Great expectations!
I just wanted to say how interesting
I found ‘The Power Of Anticipation’
in issue 34. It shed some light
on something that I had often
wondered about; why is it that
I much prefer to watch a movie after
previously reading the book it was
based on? The answer seems to be
anticipation; of the events that are
going to happen in the movie, and
at meeting the characters. It brings
out a much more intense enjoyment
and increases the excitement. There
is also a sense of satisfaction and
contentment when I recognise the
characters and scenes, and allow
myself a little internal debate on
how accurate the movie is and
which was better... the book or the
film. Absolute bliss!
Sue Watt, via emailLife after loss
I really enjoyed and connected with
the article ‘Embracing the Gift of
Creativity’ by Kiran Sidhu in your
New Year issue. I have suffered a lot
of loss recently and was feeling
very empty and bereft. Kiran’s
restoration of ‘The Long Barn’ and
her idea that after loss we are
ourselves a restoration project
really gave me food for thought.
Instead of seeing myself as empty
and sad, I now think of myself asa restoration project that I can
lovingly create something beautiful
out of. Thank you so much for the
fresh perspective, the hope and the
motivation this article has given me.
Wendy Seddon, via emailDigital detox
I loved your online article about
digital detox – I’ve started leaving
my phone on the landing an hour
before I want to go to sleep and
picking it up again in the morning.
I’m getting more sleep and better
quality too. Recently, for the first
time, I didn’t even think of my phone
until I passed it on my way
downstairs, already showered and
dressed. It felt tough initially, but
I look forward to the break now.
