I woke up this morning thinking that one of the reasons I struggle to get things done is because of all the clutter in my life and I'm not just talking about my desk, there's my car, my environment and of course my head. Something has to go and now I'm clear it's not me stuff needs to be sorted. We forget that even though we do and say the right things if we don't have our house in order in other ways it can all quite literally fall apart. My creative and business brain are working together on this one and we are looking at developing … [Read more...]

“In the moment, in the moment, in the moment”, those were the words uttered at my script writing workshop this evening (yes, I am exploring lots of angles to keep me inspired) and it reminded me of the importance of not getting too caught up in what could have, would have, should have been.

Excuses, excuses, excuses! Isn't it interesting how we all have them, cleverly disguised as legitimate reasons why something doesn't work or why we can't do something … [Read more...]

I went to Waterstones bookstore Piccadilly London yesterday to talk about possibilities with a friend. The 5th floor has a wonderful view of the city but I must admit there was something missing, bring back Borders Bookstore I miss you! I remember meeting some very interesting people, one who immediately springs to mind is an American woman who was reading a novel. She would come back every day to read on from where she left off the day before. I guess that might have been part of the reason why Borders closed down, you could read and take … [Read more...]

I had a day of reflection (seem to be having a lot of those lately) and conversation (and not all of that was me by myself) can't quite work out whether this is progress or just another reason to stay where I am. The life of a Divapreneur can be a lonely one left alone with thoughts, papers, computer and other technical gadgets but you need some human intervention every now and then to remind you of what's real. Interestingly I came across a programme that explored the meaning of reality. Did you know that "the quest to explain the true … [Read more...]
