The Life Pivot

When my husband sets his mind to something, it’s fair to say I think he gets a bit obsessed, fanatical perhaps, I’m, not sure, but a discussion that often came as part of a joke after a drink or so on a weekend of doing something that was perhaps not as rewarding, or perhaps ho-hum or even had to work when the desire wasn’t there, has led to a series of ideas that have started to become the reality.

Periscope The Social Media Disrupter

Well, I listened to the Periscope periscope – yep.. the Periscope team took time to ‘scope’ about their product, and that shed an enormous amount of light onto their vision and goals and what stood out for me is their passion and excitement in helping create ‘truth’ and ’empathy’ to the consumer.

For many it may be a walk along the beach or the seaside, and for me it’s my garden where I find the routine of the seasons which make me feel that a moment’s peace helps get the balance back.

The Demise of the Department Store

Today I set myself a task. I love writing, although my blogs and lacklustre efforts could make you wonder, behind the scenes, my life is full of ideas shared on paper.

I’ve loved writing for years, it’s one of the things that I feel helps take thoughts and bring them to life and often I feel the physical part of writing is more significant in results than the keyboard.Today I set myself a task.

Anyone for tea?

The value of a cup of tea

Sometimes, if I had my way, I’d be sipping a hot cup of Madura English Breakfast tea, not the tea bags, but the real tea, the loose tea you put by the spoonful into the pot and let sit for a few minutes to steep.

My cup would be my favourite double walled glass cup, the ones we see everywhere now, but well before it was fashionable, I was sipping my cups of tea from them.

Of course I’d be sitting in a comfortable chair, on my verandah, shaded from the harsh sun, but still warm enough to enjoy shutting my eyes for a moment and thinking, letting my mind wander and occasionally, opening up an eye to see if I can spot that bird I hear every day, but eludes me because there are so many beautiful plants to hide.

Food for thought, Egg only pancakes

2015 started of with a lot of thinking for me.  

Actually most days do but this time I have decided to surround myself with people who are good for me and in a short month it’s proving to be successful.

So much so that I really decided that I’d take some advice from my daughter who has Lymes Disease (although in Australia we don’t accept that it exists, blood tests from the US state differently) but that’s another day.
