Drowned and the Saved

(This post title is certainly inspired by Primo Levi) As the bulldozer pushed the dead and nearly dead bodies into the hole in the ground that had been dug by the same people who were now dropping into it. As the TV in Westfield shopping mall in Stratford showed pictures of celebrity chefs making street food. Most excitingly this week was "European Peasant Food" made from simple and nutritious grains and wild herbs. Inconvenient Meanwhile downstairs in a pub off Whitehall a man in a grey sui

It's All About Me

So that did not work. Well it did. A bit. I am sitting here thinking that everything has added up to this point and I am glad. There are some cuts and bruises but everything is awesome and I am not even part of a team. WARNING: I am writing this at 100 miles an hour on a phone and it is brain dump rather than a work of art - sorry! There was confusion and a block and something did not feel right. I blame the meditation and the bulletproof coffee. I mapped out my miserable little life and al

Birthday Blog - Hi, Great To Be Back!

Usually I hide when it is my birthday and don't tell anyone. Last year I hid under the big tree in our friends garden in a little village in Poland. I am motivated to write this because the journey from that tree to my birthday this year has been important. (Well important for me anyway). The turning points are best described in trips. The trip to Poland to visit our dear friends enabled me to finally start to reconnect with myself and the deep amazing awe when I met #supercoolwife in Kraków in

Educate, Entertain and Inspire.... #LLBS

I am so knee deep editing blog and podcast content that today's #LLBS update is running behind. I was thinking about the things that have inspired me and what the point of the whole shebang is, Bill Hicks has always made me think and there are more links to people below. This is what popped in my head right now so I dived into Publicate to drag it out and share with you here. Since I started spending more time on engagingpeople.wpengine.com I have noticed the people I really pay at

Reinventing You, me, everybody.....

So I wake up this morning in a BLAZE of glory and think bollox. I did SOOOOOO much yesterday I am going to have to do finish it all today. Time is something I have enough of. The only thing I have more of than time is fear. Not fear that I am about to die, that the cops are coming to get me or a plane is about to land on my house. Fear that if something goes wrong today my new zest for life will be stamped on. The last few months have been shit. When I was little I'd drink too much vodka and

It seemed important at the time

I have been thinking about this all week. The phrase that has been hanging in the all month is working out loud. (I'll come back and add the links in there later) (but I probably won't as I'll forget). ANYWAY What ever will people think if we work out loud? If we let people know what we can and can't do? I have been thinking about blogging like this for, er three years, ten years, actually even before anyone even invented blogging I had some form of mindless stream of consciousness going on

Let the record show

I just could not get my head around it... I been waiting for for my "Bernie Blog" URL to be back up and running so I could write about this. I have to write about this. Last week the inside of my brain started to melt. Of course it did not really start to melt but that is what it felt like. Then I felt like I had been given a frontal lobotomy - I have not had one of those either but I guess that is what it feels like. A few weeks ago my Doctor doubled my medication dosage. THAT medication - t

8 Groovy Blogs you Should follow!

Most of my blogging over the last two years has been writing stuff for company blogs. This buys me hair gel, nappies and recharges my oyster card but, er, um, well it’s very boring, it seems people who pay you to do this have no clue how to really cause trouble and make a ruckus. Since the end of last year I focused on my own writing and I am a better person for it. The most rewarding bit is the stuff money can never ever ever buy like serendipity, learning and conversations both on and off lin

Hells Teeth! I should have told you this sooner...

One of the best-kept secrets to being connected is co-working, the next best-kept secret is your tribe. I have found getting out of your "space" to co-work is brilliant for both your productivity and your soul. This is whether you work for a big shiny corporate or are a freelancer like me. In their respective books Mitch Joel and Lisa Gansky, who are way smarter than me talk about the “friction” and “collision” of ideas between people that end up being called things like “Kickstarter” “Ai

So tell me ten things about your business....

Why do you do what you do? How did you get into it? Who have you helped best? What are the things to watch out for in your industry? What mistakes do people make when buying your product or service? What else should they look at? What else is there in the marketplace they could consider that is better suited to them? If we got trapped in a lift together you’d be able to tell me at least ten things. Often I meet people who say they can’t write, don't know how to talk, sell, breath or anything el
