Womankind

Womankind We are women and we are kind! I do like to start my blogs with a song where I can and this one made me think of John Lennon's 'Woman'. I mean, we must be good if John Lennon wrote a song celebrating us! I have shared and read fab posts today for International Womens day and felt inspired to write a little blog to celebrate the amazingness of women supporting each other and working together. I shared the above lovely post from pinterest and it is so true. A collective group of soul sisters, supporting and lifting each other up. Again, men do this too. I will write a blog for your day! Life is hard and if we can support each other through it, it makes it a little easier! If we can be our own woman, without tearing another down, then that is so much a better way of living. If anything, change their lightbulb with them and increase the wattage through complements and praise! There were so many great quotes that showed up on my memory. This one has always been a favour...

Live for now.  Yes, plan and dream and yes, be nostalgic for the past and the people you remember with love. The special one off times you can never re-create, no matter how hard you try. The past and future are important and help shape us, guide us to who will be. But remember who and where we are now. I have spent ages aching for a time long gone, the 80s and 90s, and for a version ...

Book Lover

Book Lover I have written a few blogs about my love of reading, about books, book clubs and book shops. About collecting and sniffing books and about buying more books when I still haven't read all the ones I already have! My love of books and reading runs very deep. It is a love affair I have had for such a long time. I can't remember not ever reading! I do feel better for browsing bookstores, talking books at my book clubs and buying books. I totally agree with this quote. This page, Because all the books is a fab page to follow, full of lovely quotes.  It really is! It is a mixture of mindfulness, as when your mind is on your book and the physical reading of the words, you can't be worrying. Also, you do fall for the characters and genuinely want to know what is going to happen next. You can't wait to get back into the plot and you look forward to picking your book back up again when you get home. Sometimes, when I feel a bit down or a bit bleurgh, I know I can pick ...
