Happy Easter!
Do you think of Easter as a family time, a time of religious significance, good for spring cleaning, an opportunity to catch up on work, a time to go on holiday, a few days to do DIY or sorting out the garden?
A lot of people take time off work, over Easter, or they have enforced holiday time due to their organisations being closed. Some people are working throughout the whole of Easter, just as if it were another regular, or shift pattern, weekend. Some people would never dream of working over Easter for reasons given in the paragraph above. Some people don’t have a lot of choice.

The Whitehouse is holding an Easter Egg Hunt. Perhaps it’s a little different from the ones in suburban Nottingham?
I remember time spent with cousins during childhood, running around their garden looking for Easter eggs, hidden by an auntie, who was more excited than we were.
A friend sent me an email over the weekend, asking me to search for an egg that she had hidden somewhere in the world. Her clue was very full, and so it was easy-peasy. Still, a lot of fun, though.
Here is the site that she directed me to to find my hidden Easter egg.

Hide an egg for someone, send them an email to ask them to look for it.
You can give them a clue. Once they begin to look, if there are other eggs in the area, it will say, “this is not your egg” until they come across the egg that has been hidden for them.
The site is an airline company, and they are doing an Easter promotion.
Your recipient can also win fights with Lufthansa, if your egg is a winner.

Welcome to my blog.
This is the first page of your journey into my life.
Keep on Learning
I have never felt as alive as I do now.
No, it’s not just because I have survived 40 - its more to do with keeping my brain active by continually going on training courses.
I was so impressed with myself at gaining a Masters degree as a mature student. I realised that I could study, understand, and, learn things. It felt great!
I didnt want to give up the good feelings, so I enrolled on another course, which began later in the same year as my graduation ceremony.
I trained to be a practitioner of NLP with Frank Daniels Associates. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy the material, but I also met some great people, with whom I am still in touch.
Straight after that, I enrolled for the ‘Coach Practitioner, NLP’ - also with Frank. And, after that, I was tempted, and succumbed to that temptation, of ‘Master Practitioner, NLP’
Since then I have done 6 more courses, and I loved every one of them. I didn’t love every moment, however, that’s something else! There are some times, I find, during your learning journey, when tussling with a concept, or problem, that, well, quite frankly, your brain hurts. Not to mention when you want to watch ‘Dancing on Ice’ but your paper has to be completed by the next day.
Overall, though, I can honestly say that learning is a very enjoyable, worthwhile experience.
This Friday I start an ILM, NVQ level 3 course on ‘First Line Management’ and I am looking forward to the next few weeks and months. Who will I meet, I wonder? What will we read, discuss, learn? In what ways will I be challenged? How will my ways of looking at things be questioned? What will I discover? How will I be better than I was before? What doors will become open to me?
Being cognitively challenged and stretched stimulates the brain. And this stimulation has rippled through my entire life-energy, and made me more awake, energetic, vital, (and even vibrating) than I was before I got the learning bug.
I am so convinced on the benefits of lifelong learning that I decided to become a trainer myself.
Do consider a life of learning - If, for nothing else but to access great feelings. I recommend it!
