Moving Forward
Welcome & thank you for stopping by.
I’ve created a number of pages where you can find blogs about different topics & here you'll find those on Moving Forward.
In preparing these pages, I read through the almost 200 blogs I’ve written & posted here & realised that the majority fell under the generic heading of ‘Moving Forward.’
So here you’ll find blogs on a range of topics, which, if you follow them will assist you in moving forward & in time finding happiness & joy.
I recommend that you browse through them with this quote by Joseph Campbell in mind. ‘If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.’
So please read a selection, knowing that some will resonate & some won’t. And that’s perfect, because what supported me moving forward, might help you & it also might not.
In my blogs I usually ask questions, so I also encourage you to take time to answer them.
And as always, please read with an open mind.
You can read the blogs I’ve written about moving forward below.
There’s obviously a cross over between the different subjects, so you might wish to read my blogs especially about grief and how creativity can heal.
You can also use the 'search blog' menu option to dig deeper.
And there’s more in my book, Finding Joy Beyond Childlessness.
