Candle lit dinners, 12 red roses and maybe a surprise present if you’re really lucky. But I can’t help thinking it could be forcing people to be romantic, and when you force someone to do something, it’s not real and ultimately, that can be destructive.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m a sucker for romance. You do the tiniest thing to show me that you care and I’m a soppy mess. A love hungry hippy some might say, or a soppy romantic so and so would also be true.
The way I see it is I wanna be shown 364 days a year that my loved one loves me and then on Valentine’s Day…I wanna be shown again! Sometimes just listening is enough to show me, you love me.
My view on romance is simple. Everyday.
My view on Valentine’s Day is simple. It’s still a day isn’t it ;-)
Such a great scene, such a great feeling and oh so much talent!! I’ve watched it so many times and only just taken in that the entire thing is done without instruments – amazing!!!
I think I’ve got a bit of an obsession. It’s a healthy one so there’s not need to worry but I’m absolutely, totally addicted to watching flash mob youtube video’s. In fact I love them so much, I’ve even created a page on my website for all my favourite ones!!
Anyway, I do believe the weekend has officially started so I’m off to pack my bags for a trip to the countryside. Now where did I put my wellies?
Open road. Maybe a down pour or two, but still open road, spray and freedom.
There’s nothing quite like that feeling of driving and getting into the zone — you know, that driving trance where sometimes you can go for miles and miles and never know where you’ve been… that is until you get that sudden jolt and almost feel like you’ve just woken up! Actually yeah, what the fuck is that?!! I mean surely it’s not safe to sleep drive with your eyes open, but sooooo many of us do it, aaaaaaall the time lol
Policeman: Would you step out of the car please madam?
Driver: Certainly officer, what seems to be the problem?
Policeman: Well before we go any further madam, can I ask if you’ve had any alcohol this evening?
Driver:No officer
Policeman: And were you sleeping at all whilst driving today?
Driver: ???!!!!!!?
Anyway, back to my point.
I was sleep driving away, as you do when what d’ya know!! Who of all people, should come on the radio?!! Why Ms Turner of course, the Tina’s of all Turner’s! Well before I could say TINA!! I was singing away, the words rolling off my tongue like I was in the studio and the album was almost done.
“WHAT’S LOOOVE GOT TO DO, GOT TO DO WITH IT…..WHAT’S LOOOVE BUT A SECOND HAND EMOOOOTION”
So it got me thinking — what would be some other drive time classics that would get me howling like a dog in that way? So these are just a few I came up with:
More Than Words - Extreme
Fast Car – Tracy Chapman
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Fight For This Love - Cheryl Cole
Release Me - Agnes
The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics
The Way It Is – Bruce Hornsby & The Range
Sweet Child of Mine - Guns n Roses
Ordinary World – Duran Duran
Maneater – Hall & Oates
You’re Beautiful – James Blunt
All By Yourself - Celine Dion
Don’t Stop Believing - Journey
Miss Independant – Kelly Clarkson
What a Feeling – Irene Cara
Everybody – Backstreet Boys
Holding Out For a Hero – Bonnie Tyler
First Time, First Love – Robin Beck
Best of You – Foo Fighters
Chains – Tina Arena
Living On a Prayer – Bon Jovi
Hotel California - Eagles
More Than a Feeling – Boston
Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen
Oh my lordy, that has got to be the longest I have ever taken to write a list!!!!! I had to listen to every one!! “Releeeeeeeease Me!”
I hope they’ve made you smile, with a few fab memories thrown in for good measure ;-)
Soooo what are some of your favourite drive-time tracks, I would love to know? :-))))
Ah Tina…they don’t make hair like yours anymore.
Just as I stepped out my door, I hesitated before running back in to get one of my most prized possessions. Prized not so much because of what they are, but more because of what they mean, what they represent and then ultimately how they make me feel… and that is goooood.
Of course I’m talking about my sunnies, and of course they mean it’s sunny!!!
OK I have a question to ask.
Has anyone else got a million pairs of sunglasses, but only wears the same pair, two at a push? Why is that? Do we just lose our ability to know what we like once we’ve found a pair that we love? Surely that would mean we know exactly what we want!
Or maybe it’s just me. Ha ha it probably is!
I’m the only one who, as soon as she gets a comfy pair of faithful sunnies, loses all ability to find another pair that she likes just as much…hence poor old unwanted, yet new, sunnies, still on shelf hoping that today may be the day they get to go out and see the sun. It’s like not being chosen for the sports team, the poor little buggers, will just never get to play.
Back to the sun.
I want that one
I don’t know what it is about us British, but we sure as hell do get excited when the sun comes out. It makes me laugh and I’m definitely one of the worst/best for it! It’s like we’re living in darkness, all around us people are doomed to a life of clouds and misery then as soon as the sun comes out that’s it! The smiles are back, the skip in our step is there again and we even talk to strangers.
Yes, strangers, we talk to them!!
The worst part of it all is that it’s so common; we’ve even got a name for it :-( Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or winter depression, as it’s known to it’s friends.
Now for the science bit.
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), also known as winter depression or winter blues, is a mood disorder in which people who have normal mental health throughout most of the year experience depressive symptoms in the winter, or, less frequently, in the summer,[1] spring or autumn, repeatedly, year after year. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), SAD is not a unique mood disorder, but is “a specifier of major depression”.[2] (Source: Wikipedia)
I say, let’s get our sunnies out more often (only the pairs that we like of course), because even though the sun may not always be shining outside, it sure as hell can be shining inside!!
