I had a workshop last week with a group of writing students on ‘how to take charge of your (life &) career’. The most important point I stress in the workshop is to take full responsibility for your own life, and not to give away your power to anyone else. It has been one of the […]
The normal human pattern of growth is a big leap forward where you stretch and expand far beyond your comfort zone, then another action is sparked – it’s a pull back to safer grounds. That’s when most people quit their newly tried on routine. They say “It was just not for me”. What in fact happened […]
I’ve been in Los Angeles a little over a week, and it’s been all about breaking habits. First, I’m not in my normal surrounding which brings a sense of being a fish out of the water. I love getting that experience, because it makes me grateful for the amazing things I have in my life back home […]
Since the beginning of this year I’m doing a workshop called ’Take charge of your career”. I’ve been zooming in on freelancers and students of the film industry as a start, but it works just as well for freelancers in any field. The workshop is based on my own shift, from feeling that my career […]

Grow as in acquire new characteristics and skills. One of the most potent lessons, as I look through these two years […]
Two years have passed since Mhairi and I started our bead movement. We decided it might be a good idea to look back on our journey, and what a journey it has been. I am forever grateful that Mhairi’s and my paths crossed on a warm December day in 2012 at a Women in Film […]
Last weekend I got two blisters on a finger. Thought nothing of it more than I must have catched them while doing some work at the summer house. A day later I got one more, in the hand this time. A couple of days later three more on the fingers. They were getting bigger, and they […]
