Why does it always rain on bank holidays? (Still gonna play football in the park though)
Please can everyone remember that the queen and the royals were born into their situation and did nothing to earn it.
(lovely as she/they may or may not be)
Should we have an elected queen?
Please can everyone remember that true value exists within?
Prince Harry is handsome
Will we ever have a black queen?
Should the queens honours remain, or be replaced by awards not associated with empire?
Street parties are kinda cool... lets have them every weekend

Redistribution of power
I quite like macho guys.
Especially when they are so secure in their masculinity, that they don’t feel the need to control or dominate, rather they recognise the power of a woman, and that the two forces, masculine and feminine, can exist side by side, each essential for each other’s survival.
In relationships, one person may feel the need to control, or hold the power, often at the expense of the other person.
Yet true power can never be taken, it is always given.
I think it should be fluid. Each person can ‘step up’ when required as certain situations require certain skills. It can be redistributed at any point and should never be static.
Maybe the title should be, redefining power- the duality of the sexes.
Being able to recognise the true qualities that exist in another is powerful. Power - is often the very opposite to what we think it is.
Those who truly have it.. never fear losing it.

Why are you here?
Today, my friend asked me why I’m here.
It’s not something I’d thought of lately, so after a little thought I said something along the lines of, ‘feeling I had a role to play, lives to touch in some way... yet in many ways feeling that my journey, as it unfolds will show me why I’m here.
Much of it for me was about giving
She said she felt the purpose of why we are here is to reach perfection, to learn the life lessons and reach enlightenment. That all things that enter into her life ( our lives) are there to help her reach that point, our love and sex lives included.
Much of it from her perspective, was about being
I think it’s a cool question.
It’s the type of reasoning that could possibly improve our relationships (should we wish it to) with each other and treatment of one another. If we considered that those we meet are on a journey, that they too are here to reach enlightenment, we may see them in a different way, not as enemies, or barriers to whatever we want, but as people learning and discovering who they are.
Still, not all people consider these things, and simply live chips in one hand beer in the other so to speak, and the biggest challenge may be which to consume first.
Or, others may glide from one purchase to another, consuming as much material goods as they can
And that’s okay too... for awhile
There is usually a price to pay
However,I believe at some point in the lives of one... the thought will arise.. the mission ( should they wish to accept it) is to follow through.

Like attracts like
Our partners are a reflection of ourselves.
Who we choose as our partner will tell us more about ourselves than words alone.
If there are aspects of our other half that we don’t much care for, you can rest assured that if we’re not running for the hills, there is a part of us that is just like that.
In some cases perhaps their behaviour enables us to feel superior (ego) with the thought.. ‘what an arse ( or bitch) .. I’m not like that!’..
Perhaps their behaviour may enable us to hide and never have to face our true selves.
Truthfully, there is a lesson in every relationship should one wish to learn it. Each experience in life is presented to us to get us to either utilise our skills, or develop in areas of weakness. Either way, they show us who we are.
For good.. or ill.
Our relationships mirror us

The attraction of the ego
What is it about our egos that seem to make life so attractive?
Is it that it keeps us from ever questioning ourselves?
Our egos, when in full control , feed us the lies it needs to survive. Its very survival is based upon us believing in it, and never questioning it.
Whilst it feeds us lies about others, and maintains our own insecurities by telling us that we are bigger better, smarter, stronger, richer, or more beautiful than others, Ironically It deepens our insecurities and propels self hatred of the highest order.
As we cling to things, ideals, roles or positions to validate ourselves, we are seemingly unaware that we move further away from our inner higher self, further away from enlightenment, and further away from the truth.
We love those who feed our egos, either through words or status. They love us in return for that very same reason, we mistake ego love for real love, get trapped in a cycle and rarely leave.
The ego is a greedy parasite with only one goal in mind. .. to totally consume its host.

Jubi-lant Friday..
see what I did there... :)
Okay.. the Queens Jubilee is approaching and I found myself reminiscing about the last Jubilee I remember. I was very
young, and attended a party on the street of one of my parents friends. All I knew was there would be cake fun, and lots of playing outdoors. It was a little boring truth be told, and a little chilly, but thinking back I had a nice time. We were all given silver coins to take home.(I hoped it was an antique) Lots of flag waving.. not much else.
I have a few patriotic neighbours.. not many. So there are a few union jacks on display.. and a little bunting here and there.
My Jubilation has little to do with the Jubilee though.
I'm just pleased to have finally completed the work that had been gnawing away at my psyche for months. Pressing the submit button, I felt a mixture of nervousness and relief. I should sleep well tonight. Hope so anyway.
Also, someone I've been working with has finally got the job of her dreams. I remember when I met her and she introduced me to her passion for space, I remembered thinking.. that's not something I here everyday :)
With her MA in engineering two years behind her she felt it wouldn't happen. Last week it did, and she was offered a job with a large space company.
That's pretty cool.
The sun is shining.. lots of reasons to feel jubilant xx
