One Small Life: The Blank Page
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-blank-page.html
Thursday, April 9, 2015. Last week I listened to a podcast of The Conversation Hour. In which Jon Faine was talking with Rachel Power. About the book Motherhood and Creativity: The Divided Heart. And there was a moment that really resonated with me. It was a good conversation, interesting, inspiring but there was a singular moment that really punched me in my heart. Rachel Power said this:. Unfortunately my lessons have come back to front. I'm learning it's not so much being a Mother that impacts on ...

One Small Life: Photo Safari :: Museum Edition
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/photo-safari-museum-edition.html
Thursday, April 2, 2015. Photo Safari : Museum Edition. Well, how lucky am I? Last Sunday I got the beautiful opportunity to meet some wonderful women. Most of them are also lovely bloggers. And one of them was Pip Lincolne. After almost a year of being cheered on by Pip since doing her Blog With Pip. Course it was great to finally meet her in person. She was just as lovely and engaging as I knew she would be, every bit a warm and sweet as her online persona. But whenever I have the chance to just wander...

One Small Life: Nine and a Half Hours
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/nine-and-half-hours.html
Sunday, April 20, 2014. Nine and a Half Hours. Nine and a half hours. That's how much freedom I got. Freedom from the voice inside my head telling me I couldn't, I shouldn't, I won't. Nine and a half amazing hours in which I thought it was actually possible. I believed it could be done. I knew the only thing stopping me from doing it was me and my lack of discipline and my self doubt. Which I could conquer, obviously. It's a bold feeling. And one that I wish I could have held onto for longer. I wish it w...

One Small Life: Be a Ninja Cardio-thoracic Surgeon Poet.
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/be-ninja-cardio-thoracic-surgeon-poet.html
Saturday, February 23, 2013. Be a Ninja Cardio-thoracic Surgeon Poet. Image: Cameron Russell Speaking at TED. Or be my boss. This is the truly awesome advice model Cameron Russell gives young girls in her recent TEDx talk. Don't be a model. Models "are not in charge of anything.Saying you want to be a model.is akin to saying you want to win the Powerball.it's out of your control, it's awesome and it's not a career path" she says. And when the beauty of different and the beauty of real are forced to the f...

One Small Life: Compassion. Start With Yourself. #1000Speak
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/compassion-start-with-yourself-1000speak.html
Thursday, February 19, 2015. Compassion. Start With Yourself. #1000Speak. When I was a kid I hated that saying that you had to love yourself in order to love anyone else. I don't know why, the idea of self love just never sat right with me. It seemed weird. Arrogant. Conceited. Or something. Deep down, I doubt it. They're all a ball of insecurity and self doubt, aren't they? Girls get down to the details. It's not so harmless at all. Because when someone says "You look nice. I like you hair. Your...What ...

One Small Life: Snail Mail
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/snail-mail.html
Thursday, March 19, 2015. So I have joined this rather gorgeous little Snail Mail group. Do you know about Snail Mail. It's like a movement, y'all. People are craving the beauty that can be contained in the simple art of a letter. The soul that's lacking from a text or an email or a social media account. And I love letters. I have a long history of letter writing that stopped dead when email came along. And I'm sad for the kids who grew up in a time that's never really known the magic of mail. And receiv...

One Small Life: Guest Post :: The Thoughts :: By Robyna May
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/guest-post-thoughts-by-robyna-may.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Guest Post : The Thoughts : By Robyna May. Now here is a post. When Ronbyna from The Mummy and The Minx. And Chasing His Sunshine. Sent me this Guest Post she wondered whether it was "a little dark and strange" for me to want to publish here. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is because of it's darkness, it's rawness, it's truth that I am so pleased to publish it here. And there is nothing strange about it. About questioning why things happen the way that they do.

One Small Life: Backwards {10 Inspiring Organisations Doing Great Things}
http://onesmalllifeblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/backwards-10-inspiring-organisations.html
Sunday, August 24, 2014. Backwards {10 Inspiring Organisations Doing Great Things}. Sometimes I think we are living backwards. Chasing after all the wrong things. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by everything I hear on the news. Mostly I feel helpless to do anything about anything. And that's a really crap feeling. But the thing I can't reconcile is the disconnect between the good I see in the people around me and the horrors that beleaguer humanity. But if this is what we all want for ourselves, if this is...
