The Queen, Oklahoma, The One Show And Me

My best friend phoned, breathless, at 7.25 p.m. yesterday. Was I watching The One Show? Oh, purleeese (or however you spell that). Do I look like the sort of woman who watches The One Show? No disrespect, Matt & Alex, but no I wasn’t watching.   “Oh, well, you’ll want to watch it later then, on iplayer. ‘Cos it’s right up your street tonight!” Have you got a best friend who knows you this well? If not, I feel for you. I duly tuned in this evening when I remembered, and what my pal knew was that I would love several [...]

Martha Beck: On Mothers and Mothering

Martha Beck

I’m not a Mum although I have often referred to my businesses as my babies. But I know a lot of my readers are Mums (and we are all children) so I felt inspired to share something with you which I read recently in a book called Expecting Adam by Martha Beck. This is the second time I have read this book and I am pretty sure I never even noticed this passage first time round which just goes to show a couple of things.   One that it’s worth reading books you love more than once and Two that you only [...]

Five Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Judith Morgan

on 05/02/2012 14 Comments
A nice cup of tea (not)

Inspired by a post by Yvonne Halling, the Bed & Breakfast Coach, on the About page of her new website launched recently, and in conjunction with my new blogging pals in the Better Blogging Project, and just for a bit of fun, here are five things you probably didn’t know about me: 1.   During the Eighties I did a bit of spying. No, it wasn’t formal, I wasn’t 007 or anything. But I was asked to do something which now I regret and was so terrifying that I told everyone I knew about it. Since the first skill a spy [...]

The Gift of Listening

Skyros

When I sold my business in March 1997, I was persuaded by my aromatherapist and pal, Jane, that we should go to Skyros. So off we toddled in July. Have you ever been? Blimey what a schlep! You fly to Rome and stay overnight in a pretty basic hotel, then there’s an endless coach trip across Greece and finally a ferry. It’s this grisly travel which makes the Greek islands so special when you get there because most people haven’t got the time or the true grit to undertake such a journey, especially when tired and in need of a [...]

Why Don’t We Do What We Know To Do?

Gentle Reader, bear with me. I’m just thinking aloud on this one. I don’t know the answer and I’m hoping you do?   I’m sure we all do at some level and perhaps not too deeply buried at that. Last night I was pondering my day, going over in my mind the emails I had received from people wanting advice and support. And I noticed a bit of a theme linking them all.   It seemed to me that many of my correspondents already knew what to do, and in some instances it was even an easy thing to do. They just [...]

Today’s Inspiration Found: Michelle Obama

Obama

Oh God, I hope this story is true!   A kind friend shared it with me, having found it on Facebook: One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She [...]

My Inspirations for 2012: Bravery, Heroism, “Ordinariness” and Uncertainty

New_Year's_Resolutions

At least five inspirational women have passed through my house since Christmas at my invitation. I am grateful that I know some of the wisest women in personal development and I asked them if they would like to do swaps, to help each other get clear on what we want for ourselves in 2012. Four of these were coaches of one sort or another. I scanned down the list of coaches I know (only about 150!) and hand-picked the brightest who – bliss – I also count as friends.   Lucky, lucky me. And the fifth was an old friend from the Seventies, [...]
