Mind over Meta

We’re now near the end of 2017 and I find this time of year brings out the reflective side of me. I think New Year often causes people to look back and see where they’ve come from.

I’ve been blogging for little over a year now and I thought it’d be interesting to reflect on my top ten posts of 2017 based on views!

1. Book Review: Buddha’s Brain

It seems that a lot of you enjoy a good book review and were interested in finding out how meditation and mindfulness can impact the brain. I keep meaning to do more book reviews so this is something for me to keep in mind for 2018 🙂

2. How To Deal With Toxic People

We’ve probably all come across someone who is consistently negative and drains our energy. This post outlined some tips on how to deal with such people.

The Richness of a Simple Life

Are you ready for the 2018 Kindness Practice? It was formerly called The Kindness Challenge because I hosted it here, and bloggers love a good blogging challenge! This year I’m hosting it via email only. When I created the challenge, I intended it to be a practice that impacted lives in a positive way. I had no idea of just how powerful it would be. Participants were so dedicated to the weekly prompts and saw some amazing shifts in their lives!

Making a Yule Log that’s to die for!

The Yule log was originally a huge (and it must have been huge) log that was selected to burn in a house over the Christmas period. The tradition is that once this log was lit it must not go out until burned up. These days the Yule log is smaller and more edible. If you're...

Yummy Christmas Pie

Help Geronimo Reads reach 300 followers before the end of the year! Simon ☺️

I’ve never read a Katie McGarry book but I’ve heard such amazing things about them! I’m very interested in reading one and I think SAY YOU’LL REMEMBER ME will be the perfect book to start.

All of those gorgeous purples and the image of the ferrish wheel. I’m in love with it.

Manic Monday Strikes Back!

Monday has struck back at Sunday and here we are again. I've been a bit quiet lately and for the time being that's likely to continue. There's not much of a reason for this just damn busy and in a funny kind of mood, maybe it's because I can't get much done or maybe it's...
