About Me

I'm Paula and for quite some time I've been desperately trying to make my life more fun and exciting (as you can read from my early posts). I've also been going through a mid-life crisis which at times has left me feeling that my life is passing me by and fearing that I'll soon find myself on my death bed (dying of boredom, possibly!), regretting that I didn't make a better use of my life.

 I'd like to think that the worst is behind me now as I've started taking steps towards achieving an exciting and fulfilling life that is full of fun and purpose. What I'm really doing is working towards achieving my dreams. I'm writing a novel, which is something I've wanted to do for nearly as long as I can remember, and I'm also starting a journey as a life coach, having realised that not only am I passionate about reaching my own dreams, I'm also passionate about everyone else achieving their dreams as well. I'm delighted to say that already my life seems much more fun and exciting than it was when I wasn't taking much action.

 I believe that we have our dreams for a reason, the reason being that by reaching our dreams we'll be living our best possible lives and will learn what we came here to learn in this lifetime, and I want to encourage everyone to go after their dreams and believe that it's possible to make them come true.

 I hope you join me on this journey and make reaching your dreams, and therefore making your life more exciting, your focus, too.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Getting started

It’s been far too long since my first post. How did this happen? Well, I sort of panicked, thinking ‘oh no, now the blog is live, I’m going to have to do something!’ and then of course froze and did nothing. Hence a little cooling down period. Or should I say thawing period, allowing myself to return to a temperature in which I can function. I do have an excuse of being unwell over the last few days so I couldn’t have gone out last weekend anyway, but that’s just really lame. I shouldn’t even have mentioned it. I’m happy to report though that immediately after posting my first blog post, I seemed to develop an ‘excitement awareness’ and started coming up with ideas of what to do and even started a list. An idea of a holiday I’ve been wanting to go on for a few years now sprang to mind and I started looking into it. In fact, booking it was going be my task for the first week. What happened? My recurring health problems held me back. But then another thought came to mind. What if I use...

Making 2014 count

Christmas tree in Covent Garden, London You may have noticed the lack of images of Christmas trees here (see my previous post) . I did take some, they just never made it here until today (I’m putting one up now to show that I really took some). Stress took over in December. Work was very busy and come evening all I wanted to do was to forget about doing anything unpleasant and just do what I fancied. And it wasn't blogging. At first I was stressing about not producing any content for my blog and then I started questioning whether the whole blog was a very good idea after all. Yes, over the holidays I was seriously considering deleting this blog. My two blog posts that I’d crafted with care and excitement and fear, too. No more. Then I wouldn’t need to stress about blogging. But then the year changed and I was setting goals for the new year and came across the question of the blog; yes or no? It would’ve been much easier to decide ‘no’ but somehow I couldn’t let myself do that...

Bucket loads of fun

I'm taking my list of things to do by the end of the summer to a whole new level. I'm going to create a bucket list. You know, things you want to do before you die. In a way not a very cheerful thought but at the same time quite elating, I find. I have a list of goals I want to achieve somewhere and even though I'm sure it's titled 'Things I want to be/do/have before I die', it just doesn't quite have the same ring to it as a bucket list does. There's an urgency attached to 'bucket list' that appeals to me right now. Something that I hope will keep it from getting buried under a pile of invoices, bank statements, to do lists etc. I'm very aware that the reason I'm thinking about writing my bucket list is because of the mid-life crisis I'm going through and the slightly panicked thoughts I'm having at times, such as 'there's not much time left anymore while I'm still more or less able' which is sort of ridiculous ...
