Chatting Happy: August 2013
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Wednesday, 28 August 2013. What Madonna knew about happiness. As much as I love Madonna (and I mean LOVE), it's not often that I find myself drawing upon her lyrics for inspiration of any kind, let alone for this here blog. I say often, in fact, ever. It is not something I ever envisaged myself doing. Yet, here I am on day 28 of Happiness Happens month, about to do it. It would be SO nice. She knew that too. And I don...

Chatting Happy: June 2014
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Friday, 13 June 2014. Everything changes but you. This is not the post I imagined writing next. When I wrote my last post I was full of the joys of achievement, reflecting on the progress I'd made over the last 12 months . My glass was literally overflowing. I was loving the gym, loving the results, loving life in general and looking forward to continuing my journey. Then somebody drove into the back of me. But it is ...

Chatting Happy: October 2014
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Tuesday, 21 October 2014. What to do when you can't do anything. So, according to my schedule I should have done high intensity intervals on Thursday and Friday evening, a full weights workout on Saturday, a yoga class last night and another load of intervals tonight. And in between all of that been a teacher and kept my house running. Oh, and I have a giant head cold. So, I can't actually do anything. Then, when I di...

Chatting Happy: March 2013
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Wednesday, 20 March 2013. Doing my little bit. As we near the end of the first ever UN decreed Day of Happiness, I thought rather than just sit here writing about happiness and how to increase it for yourself and others, I would a) get out there and do it myself and b) write about how my 'happy' day went. A generous helping of sharing, shouting, tweeting and blogging about happiness, #happyday #happy heroes and all re...

Chatting Happy: February 2015
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Thursday, 12 February 2015. A few years ago I worked in London, in media and then in adult learning and development. I earned a fair few pounds. I put on a fair few pounds also. I worked long hours. I got stressed. And one day it hit me. This is rubbish. I mean I always knew it was, but one day it properly hit me that the rubbishness of it all was too rubbish to carry on with. But I didn't do anything about it really.

The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Friday, 21 June 2013. I didn't quite make it to the mountains, but who needs the mountains? I saw a bumble bee wearing pollen trousers. I saw a kite circling overhead. I saw the sun peeping through the clouds and I heard the jolly little chirruping of the birds in the trees around me. All whilst tasting delicious, sweet mango. And I sat here and I thought: "I like today". Thursday, 20 June 2013. One major reason why h...

Chatting Happy: Strong is the new skinny
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2014/10/strong-is-new-skinny.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Sunday, 5 October 2014. Strong is the new skinny. I can hardly remember a time when I wasn't trying to be skinnier. Or just less fat actually as in order to be anything-er, you have to be a bit of whatever it is in the first place and (in my mind anyway) skinny is not something I have ever been accused of being. And, as this blog will testify, I haven't always felt great. One thing I definitely haven't always felt gre...

Chatting Happy: May 2013
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Tuesday, 21 May 2013. A few weekends ago Alex and I went to Santorini. This is a fairly extravagant way to spend a few days for someone in my current earning bracket, I'll admit, but I'd booked it as a surprise Christmas present way back when both life and pay were rather different and it was non-refundable. So, we had no choice but to go. Terrible shame that. Are quite as perfectly. Relaxing as they should. Or to sum...

Chatting Happy: May 2015
http://chattinghappy.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The random ramblings of an over-active mind. Me and my ramblings. 2012 through my lens. Friday, 8 May 2015. In the wake of the UK General Election I am left deeply shocked and saddened. But not for the reason you might think. This is not a post about my political standpoint or my personal opinion of the election result. In any way. It is a post about being a human being moved by the behaviour of other human beings. But not in a good way. People.human beings not human doings or human votings. Insults and ...
