Sat here looking out at the garden, with ideas buzzing around my head. Need to practise using the pa equipment and find out the other stuff I need. They so lie when they say this stuff is portable. I love a bit of stress it helps you come up with the best plans. I can't say all is good with the world but while I have ideas then things will work out. My books are selling, slowly but selling. Had three lots of royalties so far, whoopee I can afford breakfast for two at Wetherspoon. Lol. Joking aside I am just grateful that someone appreciates my work and the huge amount of effort that goes into it. I am a very complex person but what you see is what you get, I say it like it is. People either love me or hate me there is no in between. It is no good trying to analyse me as even I don't know what I am about. I love my family, a few good friends and my furry babies and will do anything within my power for them. I enjoy what I do and am happy if it keeps the wolf from the door. I don't hanker after fame or fortune but I do like to be appreciated. I hate false people if you have a problem with me just say so and if you want to know something about me just ask, I have nothing to hide. I will help people whenever I can and ask for nothing in return. But like most people I do have a dark side.

I have been battling with some physical health issues over the past couple of years or so which have left my energy levels lower than normal and have made me a bit flat workwise. Over the past couple of months I have started to notice some changes. The energy levels are starting to peak again and I have been experiencing some of the old excitement (relating to my work) returning. Other people are also feeling these changes within in me I have noticed it in the way people are reacting to me. Some of these reactions are positive but a few have been very negative indeed.
At the moment I am going through the process of 'flushing out' my body and mind. I know all of this is leading to new things and being involved with new people. Not necessarily a new pathway but certainly an improved one.
Over the years I have practised meditation, self-healing, cleansing and detoxifying (these few things will always be a part of my spiritual pathway and evolution). At times I have dabbled with affirmations, self-love, tapping, mantras, visualisation, love thy enemy, etc, etc. In latter years I ditched all these things in favour of positivity, the power of the mind and complete trust in the Universe to provide me with what I need. In fact ditched all the stuff that I don’t have time for as I am too busy living and working. This has given me a deep rooted sense of peace. Yes I still worry, yes the occasional negative thought slips through, yes I still feel emotional pain, yes my body still hurts at times, yes I sometimes feel down; but I don't wallow in these things, I work with them and turn them to my advantage.
Anyway I am looking forward to working new venues, meeting new people and welcoming back some of the ones I already know. I have something new and exciting planned for the autumn so watch this space for more news xxx

Tales From Behind The Potting Shed Or If At First You Don’t Succeed, Put It On The Compost Heap

Photo copyright Brenda Diskin   I can’t even grow weeds, no! it’s true, believe me I have tried. Gardening has never been my strong point, so if I say it comes in fits and starts you may understand where I am coming from. I am not so much green fingered as ham fisted. Whilst trying to get the garden in some kind of order, wanting to make it look more like   a place of tranquility rather than a wood yard, I decided it may be time to plant a few flowers. I love herbs and thought that the small area I set aside for plants might make a good herb garden. Then I remembered the last herb garden and the demise of the plants that lived within. I planted Basil, Tarragon, Mint, Rosemary, Chives, Sage, Parsley, Oregano and more. Strong healthy plants they were, when they went in. The Basil was the first to go, almost overnight in fact. Huge chunks chewed from the leaves by what appeared to be large jaws (compared with the size of the leaves) until all that was le...

Staying Positive When Life Feels Like Crap

-
It's not easy to remain positive when life slaps you in the face but when you are feeling down negativity just makes it worse. I wouldn't expect you to walk around with a 'Cheshire Cat Grin' as people will think you've escaped from the Shining film set or the local asylum. What I am saying is, a good morning or a nice smile could well make someone's day and will certainly make you feel better. Remaining positive is about trusting that 'the powers that be' will sort things out in a favourable manner. A tough one. Sounds like a load of rubbish doesn't it? Okay, let's put it in a different way. Briefly, everything is composed of energy; that is, everything is composed of atoms which are made up of protons, neutrons (together called nucleons) and electrons. We were taught from a young age, by the use of magnets, that positive repels positive. If this is the case how does maintaining a positive outlook attract positivity? There is another force ...

  Lots of new ideas buzzing around my head. At the moment Mick and I are busy making things, trying to clear some of the 'waiting to be done something with' pile (which keeps being added to daily). We have 12 huge boxes of material in the loft to use up and a trunk full of 'might be useful one day' bits. I also have three books to finish, and a ghost writing project which has been waiting five years to be done. Somehow I need to find the time to bring everything together into some kind of manageable state. I am going to take a one week break from social media soon, to clear my head and have coffee with my sister who I haven't seen for 34 years. Hopefully, after that I will have some plan of action., and will know if Boris is letting us out long enough to get back to work. I really do need a manager/agent/promoter to sort me out, I used to be so organised but now I struggle bringing the ideas to fruition; not enough hours in the day.

Sunday, March 6. 2016 Well folks this will be a long one (eventually) because everything I have to say about this special little girl will come through the memories of the years we spent together, and this can't be written overnight. The picture below is a watercolour I painted of her. Original watercolour by and copyright to Brenda Diskin It was January 1998 when we decided to get another dog. The house had been empty since we lost our rescue German Shepherd, Susie. We thought a a Jack Russell this time; we had had Jacks before and knew what great dogs they were. We found a kennels on the way to Milton Keynes who had one JR puppy left. The owner bought her to show us. She was four months old, a pathetic, nervous little creature that stunk of urine. Apparently the owners son had wanted her but after having her for a few weeks had decided he couldn't cope so she was put back in the kennels for sale. Even if she had been the most awful looking dog in the world I c...