So even though Spring is most definitely trying to get to us, if you’re still struggling a bit with the winter blues, try doing some of these to help your day be that much brighter. Ah, that sounded like an advert didn’t it, but anyway, they will, so here they are:
Soak up the morning light - Get outside and go for a walk, or at least sit by a window in the morning. It’s all about the natural light, even if it’s cloudy, it’ll still help.
Regular sleeping habits – sometimes we sleep more in the winter, and this can even bring on the symptoms of SAD
No more caffeine – well I sure as hell know this one! Brief high followed by anxiety, mood swings and everything I talk about here. I thought I was going to try de-caff, but I’ve just gone back to my herbal teas. My favourites are fennel, green tea with peppermint and chamomile before bed.
Minimise alcohol – some peeps but it’s a depressant (remember the morning after?!)
Regular aerobic bouncy exercise – it lightens your mood so walking, jogging, cycling, and swimming. Like my walk in the sun yesterday, perfect, just perfect.
Regular schedule – keeps your body in sync, and it’s certainly one I need reminding of
Get yourself a light box – made with the specific purpose of treating SAD.
Sunny windows – do as much as you can to be near them. So work near them, always open curtains and blinds, arrange your day so your near them on the sunniest parts of the day!
Spend 30 minutes a day in the fresh air (weather permitting of course!)
St. John’s Wort – a herbal cure without any side affects
Go on holiday to a hot country – this doesn’t need any explanation!
Move to a hot country – of course this isn’t possible for everyone but if it is then why don’t you consider it. Surely if it makes you happier, it’s worth checking out hey.
“Chuck out your chintz” – as IKEA said, r at least your dark furnishings and get some light ones in! I’m an avid fan of white, white and more white, but you don’t have to be that extreme, but making your home ‘lighter’ will definitely help.
Manage your stress – be that dancing, singing, exercising, x-boxing or anything that you know you do that relaxes you
Get your vitamins, magnesium, vitamin B and foods that are high in natural serotonin – so beans, peas, avocado’s, banana’s, apricots, apples, dates, and turkey (which will reduce your carb cravings).
Right, that’s my healthy bit done for the day, take my advice, even doing a few things will make a difference :-) Ok I’m off to sell some sunnies. Anyone want any sunnies? One loving owner, no mileage on the clock and still in the box.
Back in the day when George was straight and ignorance was bliss, enjoy.
If you’d like to know even more about this then check out this great article I found.
Sometimes you just wanna keep things simple.
I got sent this video yesterday and for 3 minutes I just sat in silence watching it all and listening. I then pressed play again and sat watching and listening for another 3 minutes. I then posted it onto my Two Naked Blondes facebook page, and sat watching and listening for another 3 minutes. 
It was at this point that I thought ‘STOP WATCHING THIS GODDAMN VIDEO!!’ So I thought I’d share it with you instead.
Sometimes it really is that simple.
Enjoy :-)
P.s.
Even if you’ve seen it before just watch it again. Treat yourself for 3 minutes, it really is pretty spesh.
Do you ever wonder “What if?” What is this had happened, What if that hadn’t happened?
One of my favourite songs is Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys and I’ve listened to that song over and over again (yes it is most definitely one of the ones that I sing very loudly, much to the dismay of my neighbours), but when I listened to it today, it triggered off a memory I hadn’t thought about in donkeys’ years.
When I was 18 years old, so still at sixth form and still failing my A-levels (weeeell I mean there were so many other fun things to do at the time), I remember being offered work as a Nanny in New York, for the sister of one of my teachers.
Ah Mrs Douglas, I still think about her.
She was my head of year so we became very close after I spent a lot of my time being thrown out of class and sent to her office. What?!! I wasn’t nasty or mean I just got bored very easily so was possibly a little disruptive when I was in class :-/
Aaaaaanyway, so yeah, I had the chance to live in New York at 18 and I turned it down.
I’m not gonna lie. Even though I was a bit of a joker and very strong willed, I was also quite impressionable and I guess, secretly looking for a little security and direction. At the time, that came from my boyfriends parents. So I allowed myself to be persuaded out of it (no regret I might add and I take full responsibility). Instead I went to study business in one of the only Uni’s in the country that would take me! From wanting to be a nurse to studying business was a bit of a change but Christ, was it a good one.
Woohoo! Yay to the business skills oh and yay more to the drinking!!!
So I wonder what would have happened if I’d taken it? I know if Mum was still alive back then, I would’ve been gone and my bags would’ve been packed as soon as the words left Mrs Douglas’s mouth! That’s because doing something like that was passion, it was adventure. Going to Uni was strategic and thought out. If you know anything about me right now, you know which one I am naturally, but the great thing is, opening my eyes to business back then, laid the foundations to where I am now. Making a career out of my passion and living an adventure!
So back to my original question.
What if I had taken that Nanny job in New York when I was 18? How different would my life be right now and would I always have been doing Emergise regardless of what happened or didn’t happen, all those years ago?
Well I asked myself that question and it didn’t take me long to answer. For me I know that wherever I was in the world, whoever I was with, I know that ‘yes’, I would’ve been doing almost exactly the same as I’m doing now.
The funny thing is, if you’d asked me that question 5 years ago, I’m pretty sure I would’ve said, and hoped that answer would’ve been a ‘no’.
