Stop Stalking Me.

Relax, this is not a post about any online stalker or anything frightening like that. This is a post about the way that the sites you browse online, can sometimes never ever go away. You can very innocently look at a certain hotel booking site for a little fantasy holiday (that you can’t actually afford)…

Where to find your dream job?

Ok. The job market in Ireland has changed. When I ask people what they are doing to find a job, they usually list about 3 typical sites that they are looking at and then they check the local newspaper. To make the search a little bit easier I’m going to list a few sites and…

The Danish Education System. What can we learn from them?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I finally got to Denmark this Summer. I have had a fascination with all things Danish for the past number of years. It started with admiring the furniture in Brigitte Nyborg’s house in Borgen. I was quite fascinated by the way that Danish Society was represented in that….

I Just wanna be like the cool kids.

I haven’t blogged in the longest time. I have been crazy busy for the past few months. I have a lot to fill you in on. I fulfilled a lifelong ambition of finally gettting to Scandanavia at the start of July. I came back from London yesterday after giving a workshop at Outbox Incubator and I thought…

How to find your tribe, Did you know you had even lost them?

I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older that I’ve started thinking a lot more philosophically about life. I mean i’m almost 21. (Sorry I mean 42), it’s very easy to forget those last 20 years. You can get caught up in a haze of school pick up’s drop off’s , football, training, games,…

Outsourcing your social life.

I have been blogging for a while now and one of the perks (cough cough) is that I’m starting to get emails from companies asking me to check out their products to view them or recommend them. My ego was going into overdrive when I spotted one of these messages in my inbox from a…

Creativity in the Digital Age.

It saddens me when I meet people who are very creative and they feel quite like they are haven’t quite made it. (Whatever that means.) It can mean that they haven’t appeared in Forbes, Huffington Post, ,an art gallery a publication, made money, been discovered or forgiven themselves for loving doing something that doesn’t bring…

Overcoming the back to school blues (FOR TEACHERS)

I spotted this post and it made me laugh.   I vary from being thrilled at having a routine again to being filled with dread at that routine, being overwhelming and difficult. I look at my son’s shining new twistables, with his sparkling uniform, newly covered books and wonder how long it is before the…

Getting ready for September.

I had a look yesterday at my eldest child’s book list. I then checked for any extra body parts that I could sell in order to come up with the funds to buy some of them. Why the books need to be updated into the newest version so regularly amazes me. Surely they could just…

Virtually Living—— Would you like to?

I have been busy for the last few weeks working on creating a course which would enable people to acquire new skills so that they can create an income from home. Why? I constantly meet people who are unable to work full time, people who may be carers, on disabiity benefit, raising children, living in…

Self-Publishing

I decided at the start of this year that I was going to actually publish something. “Why”, I hear you ask. Well I regularly tell people that one of my biggest fears in life is talking to my grandchildren about all the things that I regret not doing in life. I never want to utter…
