an era where most conversations with your friends being with, “Oh I’m so stressed!” The 21st century lifestyle means that everyone will have encountered stress somewhere along the line. Unless of course you are one of those really annoying types who wears a coat made of Teflon, so the stress just […]
About friends
I love my friends. My mates. My chums. My buddies. The Kindred Spirits. The ones who’ve seen me cry. The ones who know my bra size (seriously classified information, people!). My friends from school, the majority of whom I am still in touch with via Facebook. It’s amazing to see us all grown up, with […]
Farting and other stories (6 funnies from the yoga mat)

One of the best things that ever happened to me
One of the best things that ever happened to me was getting made redundant. Yes, I know – shock horror – being told that you are going to be made redundant feels like the worst thing in the world at the time. It felt like I had been punched in the stomach. It felt like […]
Things I like
When I was a kid I used to write lists of things I liked. Even though I’m an adult, I still think writing lists of stuff (as opposed to your work tasks or what you need from the supermarket) can be very cathartic. A list like this can remind you to practice a little gratitude […]

Sharon is an amazing alternative and holistic health practitioner. She has a great way of making you feel relaxed as soon as you walk through the door of her gorgeous little healing room. […]
One of those days
I’m having one of those days. I wasn’t having one of those days this morning, but now I am and it’s really getting on my nerves. I knew it. As soon as I stepped on my yoga mat and started to move, my whole body felt tight and tired. It probably didn’t help that I […]
Karma Yoga
Today we’ve been watching birds for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. It takes place several times per year here in the UK. I love birds. We both do. When we moved to our cottage we were overwhelmed by the number of birds who visited our garden. It was pretty wild and overgrown, but we’ve spent […]
Yoga websites worth looking at
I like yoga websites. Websites about yoga. In the old days (before I became a yoga teacher), I used to like websites about shoes, and handbags. I still do… but I spend more time reading about yoga than I do buying shoes. How times change! And anyway, I already have way too many pairs of […]
