Ten years ago today I started a blog. I had decided now was the time to follow my long held dream of opening my own crystal shop. As part of that plan I aimed to write and publish a blog post every day for a year about why I wanted to and how I was… Continue reading Ten Years in Time
In my usual fluid go with the flow version of planning Wednesdays seem to have become my focussed marketing and promotion day. My marketing skills are not at the same level as my knowledge and application of crystal healing, astrology or, as was, HR, They have been previously limited to a role promoting a charity… Continue reading Market forces
Today was decision time. Although you could already guess what the decision was going to be. No spoiler alert needed here. Yes, of course it was yes. Could it have ever been anything else? We still did our due diligence, working it out the best we could. Costs, income, decoration, projections, requirements, risks... Not entirely… Continue reading But of course
What shall I write about? Oh yes, maybe about our first viewing of a shop space! 😊 Today's space was a fantastic project in North London for longer term pop-up shops.

They are a non work working day and I have finally gone from worrying about how on earth I am going to fill this day stretching before me to how blessed I am to have a day stretching before me. And that reflection has be borne out of a day of… Continue reading Piscean reflections
The theme of today was motivation. Working in the HR world this is quite common as a lot of what I do drills down to whether someone is motivated or not and how they behave in various states of motivation. As its been a common theme I am deducing this is a message for me.… Continue reading Check please
Lazy Sunday. Actually a guilt free lazy Sunday. I am making the most of this feeling, I'm treating myself. Morning meditation, some nice food, good company and a bit of TV. (maybe more than a bit) Embarking on a non-plan business plan to me means staying present. Guilt and worry take me into either the… Continue reading Sunday bliss