So I would love to know, just throwing it out there, was there ever a time in your life when you’ve thought ‘What if?’ And if there was, do you think it would’ve changed everything or nothing?
Great movie Sliding Doors. The writers of this movie seem to think she was always going to end up with her man, no matter what happened…I think it’s the same for me and my emergise.
Be afraid, be very afraid. What I’m about to tell you may cause you to gasp in a sudden breath of air, you may jump back in shock or simply sit open mouthed at the extremity and danger of what you have, right there in your own home. Hell, it may even be in your hand right now!
So today started off like any other wonderful Sunday. Fresh, bright (well kinda) and full of all the opportunities and joys of spring. So to celebrate this wonderful start to the day, I decided to treat myself to one of those wonderful soy coffee’s I had yesterday. Boy oh boy was yesterday’s coffee a delight.
I’d awoken this morning just raring to go. There was so much I wanted to create, to enjoy, to experience. So off I went, creating my wonderous Sunday.
It wasn’t until slightly later that I started to feel strange, a little off kilter, and not quite myself. I started to get tight chested, short of breath and a little bit down. It was at this time that I realised I needed a pick me up so off I popped to the kitchen to get myself another one of those delicious coffee’s.
This is a snapshot of what followed:
“Why won’t that work…I’ve got a headache and I don’t feel well…I need to get out but it’s starting to rain…It’s getting dark, but I don’t care…I’m cold and the wind is hurting my ears…what if there’s someone hiding in the bushes…I’m never going to get that finished, I’m already too late…how do I get back, I can’t remember the way…who’s that over there, what if they follow me…I’m back and still not happy, what’s wrong with me… he doesn’t understand me… I’m mad…I need a hug”
You’ll be pleased to know that after the drugs wore off, I realised my sudden mood swing, heart palpatations, headache and general miserableness was all down to the 2 cups of rather large coffee I’d had earlier!
Really? Are you serious? Can coffee really cause you that much damage and that quickly? Well apparently so, and it didn’t help that I’d done a full Detox just 3 weeks before. I’m telling you my friends, for the inexperienced of you out there, please, I repeat, please be careful. Caffeine is dangerous!
So once I got back to normal, and realised I’d been voluntarily (yet unknowingly) spiked by the ‘Eine’ of ‘Caff’, I did have a little chuckle that something tasting so good, could in fact, be so bad.
I can’t believe I’m actually saying this but tomorrow I’m going to go shopping and the first thing on my list, is a big fat jar of de-caffeinated coffee.
You take a deep breath, you close your eyes, you open your mouth and let the delight flood your senses, ooooor you have a Cadbury’s flake, apparently the chemicals released are exactly the same.
I started a thread today on my facebook page about coffee and ending up recommending someone to research women and chocolate. I’m not sure where this came from but now looking back, it may’ve had something to do with the 30 Ferrero Rocher moments yesterday or the Cabdurys Ripple moment, the day before. Oh and … I really could go on, but why is that, why does it mean so MUCH?!
So I decided to take my own advice and do a little research myself.
Did you know (said in a very high pitched questionable tone) that Phenylethylamine (PEA), being one of the natural chemicals our body produces in high levels when we feel in “love” (sexy) *deep breath* is actually found, also in high levels, in dun dun duuuun Chocolate!!
That’s right my friends, chocolate is chemically proven to make us feel like we’re in luurve (sexy) and it’s all about the PEA.
Apparently there’s other scientific ‘stuff’ that adds to this (PEA is kinda like an amphetamine so it increases your blood pressure and sugar levels like when you’re in love (sexy) – cool hey) but PEA is the biggest one, so the one I thought you should know about.
No bloody wonder we go so crazy when someone wants to take our chocolate away. It’s our drug, we need it, we want it, don’t touch it! … Or maybe that’s just me.
Once apon a time I used to do hypnosis so I hypnotised myself into not wanting anymore chocolate for a while. I’m not saying I was miserable, but I am saying I won’t do it again.
Life is for living, for enjoying and for loving. If you feel every now and then that you want a little more love (sexy) and you don’t have that special person around (or even if you do, there’s no harm in topping yourself up in other ways ha ha), just pop down to your local shop. I guarantee they’ll have just the thing for you and you won’t even have to listen to it snoring once you’ve finished.
(Possibly the best solution to feel the love as much as possible when you’ve already got a sexy lover is eat loads of chocolate when you’re not with them, then work off the calories when you are!)
What is it about sacrifices that we all find so goddam challenging?
It kinda gets harder when everything you’re sacrificing you want to do but you have to choose because it’s a matter of priority. That moany voice in your head starts telling you that what you’re doing without doesn’t mean anything to you, and that’s why you’re sacrificing it. Grrrrr I really hate that voice sometimes. I swear I have moments where my good voice is all croaky from having to fight its pretty little good corner with moany voice. I’d love to think my good and moany voices don’t argue, rather they sit down and discuss it like sensible human voices, but I’m not stupid, I know that’s not going to happen all the time – hence the croaky voices I guess.
Hmmm, if they’re in my head, do they have a voice?
I took half an hour to eat a single Ferrero Rocher today (I had to spell check ‘Ferrero Rocher’ as I don’t think I’ve ever written it before!). I bit it into 3 pieces and ate them gradually. What? You thought I had the whole thing in my mouth for 30 minutes? Don’t be silly, that would be plain stupid and I’m not even sure possible.
Moving on.
