An Invitation




I think I should offer an explanation, I suspect that if anyone is reading this, they may feel it’s rather indulgent and maybe even a wee bit pretentious, well it is.

I’m not blogging for anyone other than myself, this is part of my journey, my exploration into the unknown wilderness that is me. As ancient mariners would mark uncharted waters ‘HC SVNT DRACONES’, the fear of what dragons may be hidden in the recesses of my psyche has caused me to feel that I have never truly fully discovered me.

I don’t anticipate that anyone will read this, or even be tempted to click follow, but if you do, hello and thank you. Maybe some of what I write rings true with you, maybe not, maybe you might feel inspired to answer some of the questions I ask of myself for yourself, maybe not. Maybe you’ll route for me to succeed, maybe jeer for me to fail, or maybe you couldn’t care less. But importantly, you’re here, and for this digital moment our histories collide, and we become a narrative in each other’s story.

Prince once sang,

‘I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Somebody 2 talk 2, funny and bright
I scan my computer looking 4 a site
Make believe it's a better world, a better life’

Well, this is me trying to make the make believe a reality.

Thank you for reading, I’m not sorry that I lack blogs on food, yoga, healthy lifestyle, make up. I won’t offer advice or tips. Feel free to comment, to share, to explore if you feel inclined too. It would be gratifying to feel that what I write has found a common rhythm within your experience, but it’s not needed.

So, I invite you to join me as hoist the main sail, bring the anchor home, stern the bow to the horizon and guided by the Southern Star seek out these pesky dragons. I expect they’ll turn out to be no more than irate Guinea Pigs.

If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

The other day, I asked Cuddle Bear, my 2-year-old, what makes her happy.  She responded by singing, ‘If you’re happy and you know it clap...
