Do you love a list – writing it, ticking things off and feeling a huge sense of achievement? Do you hate a list – having to write it, not ticking everything off and then feeling like you have failed? Do you resent a list – don’t tell me what to do little piece of paper […]

The anguish of striving for perfection
Do many of us still suffer from this? Are we still totally focussed on having the perfect body, the perfect relationship, the perfect career, the perfect family, the perfect house and the perfect balance in life? We are striving for something that doesn’t exist. Oh no, you say? That’s not you. Do you see yourself as […]
A moment of sheer bliss every day
What’s your special heart warming treat every day? Every day you say? “You can’t have a special treat every day Wendy. That’s not possible. You are crazy.” But what if it is? You are going to think I’m a crazy Nanna but my sheer bliss every day is a cup of tea. And the funny […]
Rituals and celebrations (and the 2017 whiteboard…)
Woohoo that time of year to start fresh and start my new happy board. Yet I kept putting if off. Why? Not sure, so finally instead of it being something else on the list I needed to tick off, I decided it was so important it needed a celebration! A big celebration. It makes my […]
The importance of words
Words are phenomenal. What they can do just blows my mind. We can communicate with each other, we can learn, we can be entertained by stories, we can tell jokes, we can write love letters, we can encourage people, support people, debate, discuss, argue, write, read, talk etc. Where would we be without words?

My magic weapon for happiness
It’s a whiteboard!!!!! Yes that sounds like the worst thing on earth – conjures up pictures of a bossy person explaining budgets to you and telling you that you are never allowed to spend money or have any fun ever again. But mine is different. It’s magic. Oh, of course it’s not magic. It just […]
Why feeling lonely is a good thing
Yes this sounds totally daft. Let me see if I can actually explain this to make sense. Most of us are in such a big crazy rush every day. We are never alone. We are with our partners, our friends, our children, our work colleagues or a billion other people commuting to work. We feel […]
There is magic out there
I’m a bit of a anti-consumerism and not wasting electricity kind of person BUT I was just coming home from dinner with a fab friend that lives in the US when this caught my eye. So I did a detour and checked it out. I felt like crying there was so much joy looking at […]
I’m so lucky I started hating my job
Sometimes the things that seem like the worst thing in the world actually become our biggest blessings. I couldn’t take leave because there was no one to do my job, I got sick of setting up never ending meetings and then changing them, I knew everything so constantly was asked to take on additional projects, […]
I wish I was one of ‘them’
You know those people that you will never be? Those hugely successful, fearless, entrepreneurial, try anything, wealthy people. The book writers, the bloggers, the sellers of things. The runners of their own businesses. Their successful businesses. The Tony Robbins, the Oprahs, the Maria Forleos, the TV chefs, the reality TV stars etc etc. They are […]
