Sunday Blog 75 – 12th March 2023 It’s coming dangerously close to the one year anniversary of my final day of regular work – 31st March to be exact. I am thinking that I will have to stop calling it a menopausal gap year as this new life is becoming my new normal. Not retired, …

Pushing the wheel forward…
Sunday Blog 71 – 12th February 2023 Apparently some people did not notice Monday’s full moon. I did, and it sucker punched me with a core human fear – of not belonging. Most likely this was exacerbated by my work-life situation. I am still in the never-ending process of transitioning fronting a non profit health …
Happy New Year!
Sunday Blog 65 – 1st January 2023 I love to spend this in-between time between Christmas and New Year reviewing what I said I would do last year, and dreaming up the next year. My new year planner is waiting for me to fill it with my visions and plans. My 2022 Vision Board is …
The elf re-appears – kind of

A year on…
Sunday Blog 62 – 20 November 2022 So clearly I haven’t had a professional follow up photo – but here I am, one year on from the 23rd November 2021 discovery within my gold diary’s pages that I’d had ENOUGH. It was time to quit the day job. I decided as well as quitting the …

Why did I feel so discombobulated and not quite here? Travel is always a bit like that for …
Signing off from London
Sunday Blog 55 – 2nd October 2022 I’ve had such wild dreams about this holiday. I’m hoping it will… slough the layer of apathy off the layer of calm, and allow me to look many fears in the face… But I suppose the closer I get to the destination, the more I mistrust romantic notions …
Age should not weary us…
Sunday Blog 45 – 17th July 2022 I found myself thinking recently – do I need an interview outfit? Then I thought that no, I was past it and I was Past It. There are no interviews I want to subject myself to, no jobs I want to obtain. It is both Miserable to be …
