A Message of Love

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on July 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Since the web publication of my interview last Thursday, I have been swinging from the rooftops to the gutter and back up again. I always knew I would, so I am “comfortable” with this state of uncertainty.  I have lived through this many times. This is just a “mini-post”.  I have much to write about, [...]

I May Not Be A Lady…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 16, 2010 | 6 Comments »

Recently, a very dear friend of mine, Olivia Mackinder, asked me on Twitter what my latest blog post would be about. I responded thoughtfully, “Femininity, Judgement and Listening.” “Quite an epic then!” She replied.  She wasn’t wrong. The truth is, there is so much going on in my life right now that I do not [...]

A Dialogue About Sex

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , on June 22, 2010 | 9 Comments »

My throat is dry, my voice is shaking. It feels alien to me, as if it isn’t my own. It doesn’t sound like me. It sounds childlike. Fearful. I am uncomfortable. My solar plexus feels as if it will implode and somehow take me with it. How can I still feel so afraid? I feel [...]

Clarity

It’s funny how sometimes a person walks into your life at precisely the right time and says precisely the right thing. This morning, a lady called Monica walked into my living room.  Monica is Spanish and has just moved to Lausanne from Madrid.  Her husband and 18 month old daughter will be moving here in [...]

Presents are wrapped, balloons tied up, everything is ready. So why am I crying? Tomorrow my first born, my little angel girl, is 3 years old. She went to creche today, dressed in her favourite outfit of jeans, grey and pink polka dot top, white fluffy coat and Hello Kitty trainers. We took cakes for [...]

Insult My Beloved Twitter, Insult ME…(Or #Twisps)

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on March 25, 2010 | 4 Comments »

This sounds like the start of a rant.  It’s not.  But I would dearly like to explain to those people* (who describe Twitter as a “total waste of time” or “a website for really self-absorbed arseholes”, but have never opened a Twitter account or if they have, spent very little time on it and expected [...]

The Healing Of My Spirit With Deeds Not Words

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on March 2, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Or at least, the first day without pins, stitches or anything else embedded into my arm. This morning I went once more to the lovely Hospital Riviera, Montreux, to have my stitches removed. I appear to be quite well-known there now and I seem [...]

A Question of Distance

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on November 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Shut your eyes. Imagine your darkest time in life.  The time when you felt truly alone, utterly hopeless.  Finished. These are times we all have, some of us are in the midst of them now, whilst others are flying high, loving life.  One of the certainties in life is that, when we find ourselves in [...]

Paullina Simons: I’m sorry for your loss…

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on October 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

My favourite author is Paullina Simons, the most amazingly talented writer of many books including The Bronze Horseman. If you want to get lost in an amazing book, I really recommend this one, and its sequel The Bridge to Holy Cross. I am sad to learn, in Paullina’s blog, of her grandmother’s death, who was [...]
