About Me

Predencia
A few years ago I decided to start a new career as a performer. I used to be a biology teacher but couldn't face walking around in a white coat all day teaching children who didn't want to learn. Actually it wasn't so much the children as the system cause I think all children want to learn - they just don't all want to learn in schools. Anyway I now work as a Life and Executive coach. Work is perhaps not the right word because it never feels like work. I just love to see people grow and change. I love it when they peel of the layers of limiting beliefs and find their true self. And I make some great frends in the process. I've re-discovered my writing and have published two poetry books and now working on 2 CDs, a novel, a book of short stories and talking to someone about a collaoration on a film script. That should keep me busy for a whild. Oh and I do bellydance.

Starting the countdown

Realised on Saturday its exactly 5 weeks to the wedding. Didn't go to the Belair on Friday night so I'm still not sure what its like.I'll just have to find out on the night like everyone else. We decided against it as we were both knackered at the end of the week. Went out for a meal in Solihull instead and ended up in bed at 11 pm. instead of 2 or 3 a.m. which would have been the case if we'd gone clubbing. (is it just age?)

Spent a chunk of Saturday getting he lads kitted out. I'm sure there must be a poem about older women taking the inside leg measurement of young men but I'm too tired to think of it just now. Sure it will come to me. The performance world seem like a couple thousand miles away at he moment. I'm not taking part in the 'Hello Jerusalem' event at the Drum on Friday 10th July. Inspiration seem to have dried up or maybe its just been covered over by wedding plans and property matters.

It's great though that I was able to complete the table plan last night as our guests have been brilliant at replying to our invite. Still chasing a few evening invitations so if you haven't returned your card yet PLEASE DO by Wednesday. TA!

Beginning to bubble now

I'm aware that my website needs a deparate overhaul, I'm just trying to find the time to do it. Been developing a property one for the new launch into the dizzy world of investing. I'm beginning to see a window to address many of the creative and performing issues once the wedding is out of the way. I'm not meaning to sound like its a chore - I'm really excited now - it's just that its very time consuming. R and are going to check out the Belair on Friday night so I can get an idea of what the guests will be in for on the night (or maybe Saturday will be better?) May stick with Friday as it's already in the diary and I can feel the hen night on the 4th July looming. Must take myself out and invest in a basque. I got wind we were in for a bit of a Moulin Rouge night. Must see if I can post some of the pictures here.

Whirlwind month

Gosh! It's the end of the month already - and what a month it's been. The black tie dinner was a great one after the Mastermind workshop. There are definite advantages to being the only white wine drinker on the table, especially when the wine is a particularly tasty Survignon Blanc. I'm not sure how coherent I was by the end of the night but it was a dedidedly good night. It was good to see Richard Wilkins again and to be reminded that everyday that one finds onself alive is a day to celebrate.

The property search has speeded up and so has the plans for the wedding. It's all falling into place but requiring a bit more of my time. I've received a lot of replies and I know you still have till the 18th June but please send the RSVP back as soon as you can. I think I've got the entertainment sorted now.

Not much time left for writing and performing, though I did manage a poem during a quiet spell on the Mastermind, and performed a poem at Spicy's birthday party last Saturday. It is a really exciting time just now. I'm manifesting almost instantly which means I have to be really careful with my thoughts because a few undesirables have crept in (tooth infection for instance) - though mostly it great stuff. I've been reviewing my vision boards and am astounded by what has actually been manifested into the physical to date. Busy doing a property one now - watch this space.

Another bank holiday

Last blog written last bank holiday. I hope I'll have time to write more often but it feels a bit hectic just now. I've been geting out a bit more to gigs and things but not finding time to write or to perform. The property thing seems to be taking over. I joined Simon Zutchi's property master mind course which is an intense 12 months of focus on property to build a portfolio quickly. I'm loving it - and joy of joys there's room for fun and glamour as well as brickdust and paint. There's a black tie dinner on Friday after the workshop - a chance to dress up in a long frock. A bit different to the Glee Club on Saturday night. A night out with the tennants and a few other friends - what a laugh and the disco afterwards was fun too. Alas I haven't seen much poetry and even had to cancel my Writers Without Borders meeting on Saturday to go a view a property. I'm hoping to get to Poetry Bites this month and Pure and Good and Right in Leamington on the 31st. Oh - and the wedding plans are going well - just need a performer for the evening for about 45 minutes - know anyone?b

A very happy Easter

I hope you had a very happy Easter. I sometimes think given the meaning of easter that its a bit of an oxymoron to wish someone a happy one. Anyway I had a happy one. Went to a 40th birthday party on Saturday night and had a great time. Maybe a glass or two too many champagne but the atmosphere was great at its been a while since I was still out at 4 a.m. (Also a while since I slept in till 2.30 p.m.) Then on Monday I went up to the Derbyshire Dales and had lunch with some friends - rather a long lunch - lasted till 8.30 p.m. A weekend of total indulgence in every way. Its now as near as damn it 3 months to the wedding so from 18th of this month I'm on total cleanse and preparation for the big day. Hopefully the invitations will arrive this week so we can send them out - look out for yours and please reply soon.

Full House


Last tennant moved in yesterday. There's a bit of an odd story behind this. Three of the rooms were let very quickly then of course there's been this gap since. Quite a few people came to view the last room and although they all said they liked it no one came back. Last week I decided to do a new advert as the previous one was looking a bit tired. Within hours of going live on Spareroom (on Thursday 2.30 am) I had a call, by the end of the night I'd got a viewing with another booked for Saturday; again the person said he loved it, even promised to bring his deposit to secure it at 7am the next morning - but didn't. Then my friend came round on Friday night and I asked her- casually - to have a look at the room and give me an opinion as to why it wasn't going. The first thing she noticed was the Jean Michel Jarre album cover I'd got propped up on the bookshelf as dressing 'Why on earth have you got a skull in the room?' she exclaimed, and for the first time I noticed that there was indeed a picture of a skull overlooking the room. 'Have you any idea the effect that could be having subliminally?' The skull was promptly removed and on Saturday morning the room was taken. All week I've been inundated with calls from others who had seen the advert and wanted to know if the room was still available. What do you make of that? So if you've got a room to let - beware the sublimnal messages. The house feels complete now.

The Master Practitioner

I begin my NLP Master Prac course tomorrow. I can't believe its come round so fast, feels like just a few weeks ago I was writing about finishing the practitioner course. Life's been a whirlwind, changing so fast I can hardly keep up. And on top of everything else I now have a wedding to plan.
