Competitive couples are sadly common, happiness, Sex Academy, heartbreak, celebrate your loved one...
Love tunes alert: loving Calvin Harris's Feel So Close and also Wretch 32's new tune Don't Go - worth a listen. Another one is Charlie Simpson's Parachute - v sad. Not sure about Blink 132's first single in years Up All Night - loved them back in the day.
Yup, I have the weirdest, widest ranging tastes - I'd be happy in the Barbican listening to chamber music, happy rockin-out to Welsh rockers the Blackout and love a bit of dubstep. Why do peeps feel they have to stay loyal to one music genre??
Have had lots of e-mails about my competitive couples article I posted yesterday - lots of people are struggling with this issue! As I said, you have to stop seeing your partner as a rival - if you do it's probably insecurity that makes you feel that way... Time to boost your confidence - check out my articles on confidence in the "Powerful Living" section of my website.
Writing something about happiness [I'll let you know when it goes live - don't we all need to think more about building happiness into our lives and understanding unhappiness?!] and thinking about the topic for my online Sun newspaper Sex and Love Academy column that goes live again this Friday before wall-to-wall meetings and then finally grabbing drinks and dinner with an old pal that I haven't seen for ages.
Heartbreaking to see Amy Winehouse's parents so devastated in pictures from her funeral - such a horrible thing to lose a child. And as more stories emerge from Norway of the parents whose children have been torn away from them and you wonder how any of these parents will get through it.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: if you've lost someone you must find your own path mourning them. There's no set formula for the right or wrong way to mourn.
Personally it's been incredibly helpful when I've lost loved ones to celebrate their life in a way they would've appreciated. It has to mean something to you and it has to mean something to them - don't worry about what others think about the way you mourn for a loved one or the way you choose to celebrate their life!
Look after yourself, Pam X
