What's happening now as of August 2011-
I've just bought the new book by Stephen Kelman 'Pigeon English'; and I'm hoping to get Yvette Edwards new book A cupboard full of coats. Can't wait!!
What's happening as of 2015, I'm hoping that I will do a course in Mindfulness at some point this year. I really feel that I should nurture and care for myself. I'm not saying that all is bad but how it is so easy to put yourself at the back and everybody else in the front. I just want to find a nice compromise.
2019 - A great year. Took up Vedic Meditation and went on a Rounding retreat in East Sussex. Didn't much of it at the time but to my amazement I really felt cleansed! Also took on a creative writing course to help me with memoir writing. Course was good and fellow colleagues, really supportive. And again, also went on a writing retreat just for women. All the way in Leeds and it was great!
2020 - Time for lockdown. Really a strange feeling remaining 'indoors' all the time. I moved house, did it up (bought quite a bit of stuff online), was introduced to Zoom so I did an online writing course; an introduction to Homeopathy, and a 3 day meditation course. Again, all interesting and weird meeting strangers online. But happy that I did it.
2021
Did another course, this time a healing course. Been using it on myself daily and it seems to work!
It is now the first of April. Things are still too serious for April Fool jokes. I'm hoping to lose some weight, complete writing all I need to write in my memoir and to continue with my meditation journey.
