Welcome to my world of friends, travel, yoga, gardening, business and love
I was on the fence and seriously considering ‘out’ based on a quote I often use ‘if you want different results you have to do something different’.
But in amongst all the scare-mongering from both campaigns, I started to spend time looking at the facts and how they impacted what is important to me. For the campaigns are of course trying to scare us

Why is it considered a crisis?
What is your immediate interpretation of this term?
Why is it typically applied to men aged somewhere between 35 and 50 who are questioning and challenging their life and achievements so far? Wondering ‘is it enough?’ Perhaps feeling an element of guilt, that they haven’t done enough to fulfil themselves or that they have so much compared to others who are suffering in this world.
What if this period of questioning wasn’t met with such a negative label?

Sometimes, most times in fact I think I think too much. My brain seems to dive right down between the weeds and starts looking for root cause, for an answer, a reason, the bigger picture, for the beginning.

The deep burble vibrated up through my feet, whizzed round the pit of my stomach and caught my heart. Oh how I love that sound, that feeling, it stops me in my tracks, it makes me catch my breath.
They were near – out of sight, but so near I could feel them.

A year from now you will wish you had started today
What’s stopping you? That’s right, nothing
