Happy Fathers Day

Happy Birthday to the best Dad (or Faja as we like to call him - from Austin Powers Gold Member) 

This is what I made for my main man this morning.  Hope you all had a wonderful day. X

Post Secret

I have been following post secret on and off for many years.  If you havent heard of the website, it blogs peoples secrets that they post.  The idea is that one's secret becomes art. The secrets are anonymous and treated with confidentiality. By expressing a secret, and sending it off to the post secret organisation, the burden of carrying a secret is alleviated.

What I love about the site is that unlike most or all blogs, this blog makes you feel more secure rather than insecure.  Sometimes I feel that the narcissism of blogging is damaging.  Most blogs feed on glamour.  The blogger has the wardrobe you want, has the cooking skills you want, or even has the hair, legs, bum and tum that you want. Post secret is the opposite of that because it doesn't reveal its subjects as commercialised models, chefs or people; with anonymity that facade is broken, and real secrets alongside human insecurity is revealed.  When I read post secret I remember that no one is perfect and we all share the same secrets.  Here are some recent secrets. 

Post Secret updates its blog every Sunday. 

Happy Sunday

Here are some flowers for you

Get Some Head Space

Meditating is a funny thing.  We all know we should do it.  But what actually is meditating?  When I was younger I used to think meditating was sitting in the lotus position (or cross legged as this is a tricky old pose to do), shutting your eyes, with your hands making circles, and making an omm-ing noise. - I modelled this on Rafiki from the Lion King and also from my Granny who was an Iyenga yoga teacher.  Meditating looked funny and sounded weird but as I have grown older, the activity of meditating has become more attractive. 

Meditating is not far off what I thought it was when I was a child. However from practising meditation it is a real bugger to try and do on your own.  The only time I think I have successfully meditated is at the end of a yoga class when the yoga teacher is talking you through relaxing every part of your body.  I find it almost impossible (and also feel a bit silly) when I sit on my bedroom to relax properly.  Without relaxing you do not reap the full benefits of meditating. 

That is why you need Headspace.  

Happy Easter
