Life in ‘uber-rural’ Portugal never fails to amaze me. Yesterday afternoon was no exception, as my search for land for the Earth Collective project took on a whole new dimension....

Immersing myself in nature balances and refreshes me. It also constantly surprises me with intelligent communication. In this episode, I tell the story of how nature helped me make an important decision. I also tell a cat tale, offer a metaphor, explain how my car saved me, and describe a pleasant interlude with my Portuguese neighbour. Here is a brief extract: “My intrepid feline friend went out...

I am learning more about Portugal every day, especially the way of life and the habits of the people. That’s a good thing. But it’s also giving me the heads-up on what to avoid in finding the right location for my project. An anecdote in this episode explains. Also featured are some hairy cat ‘tails’, and the spontaneous mantras that have saved me in a couple of recent situations. Here is a brief...

This episode is dominated by my experience of living through the worst fires in recent Portuguese history, just a couple of weeks ago. Frankly, I could have done without but it was educational, nonetheless. I posted daily throughout. Ironically, since then, it has been continuous torrential rain, gales, floods and power cuts. Fasten your seatbelt for this episode of ‘Epiphanies, Insights & Not...

A varied menu of subjects and experiences in the 5th episode of Notes from my Substack , including a psychological insight into athletes at the Paris Olympics (based on personal experience of competing in international level sport). The spirit of generosity, which is alive and well in Portugal. A twist in the tail of the cat story. The recent heatwave and what might have precipitated it. And for s...

In this fourth audio recording of Notes from my Substack , I share anecdotes, insights and observations from my new life in Portugal. They include several cat tales, a trip to the tax office and stories of forgotten times. Are you sitting comfortably...

In this third audio recording of ‘ Notes ’ from my Substack , I share more anecdotes, insights and observations about my new life in Portugal. They include an impromptu shopping trip, my new best friend, the incredible tenacity of the Portuguese, a close encounter on the bike, and the woman next door....Are you sitting comfortably?

In this second audio recording of my Substack ‘ Notes ’, I share more anecdotes and insights into my new life in Portugal. They include a small bureaucratic victory, more synchronicity, the joy of food, a development to my ‘one challenge at a time’ philosophy, the cat lady, country hazards, bike issues and that all too familiar feeling of disorientation when moving (yet again). Are you sitting com...

I publish regular blogs on my website and also on Substack , where you can read about my life and times, my travels and my recent relocation to Portugal to start a new life and create a cutting edge eco project, called the Earth Collective. In between posts, I publish 'Notes' on Substack, which appear to be a well-kept secret! I have been doing them for a year now, and would like to do more but on...

For a long time, I have felt that time is speeding up, certainly since the '80s. Initially, I thought it was due to a growing connectivity through technology. Email had only just been invented when I started working, the internet was basic, most businesses didn't have a website, mobile phones were new and the few business people who had one needed large muscles (or a trolley) to carry them around...

What do you see when you look in the mirror? This is a question I asked myself many times. For most of my life, I just saw a face. Yet, the old adage 'the eyes are the gateway to the soul' alludes to so much more. I am pleased to say, I can now see a very different image reflecting back at me. In this audio extract from my book, ' The Ultimate Relationship... the one with yourself' , I explain a n...

In an interview on UK Health Radio’s, 'The Great Awakening Show', I talked to host Joanne about what the current awakening of many in our world looks like to me, how I understand the divine feminine, the role women play in leadership based on my experience of working with women, how my book ‘ The Ultimate Relationship ’ came about and why I want to build a self-sufficient, sustainable (in more sen...

On the house front, there's been more decorating - this time the rear sitting room which is the most spectacular room in the house and certainly worthy of a lick of paint. It isn't my favourite job (not even close) and, as usual, I completely underestimated how much work was involved until I started taping up two recessed doors, a recessed window, a fireplace recess and a ceiling full of beams, ni...

It's so easy to lose your mojo, as life pulls and pushes you every which way, on a daily basis. In fact, moments of of equilibrium are generally the exception rather than the rule, for most of us. And once things start to go wrong, life can escalate in the blink of any eye. Regaining equilibrium is an art form....

Just like nature, we have the potential to change ourselves moment by moment, moving through a kaleidoscope of infinite variety in our nature and our being. We are magnificent, like the sunset. But mostly, we have no idea of our magnificence because our thoughts, beliefs and actions, as well as the people and events around us, tell us otherwise... In this audio, taken from my book, ' The Ultimate...

I take my safety seriously, especially when travelling. It's not a lottery. I am responsible for me. I have had my fair share of accidents in the past - in cars, on horses and in a variety of other situations, which have prompted a radically different way of thinking and behaving. I explain some of the techniques I use in this audio extract from my book, ' The Ultimate Relationship... the one with...

I have been reviewing some old writings recently, which included insights and epiphanies that helped me to deal with the challenges I faced during a fast-moving period of my life. I thought I might write a book (this book, as it turns out). But maybe my interest in the past was also a little to do with approaching a big birthday. Whilst 'age' is not an institution I subscribe to (as I plan to live...

I have learned from personal experience (and also from studying metaphysics) that when you use the power of focused thought, and energise it with feeling, what you want to create becomes a reality in your future. Provided you remain balanced (which allows for connection to your instinct), synchronicity will guide you to it. But what often happens it that we block the process by being impatient. We...

I live happily at both ends of the spectrum. Expansive, extrovert and centre-stage is how I lived during the first 20 years of my career, in the thick of it, in London. It was tough and stressful but, for the most part, I loved it. It took everything I had, day and night and my home was mostly for sleeping in. However, home has always been my sanctuary. And that’s the rub. I am conflicted, as I am...

The swirling blizzard continued relentlessly day and night and whipped the heavy snowfall up into drifts of 10 to 15 feet in some areas around the house, yard and fields. Bizarrely, other areas had almost no snow at all. It was surreal. The drive looked like a frozen sea, with huge waves coming over the hedge leaving the horse-walker and turn-out arena barely visible. Snow found its way into every...

I gawped in amazement at yet another stunning sunset, and was filled with wonderment at how every one is unique and exquisite. That night, I observed the full moon, which was mesmerising in its brightness and perfection. Both revealed aspects of our true human nature to me, which I share in this audio extract from my book, 'The Ultimate Relationship... the one with yourself' . For more content, vi...

A friend had been experiencing neighbour difficulties. She was harassed and it got to the point where she was reluctant to leave her house, felt physically sick when she saw the neighbour and was contemplating moving. This resonated with me as I have encountered 'neighbour stress' in the past, on several occasions, and it's unpleasant. In this audio extract of my book, 'The Ultimate Relationship.....

Did you know you can bring your beloved animals back to you when they pass on? This is my experience, several times over, in fact. And they don't necessarily return as the same species. In this audio extract from my book, ' The Ultimate Relationship... the one with yourself ', I share my animals' reincarnation stories, and the extraordinary information they have given me. More of my content can be...
