I am a notoriously busy and fast paced person; in archery I shoot 3 arrows in the time most people shoot 1; in daily life a talk quickly and that only speed up when in meetings and during other time sensitive occasions. I am only able to write this piece as the internet is soContinue reading “10 Things I’m Taking from 2017”

Tattoos and Piercings
I just read a review of my blog from late September last year which really reminded me what this blog is all about, what I want to achieve. I want to make people think. Think about life, think about other, think that there is more than studying more than a degree. Shock horror, how dareContinue reading “Tattoos and Piercings”
Fighting Yourself- Poem
A poetic contemplation on the implications of depression on peoples outlooks.
Exercise: The Key to Happiness?
I never thought that would be a title for something that I would write. My general attitude to exercise if NO! burn it with fire, or something along those general lines. I must now confess though that I do easily an hour of exercise in some form every day, quite often double that. Don’t getContinue reading “Exercise: The Key to Happiness?”
Mindfulness: What’s it all about

There is constantly news on the latest “superfood”, it seems now that there are so many superfoods that everything is a superfood; however, some big brands still like to cling to the idea that they are putting together “superfoods” to create drinks and dishes that are so new and exciting that it can merit chargingContinue reading ““Superfood” Diet”
Exercise through Writing
Writing to me is a large portion of my life; whether writing for this Blog, for magazines, for my cook book, my novel, my play or even that degree I slot in occasionally. Since it takes up so much of my time I thought I would see if it is doing anything for my health-Continue reading “Exercise through Writing”
Dieting
It seems now that everyone is on a diet. From the paleo diet to the 5: 2 diet; there is a new fad diet every month. Most people on them don’t need them and those that do need them do them for 2 weeks tops and then decide it’s too much effort, I know IContinue reading “Dieting”