So Day 2 in the ‘I’m gonna blog every day this year’ mahem and I’m already late! Well I forgot I’d have to post it today and there was me thinking, as long as it’s out by the morning blah blah blah. Erm, I don’t think so Em, not unless you were about to stop time love. That’s me, not you. I can be so disillusional sometimes, but it’s all part of the ‘post a day’ learning process I guess. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger so by a cunning process of ellimination, I’ve taken that to mean I’m stronger… There are moments when I’m taken aback with my own wisdom and inspiration – that, just then, was not one of those moments.
Sometimes I feel like I want to do it every day then other times, days go past and I haven’t even thought about it. I get the moments, the pangs, the feelings but for some reason, I just don’t follow through. Well starting from today, that’s going to be me, no more. Woohoo!
I’ve made the decision to talk to you guys every day, starting from today. Yeah baby!
Weeeeeell, I mean I’m all over my facebook page, I even write what I’m having for dinner for crying out loud, (I’m just about to devour some fresh vegetables and tuna, lightly steamed with a lemon n olive oil dressing), so why can’t I share it on here as well?!
If I do lose you because my daily choice of words is not to your liking then I hope you’ve enjoyed our time together, and I really do wish you all the best…truly.
I think mushrooms are the devils sporn and I can’t get enough of my mango’s in the morning.
It’s Chinese New Year so I thought what the hell. On top of that, this is the year of the Rabbit, the same as when I was born, so hey, it must be good! Actually about that, what does that really mean? It sounds good but does it actually make any difference?
Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year to all you fantastic people out there.

See you tomorrow my gorgeous readers…
For my adventure to start with Essex is never a bad thing. A carpet dancefloor, cheap drinks and the token old geezer showing you moves – what more do you want from a night out Essex stylie – you just gotta love it!
I don’t know what I enjoyed more. Dancing and singing in the kitchen at 4am or the full day of Sex & The City complete with junk food galore and X Factor, The Final! Hangover? What hangover?!
Sometimes life’s simple pleasures really can create the most precious of moments. My Essex girls are just the best, always were and always will be.
Now I’m signing off because tomorrow it’s all about Maidenhead baby! A few more special people for me to spend some time with – crikey oh riley, when did life get to be this good?!!!
To be continued…
So all around me I have piles of stuff, boxes and bin bags. In my usual last minute style one may be a little confused if I told you I was moving house in 3 hours! (I’m seriously not even half packed!) You also may think, “why the hell are you writing a blog post now?!”. But to those of you who know me, you’ll know there’s no better time! Ha ha.
Anyway, it’s the end of an era and an amazing year living at the Girly Mansion. I will admit I got a little teary yesterday, but it’s all for a good cause.
To know what you’ve got and to know what you want enough to move you to tears… is very powerful.
It was in this garden that I sat and wrote my very first daily emergiser, now that’s a day for the history books hey!
Thank you to ALL of you who are reading this, for giving my writing and thoughts, your time and energy – I hope I can keep giving you everything you have come to know and love. I give you my word that I intend to anyway.
Thank you to the Girly mansion for keeping me safe and inspired for the last 12 months, without your amazing white walls, solid presence and unique energy, I wouldn’t have had the strength to take the next step (yes I am thanking a house but it really is a special house ha ha).
Thank you to my Girls because well, there are no words, so let’s just say thank you.
Thank you to all my business partners, clients, employers, employees, suppliers – past, present and future. I learnt a lot from every single one of you – some of you taught me who I wanted to be and some of you taught me who I don’t want to be. Nevertheless you all played an important role in my growth and happiness, so thank you.
Thank you to Haribo for your Milk shake sweets.
Thank you to all my friends and family for believing in me (I sound like I’m accepting a bloody Oscar!). You guys are EVERYTHING to me and the reason I am who I am.
Thank you chocolate, we will be together again, I promise you that.
Thank you World for being such a small place. For making it so easy for people to live life, be together, have fun and experience you.
And finally thank you to chill fm and Absolute80′s digital radio. Without you, my inspiration for singing like a strangled cat when I’m in the house alone, would’ve be so much more limited.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone and everything.
You can never be too grateful my beautiful emergised readers. I’m now off to finish my packing and prepare myself for the Next Chapter – could it be Spain, could it be London, could it be your spare room?! Tune in next time to find out.
You…are…gorgeous.
**By the way….Its all about writing blog posts from your iphone now don’t you know!
Well I thought I’d give it a go because I’ll be living out of a suitcase for the next month,and believe me, the amount of time it now takes my ancient laptop to fire up, I could’ve written a bloody book on this thing!
So let’s see anyway. Lord knows I have enough to write about. Hope you enjoyed my first one :-) xx **
I feel like I should start this blog with “Father, forgive me for I have sinned” or “Father, it’s been a while since my last confession” but of course you’re not my Father and I’m not really confessing, well I am, but I won’t – oh you get the idea.
Anyway about a week ago I was going to tell you about the condition I thought I was suffering from that was the opposite of ‘writers block’ – in case you’re tired, that’s ‘writers unblock’ – but then I changed my mind and thought it WAS writers block, just in disguise with a big pair of sun glasses and a moustache.
You see it’s a little like deciding what you want to eat at a restaurant and taking forever to choose because the menu is so great and extensive. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve too much choice or not enough – your problem is still the same – YOU’RE NOT CHOOSING!
Oh I don’t mean to shout but seriously having too many things to write about can most definitely be as frustrating as having nothing to write about – but the point is still the same – you’re not bloody writing!
