And we’re back!

January 12, 2010

Just a quickie. The eagle-eyed among you will notice that we’ve been “away” for a little while. I’ve been moving web hosts – what a pain! But thanks to the lovely Nathan Briggs, my lovely blog is back!
And hopefully I will be making some posts with actual content in the near future.
Short version: I aten’t [...]

*snap!*

December 28, 2009

So one of my major obsessions right now? (Apart from the astrology thing, obviously.) Lego.
I love it. There’s something about the building and taking-apart and rebuilding that is weirdly, profoundly satisfying, and the sound of two block clicking together – *snap!* – is really pleasing. And I want to talk a little bit about why, [...]

More mini-announcements!

December 24, 2009

So right now, I’m totally obsessed with getting this new astrology business up and running. It’s exciting! And scary – there is so much to get sorted and so much to work out.
But over the past couple of weeks (yes, it’s really that long since I posted last) I’ve made a lot of progress. I’ve [...]

A division of me. And a mini-announcement.

December 9, 2009

So, some things to know about me.
I’m a fan of Ben Goldacre. For those of you who don’t know, he’s a newspaper columnist who writes about the misrepresentation of science in the media. He would say that the real story of what is going on in the world, as described by science, is far cooler [...]

On not blogging.

November 2, 2009

I’m noticing that I haven’t posted to this blog for months. Last post date was – actually, I don’t even know without checking. (And I’m writing this post in a word processor, not in the Wordpress interface, so I’m not even looking at the site just now.)
(Edit: August 16th – almost 3 months!)
So in the [...]

Transition.

August 16, 2009

I had a thought recently.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been decluttering my space with a little help from the Making Space For Your Goddess To Shine decluttering course.
I’m currently off work with depression and part of that, for me, right now, is that I’m staying at my parents’ house instead of at home. I only [...]

Altars for the not-so-New-Age.

August 13, 2009

So let’s talk about the stuff that helps. I spend so much time on this blog talking about the bits of my life that I hate. Or trying to process the difficult and sticky bits. It’s all a lot of hard work – and sometimes I think it’s cool to focus on the good stuff. [...]

What if…

July 28, 2009

Today I want to talk about the magic power of being where I am.
It’s hard to be where I am. It’s hard to say, “okay, I’m depressed, and that’s okay,” and not try to get better. In fact, for the first few days of trying this method of being kind to myself, I was completely [...]

There’s always something.

July 25, 2009

So today I want to talk about another part of my experience and of what’s going on in my head. Because it’s useful for me to write it down. And if the comments on previous posts are anything to go by, it’s sometimes useful for some people to read this stuff, too. So if you’re [...]

Narrowing of experience.

July 20, 2009

My mood, it goes up, it goes down. I get well, I get ill – and eventually, well again. It’s a spiral. I like to think it’s an upward spiral, because I feel that where I am now is somehow “less down” than where I was this time last year. I’ve learned things – but [...]
