I’m blowing my own cornet today rather than the larger trumpet as I used to play the cornet (another useless fact for you, thank me later) and as I said cornets are smaller so it’s easier to blow your own cornet
I’m joining in with the Sleep is For The Weak Writing Workshop this week and I’m tackling prompt five.

You are at the core with several layers around you. The first few layers are jucy and tasty (fulfilling), however, the further out you get the thinner the layers become, the less tasty they are until eventually you come to the final layers and they aren’t tasty at all. You get rid of those layers.
That is pretty much your life (I’ve only had one tia maria honest!)
You are the centre of the onion. The first few layers …

Religion – there I said it, are you cowering at what is to come. Or maybe it’s just me, because as soon as I hear the ‘R’ word in my house I know my husband is gonna be on a rant, a 5 minute one if I’m lucky….much much longer if not.

Authentic Living ; Living a life that’s right for you and that you are comfortable with. Doing a job that you love (whether that be bringing up your children, pursuing a hobby as a business, or writing a book). Spending more time on hobbies and with family.
