    Finding Your Purpose and Daring to Live

    26 August 2022 /

    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…

    The Power of Choice

    27 January 2022 /

    Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash As far as health goes, I’ve been having a rough time lately. Weeks into my lovely new job, I tested positive for Covid (again), and although that was incredibly mild compared to the first time I caught it, I returned to work and immediately came down with a throat infection which has moved into my chest. It was kind of hilarious, actually, trying to support children in class when I had completely lost my voice. It was almost like playing a game of Taboo, with everyone trying to guess what I was miming, except there were no winners or losers. I’ve been sat in bed for most of…

    Turning Left- Why it’s Worth Pursuing the Lonely Path of An Unconventional Lifestyle

    9 March 2021 /

    When you live an unconventional lifestyle, such as minimalism, the journey can be a lonely one, particularly if nobody around you understands.  This goes for anything, whether it’s quitting your job to run your own business, quitting alcohol, getting up at 5am every morning to write, or spending hours sketching and painting when you could be doing any other number of fun, distracting things.  It’s easy to find an online community, but as far as your life beyond the screen goes, you’ll often find that you’re pretty much on your own because 99% of people choose the easiest or well-trodden way most of the time.  It’s too scary to go…

    When Others Don’t Get It – How to Live The Life You Were Meant to Live

    16 February 2021 /

    When you live a counter cultural lifestyle people will have something to say, usually by those closest to you.  As I’ve become more and more minimalist, one of the silliest comments said to me is ‘’you won’t be happy until you’re living in a cave and shitting in a hole in the ground’.  Pretty extreme, right?  But, so what if that WAS the way I’d be happy? (I wouldn’t be, but still…what if?) I also recently left Whatsapp and Facebook and some of the comments were ones of downright panic and exasperation.  “But how will you keep in contact with people? It’s kind of stupid in this climate!” But I…

    Is It Really You? – The Masks We Wear and 10 Questions You Can Ask Yourself

    8 February 2020 /

    All of us wear masks. The professional self we use at work, or to talk with our clients. The sweet-talking parent we use with our three year old The always dependable friend who’s everyone’s support post The perfect self-help guru who needs to set an example The sensible teacher  The brand-name rich guy  The party-goer A mask is something we wear to suit the situation we’re in and it’s natural to switch from one to the other depending on the situation. For example, the professional CEO would , perhaps, switch to family mode when getting home.  The sweet-talking parent might become foul mouthed in front of friends, once the child…
