How’s your mojo today? I’m asking because there’s still a lot of weirdness in the world right now. News reports saying that life is returning to normal, whilst every day we’re hearing more stories about things that are still going wrong. (It’s why I include things like “What went right this week‘ in my weekly …
How do you know when something’s not quite right? You might say to me “Delphi, I just get a feeling” and I would accept that. But you might also worry, about whether you can trust it.

According to this article, the pandemic has unleashed the “inner critic” in many of us. As the article explains, lockdown and the start of “unlockdown” has felt like a rollercoaster for some and we are …
What’s your strategy for this week? I ask because we’re hearing about the importance of having one on a daily basis. As the lockdown continues, we are watching other nations prepare to bring some of their restrictions to an end. Eyes nervously turn to other countries to see how they’re coping; what works and what doesn’t. …
It’s a Bank Holiday Monday here in the U.K. and we’re in week four of a lockdown due to COVID-19. It’s natural at times like this to find ourselves immersed in our thoughts, especially when our every day routine is not what it used to be. What’s your main train of thought about right now? …