Now for the twist…
The problem with all of this of course is they could in fact just be excuses for not writing and not choosing. I mean, of course I’m allowed to moan about shit every now and then but ultimately there comes a point when I have to stop moaning and start doing.
Right? Right.
Our life really is full of excuses, we’re surrounded by them. It’s too expensive, I don’t have the time, he’s too short. (read: personally I’ve dated many short men and love them (!), but I don’t tell me you haven’t heard girls say this – they have, they do and and yes I agree, it’s just soooo an excuse!).
Sorry, back to Reasons.
Now of course there are times when these are legitimate reasons and nothing can be done about it, but there are also an equal number of times, if not more, where they actually are just excuses, and they’re generally there because we’re afraid to do something. This is where I put both hands in the air and say YES, I DO THAT! but you knew that already hey – confirmation at the start of this post, I guess.
So how do we know if our reasons are legit or not?
Well the deeper answer is 99% of them aren’t. They’re excuses. They make us feel better for not taking responsibility for what we want – but to be honest I’m not really in the mood for going down that route today so instead… oh sod it, I’ve started so I’ll finish…
…The answer can be found in your gut. You know in your heart of hearts if what you’re saying is an excuse or genuinely the truth. You know when you’re trying to avoid doing something, when you’re afraid or when you’re just not ready. There are very few situations that are out of our control, but check out some of these synonyms and it may all become a little clearer…I’ve bolded the ones that I felt were more obviously connected to fear, or ‘excuse’ and so not legit.
Definition: reason, explanation
Synonyms: alibi, apology, cleanup, cop-out, cover story, cover*, coverup, defence, disguise, evasion, expedient, extenuation, fish story, grounds, jive, justification, makeshift, mitigation, plea, pretext, rationalization, regrets, routine, semblance, shift, song and dance, song*, stall, stopgap, story, substitute, subterfuge, trick*, vindication, whitewash, why and wherefore.
Hang on a second, I’ve actually bolded almost all of them! So does that mean that nearly all of these, in my opinion, are excuses? It sppears so my friends, it appears so.
…it appears that whether you call it a reason or a cop out – the point is, most of the time, it’s the same thing…
As human beings we’re very experienced at finding reasons why we WILL NOT do something instead of changing our focus and looking for reasons why we WILL do it, hence the reason I’m writing this blog now.
I made the decision to write something, my excuse of not knowing what to write no longer mattered, all that mattered was that I was doing it.
Right? Right.
“Phew, I’m glad that’s over with.
After a break, the first one back’s always the hardest – once you’ve got back on the bike though, it gets easier, you know that. The key is to keep going Em and not to have such a big break next time (well not that a few weeks is a big break but you know what I mean) – but then you also know that you can choose to not do something as well…the point is to own the decision and make it yours…I know you’re busy and you’ve got loads on, but like you’ve just told everyone, it’s an excuse! When you’re not writing, you’re not writing, it’s just as simple as that. The best thing is to say to yourself, I haven’t written for a while because I’ve chosen to do other things. See, feels better already doesn’t it!
It does and the crazy thing is I miss it so much, so this is my little reminder to make more time to do the things I love, one of which is writing…Ok great points Em, thanks again, I’m glad you’re here to kick my butt every now and then.
Hey no problem, you know where I am when you need me – what’s a conscience for anyway, if I can’t tell you the truth, who can?!!!
Yeah, good point.”
Remember to keep it real my darlings, because life’s too short to be that hard on yourself… ;-)
This is just unbelievable reading. This was a thread of comments taken today from my own personal facebook page which started off with someone spamming my wall to promote his own business. It starts with a conversation between the two of us where I’m asking him to operate more professionally next time and to kindly not spam my wall ever again.
Watch what happens next when some incredibly successful Internet Marketers including Cher Pearce, Shaqir Hussyin and Ketan Hirani join the conversation…you seriously have to read it to believe it.
For me this is a great example of how NOT to market your business, and indeed how NOT to operate in an MLM Network Marketing company or In Internet Marketing. Watch how this gentlemen (I say that tongue in cheek and you’ll know what I mean when you get to the disgusting sexist remark he makes about cobwebs!) very quickly shows his true colours that I sensed right from the very beginning.
When running your business and in life as a whole, listen to the experts and your mentors, have fun and always always always treat others with the respect they deserve. If you follow this very simple strategy not only will you reach a level of success far surpassing your wildest dreams, but as Cher Pearce says, you’ll build a great reputation that has the longevity to keep it all going.
Remember you may not be around forever but your reputation certainly will be.
Mike Powers - Are you a person who takes action and doesn’t just say “what if?” or talk about living the life they have imagined? If so, would you be willing to join two well-established companies for just $25 that will put you on the path to financial independence: GDI (Global Domains International), which is listed on the Inc. 50… and is similar to GoDaddy, and FTS (Freeway to Success), which provides deep discounts on dining and medical prescriptions, among other services? Once you enroll, all you have to do is get 5 serious, like-minded people to sign-up within 20 days and then you will receive $22,300 per month in residual income within 100 days from when you start, through a legal and ethical forced 5×5 matrix. Register for free by clicking on either of the two links below, then you will also get access to your free back office and receive more information before deciding to join.

Emma Fairclough – Hi Mike, Thanks for your comment and FB friendship. In future I would be really grateful if you would please NEVER SPAM MY WALL AGAIN!!
