The Cat's Eyes (2017) - an exploration of the superficiality of life, and what it means to be truly happy, as seen through the eyes of a city cat.

Cat lives in the hustle and bustle of a fast paced city, the Star of its very own self centred and oh so very special show.  Cat is full of self importance and treats everyone else with disdain, after all, why shouldn’t it?  Life is centred on Cat, a cat that never considers anyone else as being anything other than an inconvenience - the only thing that matters is what it wants.

But how do we ever know when we are truly happy?

Cat may be the Star, but, as for us all, the fickle finger of fate and the tapestry of life have other plans.  After a life changing event, the once self centred cat begins to look outwards with thoughtfulness and compassion - things change, cat changes, so everything changes.

The Cat's Eyes is a beautiful and insightful novel about the nature of cats, life, relationships, mindfulness and what it means to be happy.  Funny, moving, thought provoking and light hearted, everyone can learn from Cat.

Homophobia is a Choice - let's stamp it out!

Image
Personally, I can't understand homophobia - just as I can't understand racism, sexism, nor simpler things such as people who throw rubbish out of cars.  However, whilst I cannot begin to comprehend why someone would be homophobic, I do know that it a problem we can all actively try to help prevent.  Homophobia has no place in our society - nor does discrimination of any kind.  We all need to help stamp out homophobia and have a role to play in doing so.   This article examines: - What homophobia is - Why it is a problem - Where it takes place and  - What we can do about it.   Even if you don't 'class' yourself as homophobic, we can all do more to help stamp it out. What is homophobia? Homophobia is a term that covers a wide range of negative attitudes and feelings towards people who are, or perceived to be, homosexual -  whether that be lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or queer folks (LBGTQ+).  It takes many forms, from physical to ...

Wild Camping on the Path to Mindfulness

Image
Ever had the feeling that there's something missing from your life, but you can't quite put your finger on what?  I have, and it really started to bug me - I have an amazing partner and am the happiest I've ever been, my children are doing well and are happy, I have a lovely home, good friends, I'm healthy and enjoy my job.  Everything seemed to be great, yet I had a nagging sensation that there was a gap in my life; an itch that needed scratching. Now, I am one of those people who are naturally very reflective and am always searching for ways to try and further improve myself.  I continually try to better understand and explore my high-level values so I can align my life with them. I meditate regularly , keep fit (running marathons and open water swimming ), continually try to expand my mind through continued education (whether with work related courses, attendance of the highly recommended  Guardian Masterclasses , or numerous and varied online courses suc...

Enjoy the Smell of Optimism in the Air!

As the year draws to a close, now is a great time to reflect on the highlights, and lowlights, of the past 12 months.  Just think about all the amazing things we have all d one and seen this year, what we have achieved, who we have helped and the great times we had.  Many fond memories are in danger of being forgotten unless you consciously remember the year that was - and what a shame that would be!  So, give it a go, give yourself 10 minutes to quietly remember the highlights of the last 12 months.  If you do, I bet it puts a smile on your face 😃 Just as important as remembering the fun times is to reflect on the things that didn't quite go quite as you expected.  Sometimes we let ourselves down, sometimes others let us down, and sometimes life lets us down (we can't control everything).  The trick here is to accept what happened, it's done and can't be undone; all we can do is try to see if we can learn from these experiences.  Don't bea...
