“What’s next?” is probably the most frequently asked question. We are always on the go and in action.
There is no free time in our overbooked schedules any more. Time to look out of the window, to daydream, or even hug our children…even when they’re about to go to school.
We are stuck on the first letter of the alphabet. A for action! Followed by B for business, C for chores, D for development, E for errands, F for forty winks…25 letters until we finally reach Z for zen.
Our inner journey makes us work through our own alphabet book. Some have reached M for meditation or S for sorry.
Paolo Coelho said: “in life, everything is a sign”. What about V for visible, so you can see the signs all around you?

The Valley of Aosta inspires me. A stunning view of the Alps which tower majestically all round it.
Narrow buildings in pretty colours, each with a wrought-iron balcony. Swiss-style cleanliness is the order of the day. The cracks in the pavement are spotless, not a single leaf, no dog poo or cigarette butts lying around.
Shops worthy of a major city and locally owned businesses share the pedestrianised street. Everything I love all within a few square metres.
So here I am, I sit in a café with a good coffee, look around, breathe in the atmosphere and take out my notebook to start writing.
What about you? What inspires you? A view of the mountains, of the sea or of a hilltop village? What do you do when you something inspires you?
-Personally, I write something for you.