Your status update says you ‘can’t stand people who have no clue how to get to the point’, well similarly I ‘can’t stand people who spam my wall’ :-)
I wish you all the best, and the next time you would like someone’s help to promote your product, I suggest you find out who they are first and then ask them. Or at least if you’re going to post something on their wall, at least have the common courtesy of addressing it to that person. If you’d bothered to get to know me (or even read my profile) you would’ve found out I dedicate my life to helping people so if there was anything I could’ve done to help then I would have done. Thanks, Emma .
Mike Powers - Since you help people, you should consider this business opportunity which will help thousands of people. And no, it is not “spam.”
Emma Fairclough – Business opportunity or not Mike, if you have not asked me, as it’s on my wall, I consider it “spam”. I don’t mean to be rude Mike but if you would like to make the most of my FB friends, whether it’s to benefit them or not, even introducing yourself to us would have made me look at your business opportunity differently.
I’m simply saying why would I want to work with someone who came to my door with this opportunity, expecting to march right in to my house without even asking me first? If you want to help people with this business opportunity then please use the same respect online as you would offline. Thanks.
Cher Pearce – Yes Mike it is SPAM! and if you dont see it as that then i would seriously urge you to actually get some internet marketing education from someone somewhere, because whoever your upline is clearly doinest know how to market effectively!! you will not build a good reputation going about things like you are doing so.. you may make a fast buck from people who want to buy the dream from you, but there will be no longevity to your business, this isnt a witch hunt mike, im not trying to attck you here, but give you some genuine advise that i hope you will take heed on so that you can one day discover just how much potential your business could actually reach if you didnt p*ss people off on the way up.. and if by any chance you would like to question the defiintion of spam then the sentence below should help you. Good luck online!
Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it.
Mike Powers – Thank you, but I don’t take ADVICE from people who don’t know how to spell or rant on with non-sequiturs.
Emma Fairclough - And we have no more need to give it to you. No rant, no non-sequitur, just good old fashioned goodwill, etiquette and respect. Good luck Mike and good-bye.
Cher Pearce – How on earth is it non-sequitur? of course it follows.. Emma said, dont spam my wall, you said its not spam, I’m saying it IS spam. Think it follows pretty well actually.
You have a beta mentatlity Mike, so all I’m advising is that you find… and follow an ALPHA who knows what they are doing, and by that I mean marketing their business & not spamming their business, unfortunately those who think they know it all, tend not to self educate & don’t ever grow or prosper or achieve their maximum success..
anyway…I’m done.Mike Powers – I learned long ago not to listen to people of lesser intelligence, such as yourself
Cher Pearce – hahaha, typical beta.
Mike Powers – Ignorance is bliss, which explains your eternal state of giddiness
Cher Pearce - LOL read through these comments again.. And I think you’ll see there’s only one person here who has been ignorant mike.
Cher Pearce – hahaha youre links dont even work! this just gets funnier!!!
Mike Powers – Tell Sonny I said “Hi.”
Shaqir Hussyin - WTF? wat a douchebag….
Mike I Want TO BUY Your Business Man.
LMFAO!!…i honestly think you should optin to any of my sites and ‘buy my sh*t’ so you can really learn Internet Marketing.
(p.s you wouldn’t really call her ignorant if you knew how much money she makes HAHAHA)
Shaqir Hussyin - Emma – i shouldn’t be self promoting, but these ppl really should go buy my sh*t. LOL!! ;-)
Mike Powers - I am sure you guys are happy in your own small world
Ketan V. Hirani – Mike, WOW!!! You’re not helping yourself. It’s people like you that give a bad name to Network Marketing. I think a little “How to Win friends and Influence People” is in order….Don’t insult your prospects. I think that even someone o…f your HIGH intellect can grasp that concept right? I hope Em leaves this as HUMOUROUS reading for others. It’s hysterical that people think that they get a response from spamming one’s wall….Do you go to your neighbours houses and write on their walls about $22,000 a month? I mean seriously. I’ve earnt that kinda money in the industry, but I NEVER pitch that income to a stranger. less than 1% in ANY company EVER achieve those figures….
So whilst Em is perfectly capable of defending herself, I had to comment. Mike, you’re a class TWAT my friend….Go and ask your upline how to prospect better!
Shaqir Hussyin – HAHAH @Ketan. Perfectly Said.
and go buy Magnetic Sponsoring By Mike Dillard – so you can learn how to be an ‘Alpha’ looolCher Pearce – hahaha you hero Mike, realised you cant take the moral high ground anymore and that youve been wasting your time spamming peoples walls for days with links that dont work, so feel the only way out is to lower yourself to playground shenanigans… but yes I’ll pass on your message to sonny right after ive finished walking back from memphis
Mike Powers - You have the twat, Cher, and I am sure there are plenty of cobwebs down there
Ketan V. Hirani – Attention to detail Mike, I called you the twat. But seriously, do you honestly think, that the BEST way to grow your business is to insult people? How long have you been doing what you’re doing? I’m interested to know details….Because if you’re method is working, I’m willing to give it a go. Send me a link with the cheques from your last month, and then teach me, How to ABUSE friends and ALIENATE people….Shaqir Hussyin – LMAO! @Ketan this si soo hilarious. Mike seriously man -GET LOST!
