Taking up Marion’s theme, which also just happens to be the topic of an end-of-term challenge we have set the Better Bloggers, here are my Five Best Things About Working for Myself. This is a BlogTag and if you would like to play, just let me know and I’ll send you an invitation to participate early next week. We are giving the Better Bloggers a head start until Saturday. My self-employed career is now some thirty-five (35!) years young. And over that time my Five Best Things would definitely have changed and changed again, and again. This is the 2012 [...]

Today Is A New Notebook Day. Callooh! Callay!

Judith Notebook

Is there anything more gorgeous than a new notebook? I have stashes of these about my person and my place. Little A6 ones for my handbag with glittery pink covers from the Fabulously British collection at TheArtFile.com. One of a pair of thin fine-lined moleskin ones, a bargain one I was unable to pass up – a post-Xmas reduction at M & S while grocery shopping and the last in a line of 3 personalised ones from GettingPersonal.co.uk, this one’s got love hearts on it with Judith on a pink heart. That’s the one I’m starting today for my worky-type notes throughout [...]

Authenticity: Do You Dare To Show Me The Real You?

on 21/02/2012 3 Comments
Authenticity2

During the first few weeks of 2012, I’ve been doing a lot of phone calls with entrepreneurs and the same recurring themes come up over and over. These people are at the early stages of starting their own small business or self-employment. And they are fearful and uncertain.  That uncertainty is usually around what to offer the world and how best to do that.   “Will people want me and what I have to offer?” And so I ask them about themselves and discover what their life’s work has been about to date and attempt to excavate their natural gifts and talents which [...]

Choices: My Strange, Ambivalent Relationship With Modern Comms

on 10/02/2012

I love gadgets and I am strangely techie for a bird of my age. But it is often a love-hate relationship. Take me and my mobile phone. Yes, I’ve got one. No, I don’t know the number. Why’s that?   Well it’s main two uses are to allow my niece and nephews and my cleaning lady to text me. That’s about it really. I don’t much care for texting. I don’t do it on the phone itself but on the T-Mobile website where I can type as fast as I think, well nearly.    And I certainly don’t want my mobile telephone [...]

Oh Lord Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

Sorry

Yesterday, inadvertently, I managed to upset and confuse people with my written words. This is very sad to me and not least because I intend that my next career will be as a writer, so that ambition slipped back a notch or two yesterday.   How did this come about? I commented on a high traffic website and used one word badly. My intention was love, I think everyone knows this about me. But the person who I was loving (pretty anonymously, or so I thought) in the comment read it with quite another pair of spectacles on. And when I read the [...]

This was shared with me today. It is apparently from a wall in Brixton, South London, which is very close to where I live.   What do you think?

Going Virtual: My Last Three Books In The World

on 08/02/2012 1 Comment
Beloved Books

I’m having a bit of a bookish day today. And I was down The Abundance Shed earlier and I got a bit clutter-cleary. In the bottom draw of the filing cabinet (shh) are a couple of valuables I want to shift on eBay on Friday so I made a note. Then I pulled the last armful of books I own in the whole entire world down off the shelf and laid them all out for the Oxfam repository in the Sainsbury’s car park later in the week. And there are three books I cannot bear to be parted from. Can [...]
