So, I'm back. Lots going on I've read every comment on Facebook (321 and counting) in response to my blog from the other day, "Why I'll Never Read Think & Grow Rich Again." And every private message :) You know that joke Roddy makes about giving positive feedback at the Maxwell training...

So this piece has been years in the making. Starting thinking about it in 2019, jotting down ideas and seeing references all over the place - but felt kind of weird about writing it. 

After all, Think and Grow Rich is a much loved book. Millions of copies sold and counting. It's revered in...

It's turned into a bit of a joke in our household, and Roddy said it again from the IMC stage last week "most of my best thinking is done by my wife".

Ha! It's not true. Roddy is sharp as a tack, I fear he doesn't need me one bit... but I will say this: two minds are indeed better than one (Ecc...

 So, it's becoming a habit now.

The writing, followed by the doubting, then the procrastinating, and finally the abandoning... a short interval and then a regeneration of the writing... followed by the doubting, etc etc.

We just got to Orlando for the August 2018 International Maxwell...

I sit here with a glass of red wine thinking perhaps writing is a little like driving and perhaps one shouldn't drink and write... but here goes anyway.

D messaged me today.  I don't know how I connected with D, but she is a very beautiful, very 'together', very...

20 years ago today, I got married.

Not to babe, but to my first husband.

(It's not so romantic to recall your 'first' wedding day is it..? The day when you promised yourself to another, that ultimately ended in heartbreak and heartache.)

It just jumped into my awareness today, as it was a fairly...

You know when you feel like you have about a billion things, a billion thoughts zooming around your head?

I didn't really want to write today, and I purposefully didn't commit to writing on a schedule because I didn't want to feel like I 'should'.  However, I am beginning to see that this is...

As we all watch with baited breath as Irma pounds Florida, something has struck me, really hard, right between the eyes.

Some people really panic in a hurricane.

Some have terrible anxiety.

Some duck out as quickly as humanly possible.

Some pride themselves in hunkering down and riding it out.

...

Holy crap.  This hurricane, descending upon South Florida very shortly, is a BEAST.  We safely evacuated yesterday, and wait and watch from beautiful Alabama to see what will happen.  Our neighborhood (on the Jupiter Inlet) now has a storm surge warning, and we are completely...

I can't be bothered to blog tonight, but I walked out on the deck and looked at the huge orange moon and listened to the I don't know what on the lake (birds? crickets? It's a cacophony of noise) and I know there is peace in being still.

My head and heart are in FL and I'm not ashamed of being...

I am sitting at my kitchen table, it's almost midnight and everyone is fast asleep. I really shouldn't be typing here... (but it's all Damian and Angela's fault... filling my head with big dreams).

We are getting ready to evacuate early tomorrow (beating Irma to the punch if you will) getting on...

I am sitting here in our kitchen, in a real mood... we go back to England tomorrow, our last trip back home until we permanently move on July 9th... and I don't want to go!!!

I love the quote from When Harry Met Sally, where Harry says 'when you decide you want to spend the rest of your life...