Mike Powers – My biz is doing just fine and I only want to work with people who aren’t idiots. Thus far, you have all proven to be Kool-Aid drinking morons…
Cher Pearce – hahaha mike youre cracking me up! miaow… youre letting your guard down now and making it pretty clear that I got to you, probably because you see that there is a lot of sense in what I’m saying, and youre possibly also one of those guys, …who doesnt like to take such criticism from successful women… i think you can safely say that you have just lost yourself 2,798 prospects here on Emma’s friend list by reacting in such a way, which when you think about it kind of defeats the object of spamming your 404 error links on her wall in the first place wouldnt you say? lol
Shaqir Hussyin – ‘just fine’ and not $22,000 per month llike your saying to PITCH emma? haha
Shaqir Hussyin - … i think Emma is actually SOLD. She’ll be joining the third wing of the matrix and the right downline to earn infinity comissions and rollovers
LMAO!!
Ketan V. Hirani - Ok Mike….The ONLY person here that has proven to be an idiot, well, that would be, YOU! I wish my Macbook Screen was big enough that I could do a print screen on this. I’d LOVE to show it at one of my training seminars.
You know, I joined a new company about 6 weeks ago, and was prospected by MANY people on the SAME company. The person that sponsored us has made a KILLING so far. Bottom line Mike, I’m willing to show my FIRST months cheque….Are you? If not, then go back and learn how to market….
Toby Street - hhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha I LOVE this!!! This guy is amazing…. He’s one of the ones who pissed off his family and friends early on right? Then though he’d just keep trying it on complete strangers and see if that works… Man I love people who can’t communicate with ANY effect… at least not the affect they meant to have!
Emma Fairclough - OMG!!!! This is absolutely outstanding!!!!!! I am actually beyond words right now!!! ROFL!!! All I can say is Shaqir, promote away my darling, you are a true gentleman and I would be more than happy to help you help my FB friends with such a business opportunity.
Oh and just one thing I was wondering was how on earth Cher could say hi to Sonny anyway considering he died in 1998! Mind you, why let little things like this get in the way of a good retort hey Mike :-)
Shaqir Hussyin – hahaha HAHAHH thanks Emma-

Steve Moore – This is a joke right?
Surely Mike Powers isn’t a real person. This is just a social media guru’s attempt to show us everything not to do or say in a discussion / pitch on FB in one discussion. This will appear in a webinar later and we will all laugh with it, not at it.
If not, pinch me, seriously, pinch me.Ketan V. Hirani – @ Steve, PINCH, just to make sure, PINCH PINCH PINCH!!!

Shaqir Hussyin – HAHAH Yeah Me tooo – oh man this is soo FUNNY!! F**K! LOL!Cher Pearce – hahaha me too Ketan.. I only left the first comment to give Emma some support on the whole “spam subject” and give ol’ mike some advice, that I know if he listened to would actually help him!! but he just kept digging and digging, its as if someone had flicked the switch from spammy sales to self sabotage! hahaha
Emma Fairclough – And I just wanna thank you for all from the bottom of my heart. First of all for supporting the point I was making, secondly for giving some outstanding expert advice on the topic of Internet Marketing and Network Marketing and thirdly for being responsible for making me laugh so bloody hard I nearly wet myself…numerous times!! I think it’s a pretty reasonable conclusion to make when I say, this thread speaks for itself with whose business opportunity my FB friends should go for.Have an absolutely outstanding evening all of you, Mike included. It’s been a total and utter eye-opening and side-splitting pleasure :-))
Cher Pearce – Well said Emma!! Couldnt agree with you more! This has really brought so much laughter to my Monday evening!
This thread totally speaks for itself, on how NOT to market your business, and how important it is to remain professional if you want to maintain a postive image and brand online! also a great lesson in when to stop digging! Thanks everyone, youve made my night!! :)
Now shaqs.. tell me about this business.. did I read somewhere that you can make 100k in an hour?? ;) haha
DISCLAIMER
This is my own personal opinion and has nothing to do with the company that was mentioned, merely the opinions on one individuals approach to marketing that company. The unprofessional and disrespectful approach of ONE person marketing this business was the point to be highlighted, and to help others avoid using these tactics in their own business. Again, this is my opinion of one PERSON and not the company he is representing.
What do you want? And I mean, what do you really want?
A good friend of mine asked me this not so long ago. It stumped me, it made me think and this was what I told him:
I want to be able to make a difference in the world. I want to be able to make people smile, to give them hope and show them there’s more to life than the shit they have to deal with everyday. I want to show them that nothing is impossible, that they can handle everything, because we know the shit doesn’t stop, but we also know we can handle it. I want them to know how beautiful they are. I want to help them have more fun, more laughter and more ‘this totally rocked my world’ moments! That’s what i want to do for them.
What I want for myself is to be fit and healthy, to live and work on a beach from my laptop and swim in my garden everyday. I don’t need a big house, just a great view with lots of light and the sound of the ocean day and night. I want to have unlimited frequent flyer points with a bottomless account for worldwide adventures that will never run out!!
I want to be able to travel the world at the drop of a hat, and spend quality time with my worldly friends. I want to be able to buy my dad a Winnebago, my brother a car and just help out my family whenever I can. I want to be in love and I want to share all of this with someone, my man, my best friend and my red hot sexy lover.
But there was once a time when answering this question was impossible…
Now forgettting the red hot sexy lover bit (and if you can, you’re stronger than I am!) I wonder if you could ask yourself the same thing. What do you want and why do you do what you do? Are you doing it because you’re good at it or are you doing it because you love it? Are you doing it because you have to or are you doing it because everyone else wants you to?
