Facing Fear With The Silent Eye, Part 7 – Fear Itself

I recently attended a workshop with The Silent Eye about Facing Our Fears, an extraordinary weekend spent among the hills and grey stone villages of the Peak District. It’s taken me a little while, as it usually does, to process everything that happened. Once again there was history and mystery, good company and tasty food,Continue reading “Facing Fear With The Silent Eye, Part 7 – Fear Itself”

Thank You

It’s evening. The time of day when I’m usually working (other than during the day, when I’m at work).

About a yearContinue reading “What Are You Grateful For?”

Jack Of All Trades

I was thinking, the other day, about all the different jobs I’ve had. Apart from four months off after having a baby and a couple of months after university when I moved cross-country, I’ve worked pretty much continuously since I was fifteen. So here, in no particular order, are all the different paying jobs I’veContinue reading “Jack Of All Trades”
