A Better Way to Make Resolutions – 2022
Photo by Waranont (Joe) on Unsplash With just hours to go until the New Year, I want to thank all of you who read and have subscribed to my content. It means the world to me, and even more so if it helps you to make simple changes in your life or to start winning the battle against clutter. I know that a lot of minimalists out there like to write about New Years Resolutions, but years ago I came to the conclusion that every day is the potential for a new start. Why wait until Big Ben chimes or the fireworks bang? Plus, I think that if you fail…

Finding Your Purpose and Daring to Live
Image by Лечение наркомании from Pixabay Creativity is something I think most of us are born with, but as we grow older, the expectations of others becomes a huge weight we carry with us, crushing and reshaping our imagination and desires like metamorphic rock. Some of our deepest hopes and desires get buried so deep and pressured under so many layers they become fossilised. But like fossils, our creativity can be excavated and brought back into the light. We can cast off the weight and begin chiseling our dreams back into a recognisable shape. Those of us who never re-discover or are too fearful to dig up our dreams risk…

My bank account was almost always in minuses, but no matter what I bought there was always more on my wishlist. I was never satisfied, yet I was always certain that one more figurine, one more bag, or one more…

What Do You Want from Life?
Photo by Sasha Freemind on Unsplash On a number of occasions my husband has asked me what I want out of life. We sometimes have these kinds of conversations when the kids have gone to bed or we’re out on a date night. My answer is always the same: I want peace. But what does that actually mean? Peace can mean so many things to different people. No arguments, a calm relationship, a calm environment, world peace, inner peace, good health. For me, peace means freedom from torment and trauma, good mental health, a calm environment, and a loving circle of friends and family. Years ago, if you’d asked me the same question…

Why You Can Achieve Your Dreams
Photo courtesy of Kinkate on Pixabay Dreams. We all have them, right? Famous writer. Rich actor. Respected doctor. Accomplished scientist. Successful parent. Seasoned Traveller. Renowned artist. Popular Youtuber. World-class chef. Talented musician. As children we’re full of dreams and hopes for the future. If we’re lucky, the adults did their best to encourage us, but even the not-so-lucky among us have dreams and aspirations. Mine was to be a writer. At one point I also wanted to be an archaeologist and weather presenter, but becoming a writer was always there at the top of the list. As a child I remember coming home to the electronic typewriter my parents brought…
