This blog is about the search for happiness in the moment and authentic connection with heart and soul.
My name is Karen. I live in Kent – the garden of England. In this blog I write about creativity, happiness and spirituality. I’m interested in why so many of us feel as though we’re ‘not good enough’ and why we put ourselves under so much pressure to ‘achieve’.
I like writing, art, music, playing guitar, running, walking, sailing, meditation, overtone chanting, rebirthing, floatation, wild swimming and dancing. I also belong to a public speaking group (because it’s a big fear).
I have been employed in various sectors of the general insurance industry for twenty years – my last position being Corporate Business Development Manager for a software house. I spent a lot of time on the road. But the more I earned, the more I felt that the job was taking over my life and that my soul was being eroded. I began saving so that I could take some time out and one day I resigned and walked away. I thought I’d take a year’s career break to go on an inner journey.
That was over two years ago. During this period I have done a lot of the things I’ve always wanted to do but have never had time for. I’ve also had the opportunity to do nothing if I like. I have experienced many times of uncertainty but also moments of bliss and glimpses of what it is to see.
