Calling her down
So when you get to 47, everything shows on your face. Every late night, every moment worrying over a poorly child, every stressful conversation...add in going to bed with soaking wet hair (hello gravity-defying barnet) and that's me today. So do I take to a darkened corner and apply multiple lay...
looking forward so sitting with you and doing some of that thinking BIG stuff together. xx

July 2010 .:. Biz Goals
OK people are we ready for some July? I know I am... watermelon, music festivals, beachtime, maybe some kite flying, and popsicles! oh yes, and some work. I got a fair amount of work done in June on my list. All of these things are SO cerebral, I think I need to move some furniture now... ...
the only thing that would have made this even better would have been if i could have been right there getting it in person. dude, you are so f-ing amazing.
LOVE.

In which a scruffy eejit walks in off the street and totally posts a vlog on my blog
So I was going to make a vlog. A nice pretty one with flattering lighting and some nice make-up and y'know..something relevant to say. But I didn't. I made this and it seems to fit this week's mood quite well. Rough round the edges, dodgy editing, children growling at me (at the end..you'll hear ...
your hands write words that so many wish they could voice.
and you understand the complexity of your moment better than anyone, brilliantly and with compassion for both yourself and for your family.
i hear you.
and i've got deep oceans of love for you.

Deep waters
Thank you. Thank you for reading my angst-ridden post yesterday and for proving that my faith is sound. That there are people who treat each other with respect, love, wisdom and understanding even when they don't agree. It means so much. Stillness. Yeah stillness would be good. I crave some ...
i am loving you as deep and true as a love can love. i feel emancipated by your words. free. and i want only the same for you. nothing less but pure, self-loving, fully-expressed freedom.
i am here for you.

Monday Me: let's face the music and dance
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” - Henry David Thoreau I first read this when I was in my early 20s. I believed it then and I believe it now. I believe ...

A Trio Of Crowns
Where ideas come from is often a mystery. And when the mystery arrives wearing a cape, a red velvet burn out scarf, tall black boots with stripey tights, hand knitted opera length gloves in a lovely angora blend and a flowery golden crown, well you really just have to go with it on an adven...

Perspective somewhat less skewed
A palm reader once told me that I'm impetuous. It was the only thing she got right. That was in my 20s and I like to think I've matured into 'decisive'. One of my strengths is my ability to make a decision quickly and stick with it for as long as I care to. I remember, years ago, reading tha...

It's not been the same since Kraft
Thanks to the power of the tweet, yesterday I found myself on the phone to this lady. She was looking for a volunteer for aversion therapy. For chocolate. Yes. That's right. Chocolate. I have a huge problem with chocolate that's not even funny. In truth I've had a problem with eating in general ...
awesome post, jo. i would love you even on tambourine tuesday, but even more so because i never know what will come next.

Ready
Spring is almost here in Wiltshire and as usual I’m coming back to life. I’m feeling quite proud of how my family and I have made it through this winter without disaster. The vicious viral circle started in November and at least one of us was sick right up until Evie’s little bout of chicken pox...
oh, there is nothing like a fresh egg. we had chickens for a while and i remember each and every day listening to one of the hens lay. she was quite vocal, really needing to share the process with us; and her eggs were the beautiful bluish green ones that i loved the best.

Shapeshifter
When I decided on the name for this blog I finally felt as if I’d hit upon The One. God knows I’ve had enough blogs over the years but with Shapeshifting I knew I’d pretty much hit the nail on the head. I do what it says on the tin. At first it was about the way I flit from idea to shiny new ide...

The Norman Conquest
Fear, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, inadequacy…you know the sort of thing I’m talking about. The feelings that stop you – me – from following our intuition and our ideas. These feelings, I’ve decided, with some advice and prompting from literary wise women, are the life blood of our inner criti...

Not so much bull
Sweet Megg pointed me towards Omega horoscopes and look what I found: Taurus Nearly every Taurus I know is struggling with their career. This seems to be a life theme of your sign. Let's pretend that has something to do with all the activity in Aquarius, your career house. Going back quite ...
right there with you. eliminating the things that i know make me feel bad, adding the things that i know make me feel good. but not calling it anything more than what it is: intention. not a cleanse. not a makeover. not a thing that will ultimately become a timed wagon ride that i can fall off of.
and, yes, move somewhere warm. like california. near me. my daughter is an excellent babysitter ;)

Shifting some shape
I have a theory and it is that my sludgy, inattentive, can't-be-arsed, updownupdown, non-space-holding mind could benefit from some housekeeping. As the sun starts to shine and our little house is flooded with light I see the dusty, stagnant corners not just in my living room but also in my head...
there is always more to say, but i, for one, am happy to hear you say anything.
thanks for keeping it real, once again.

I think I'm the only one of us who hasn't posted about the weekend. They said it all. It's insane but I feel changed. Always a bit of a lone she-wolf, suddenly I'm craving the company of my female pack. That's huge for me. Huge. Thank you my lovelies. I really do love you all. Retreating - ...

that is some serious truth you speak, woman. thank you thank you.
abundance is also my 2010 word. i don't think, in the past, that i truly understood what it was i would be asking for if i chose abundance. now i do. i am asking for the means to manifest passion's yearnings and to care for my family and each other. that's all. and i am worthy.
well done.

Copyright, IHEA, Inc. 2002. Can someone please enlighten me as to why asking for abundance is so goddamned difficult, especially if one is a woman, moreso if one is a momma? At the risk of sounding bossy, I'm going to just say it from the gut. I'm mainly addressing this to my female readershi...

Essaouira, Morocco: and a tiny tale of almost brave
Sometimes I’m tired of being almost brave. Sometimes I’m tired of staring into the unknown. It would be so much easier to just…..just go back home. Where everyone spoke my language. Where I understood the rules. Where things were more……predictable. I could find answers for my computer woes...
