Manifesting a better life without drugs
I must have heard the saying ‘surround yourself with high vibe people if you want to move forward’ so many times in the past, but I never really embraced that until earlier this year. If you’ve followed my journey on this blog, you will know that it’s been a long one since my Mum was

Challenge 16 Update – Rugby World Cup Match Schedule Announced
My Rugby Obsession challenges have hit somewhat of a stall, what with no All Blacks vs England game this year (Challenge 18) and the Commonwealth Games organisers failing to announce internationally when tickets went on sale, despite me being signed up to every e-newsletter they had right back when I first set up these challenges.Â

The ‘new multi-tasking’: finding time for good causes in the work/life balance mix
Still feeling somewhat isolated after the sudden loss of my mother, and my contract role as a result, I decided to spend what would of been my Mum’s 63rd birthday creating a social media event – the Virtual Cocktail. As the first of my 62 challenges I’d set, I used the power of social media, and

Challenge 7 achieved: Helping a Girlguiding unit achieve a badge
When I set myself Challenge 7 – helping a Girlguiding group to get their badges – I had intended to volunteer a few hours of my time to a particular badge. However life never really turns out as planned, and when I signed up via the Guiding website, I was asked whether I’d consider becoming

Being diagnosed with Lipoedema
While I wasn’t much of a fitness enthusiast at school (the only time I was told off was to do with ‘get out of sports lesson’ notes), since moving to the UK over 20 years ago, I’ve pretty much always been a member of a gym. Last year I underwent some fairly hefty training for

Challenges update – One year on
Due to a multitude of web hosting issues, and one horribly corrupted theme and plugin, there’s a whole stack of posts still to be uploaded from the past year. Â That aside though, it’s time for a one year update. Â Just over a year ago I started this whole challenge, and it’s been quite the year.

The plight of young people in Nepal
Two weeks ago I had a delivery to my flat. I live on the second floor, and it isn’t a difficult staircase to negotiate. Despite the package being not that heavy or awkward, the delivery man refused to carry it up the stairs (in the end I did). I think the total weight was about

Challenge 48 is done! Travelling first-class on Emirates A380
I wasn’t sure if Challenge 48 would ever happen unless perhaps I won the lottery, but I guess if you write a goal down, then the Law of the Universe might deliver it. The challenge I’d set was to be upgraded to First Class – no specific mention of an airline as such, although my

Visiting Bhaduare in Nepal
I think I’ve now experienced what it must be like for royalty when they visit a place – the locals gathering to honour your visit. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I committed to visiting Bhadaure village in the hills above Pokhara. Even up until the morning, the arrangements were shaky, and I was
