This is something that I’ve believed in for a long time, that the Universe is on your side; that it does everything it can to help you get where you need to be (note: need to be, not want to be!) and even if you ignore it or fight it or give it the proverbial [...]

A New Life In 30 Days?

I once heard somewhere that if you wanted to make a change in your life it took 30 repetitions – turning down 30 cigarettes, exercising 30 days in a row – for that change to stick. Now I actually don’t believe that – I managed to give up smoking overnight, and I’ve had long standing [...]

It’s been a long time since I did an all round update of my pursuit for a Brand New Life. The reason for that is simple, I’ve been out doing stuff. I’ve also been avoiding going on about things too much so as to avoid a false sense of achievement, as outlined in this video [...]

Ok, so where is everything at the moment? First off, I’ve decided not to do the food blog idea (for the moment). I mean I’m hardly keeping this one up to date, so if I started another one that’d just be two blogs I’m not doing. But I am still cooking and I am still [...]

day 28- a picture of you from last year and now, how have you changed since then? This is me a year ago, fresh off the boat from Carlisle after my brother’s wedding, showing off the staff bag I designed and my mum made while I was there (thanks mum ). And this is me [...]
30 Days of Kiki : day 17

day 17- someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why Crikey, that’s a tough one! Let me see… Man, I just can’t decide. My options range from the straight forward – whoever’s dating Natalie Portman at the moment, for obvious reasons – to the mystical – the Buddha, so I [...]
Week 36: part 2
Posted in buddhism, tagged buddha, buddhism, discussion, group, sutta on September 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The advanced Buddhism class last night was… interesting, but I’ve decided not to go back for now. Some of the concepts were a bit heavy going for me, and the discussion of the sutta got completely sidetracked (so it seemed) by a couple of old people who seemed intent on ‘discussing the arrow which had [...]
Week 36: some stuff, and some other stuff…

Well, I know I said no more reports, but what the hell, when you’ve got something to say… Let’s see, yesterday I celebrated 4 months off the booze. I’m no longer forcing myself not to drink, I just don’t feel like it. My test will come in a couple of weeks when I have been [...]

day 7- a picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you There are a few major influences I’d like to have mentioned – like Bill Hicks, Robert Heinlein, Alfonso Cuaron, Gandhi – but I can’t go into them all so I’ll just concentrate on two for the moment; one a someone, and one [...]

An odd week this week, reflective of my lightly confused state of mind at the moment. I really don’t know where to start, so before I do, here’s a picture of Buddha for you to enjoy. Now, let’s start with the fun. I went to see Avenue Q on Tuesday night. Got a couple of [...]
