Six months ago, I wrote a blog about what I hoped would be my goals for the next six months and whether I had achieved or stuck to them. I wanted to simply look back and recap on what they were and the results.
I grew some lettuce and planted some onions and carrots. The lettuce was [...]

For those of you who know me on Twitter, these are the results of my week long exercise of how I spend my time. I wanted to do this to see how I can fit 16 hrs of study in a week from next year with the OU.
It was a very interesting thing to do [...]

A quick post for me.
Wanted to see how it would feel like to be without the computer for 5 days, a week seemed too long, and also to do those tasks that I have been meaning to get done. Apart from 5 mins of e-mails that would be it. Planned to phone some long-distance friends, [...]

I was looking foreword to lighting my candles this evening to celebrate and recognise Earth hour at 20.30. The glass bowl for floating candles, not used for awhile, had centre stage on our dinning table this evening. At 20.30 I looked out of my window to see if people in our neighbourhood were observing this hour [...]

A mini-post for today.
Life generally feels so much better these days and I thought a few observations about this feeling would be worth posting this morning. Stress is something that has plagued me a lot in my life, that learning to handle it better did seem essential only a few weeks back. There is one thing [...]

My husband and I always have mixed feelings about celebrating Valentines day. We hate the commercialism of the whole thing and the pressure that cards and flowers should be given, and any potential disappointment, if say a modest bunch of flowers were bought, instead of the most expensive ones on display.
Each year, men gather around the red [...]

This came to me yesterday when I was out on a dog walk and I wanted to share it with you. It goes something like this. As I am writing here, more thoughts are feeding into this process.
Why do we do what we do?
We work hard to keep a roof over our head.
When we have [...]

The word learning will have many different meanings to people and how their own views, believes, perceptions and thoughts, when pondering upon its definition, will differ and perhaps extend to another word linked to learning, that being education. Education and learning for me, and to many other thinkers, philosophers, teachers and writers will be words viewed as a process entwined both together as well as separately. To be educated does not [...]

A rather frightening and sobering thought occurred to me late yesterday evening. It was the 29th August, a date that will always stick in my memory, etched into my being for as long as I dwell upon this earth.
On August 29th 1984, I met and walked into a relationship that was to have the most [...]