Up until 9 years ago (holy shit was it really that long ago?!) I was in a career that paid me good money. I was in a career that meant I could go on great holidays, I could buy properties and I could do whatever I wanted, when I wanted.
But then some fucker burst my bubble and asked me what I wanted!! Excuse me??!! What do you mean what do I want, what’s my dream? What a crazy question! I scowled…I do what I do because I do what I do. You mean there’s more to it than that?! I’d never heard anything so crazy!! Why would you want to plan your life? I thought. Why would you want to think about any other moment apart from right now? I mused. Surely right now was all we had and surely right now was all that mattered.
…It’s funny what happens to your thinking when you lose a parent at 12, and it’s funny how suddenly ‘living’ takes on a whole new meaning. I don’t quite know why I decided I would die so young but decide it I did. So living every moment was all I had, or at least ‘living’ every moment was all I thought I had…
And that’s when it happened, that’s when my entire world turned upside down. That was when this relatively successful business woman suddenly realised that without having something to work towards, something to be passionate about then really, I mean really, what was the point? Not that my life until that point had been worth nothing. Of course not, I was an optimist remember, but it sure as hell meant that from that point on, my life would mean everything.
So I’m sure it will come as no surprise when I tell you within 2 months I’d left my job, within 2 months I’d left my boyfriend and within 3 months I’d left my home.
I think where I got the most clarity was in understanding who I was. Understanding what was important to me and understanding what was not. Leaving the rat race that first time was the courage I needed to keep doing it again and again until finally after the fourth time, I knew I would never return. That fourth time was 3 years ago now and I can honestly say I’ve never looked back.
I get to inspire people every day, I get to make people feel good every day and I get to do all that by being me, every day. I had a friend to ask me so as your friend, I ask you. What do you want and why do you do what you do?
Be who you are. Be all of who you are…
Go with me on this one…
It’s funny how such a simple question can mean so much to so many people. I mean for some of you this will mean getting down and dirty with your sexy partner of choice. Taking your bedroom (or outdoor) antics to another level, the level you like when spicing it up is on the sexy menu. Or of course the level you like to take it to night after night, it all depends on your personal preferences, I suppose.
For others this will mean nothing of the sort, in fact if anyone even dared to mention something like this to you, you would run a mile! Well what I’m talking about right now is actually none of the above, sorry to disappoint those of you who thought this was going somewhere, and for those of you hoping it wouldn’t, you can breathe again.
What I AM talking about is the importance and the benefits of cleaning the inside of your body as well as the
outside of your body. So overlooked and yet so bloody important!!
If you’re anything like me and you’ve spent your lifetime drowning your body in every toxin known to man, then believe me this is for you! When I’m talking about toxins I’m not just talking about the A listers like smoking, drinking and drugs. No no no my friends, I’m talking about those cheeky little bastards that disguise themselves as freshly baked bread, a scrumptiously gooey sticky toffee pudding, a fat steak, your favourite Starbucks and a Brie to die for. Otherwise known as caffeine, sugar and white flower, oh and anything deep fried – holy maloney!
Now as you’ll know by now (well I hope so anyway), I’m all about balance in life so I’m not for one moment suggesting that you cut out these beautiful little bastards completely. HELL NO!! But what I am suggesting is maybe you make them the exception instead of the rule, and of course my suggestions are merely that. I never was and never claim to be a health expert – just for the record and just to avoid anyone thinking they might courtify me!
It’s always good to mix things up, it adds to the ‘spice’ of your life, and of course if you want to, the spice of your bedroom life!! The main difference I suppose is if you stick to Missionary position then it’s not exactly going to kill you (although you partner may not agree!) but if you stick to a bad diet for the rest of your life, then that’s a different story.
Heart Disease, Colon Cancer, Osteoporosis, Stroke, Kidney Failure…
So for me I wanted to give my body a break, give my body a clean from the Inside Out. So under the guidance of my two beautiful friends Gareth and Jereon, and with the support of two more beautiful friends Robin and Donna to share the journey with me (the Detox Club), I embarked on my nine day Colon Cleanse Detox. There, I’ve said it! That’s right my friends, it’s all about your Colon!!
As part of my colon cleanse I had to go without food for 5 days, and after so many of you who knew I was doing this, wanted to know more about it, I decided to take you on this journey with me. It’s ok, there’s nothing gory in it I promise! So here are the first 2 video’s I’ve recorded, the first one is explaining exactly what I’m doing and the second one, is watching me do it! Ha Ha that sounds sooooo much worse than it actually is, I promise! Enjoy oh gorgeous ones…
Later that day…
P.s.
If you’re interested in doing this yourself then you can click on my friend Jeroen’s link here. And if you’d like to know more about what they do then you can join their new facebook page here – these guys are the business!
Oh for god’s sake, what’s WRONG with me??!!! I have one bad dose of food poisoning 2 days ago and I am, for want of better words, a miserable fuckin bastard ever since!! I mean really, had I NOT been totally successful with evicting the damn parasitic bacteria from my body???!!! Could it be that now, somehow, somewhere, there are a group of highly intelligent bacteria plotting to take over the Fairclough of Emma’s, by first claiming my mind and placing their miniscule yet destructive flag of negativity into my pre-frontal cortex? I mean really, WTF!!!!!
Now I know that I’m allowed to have days like these and that, in fact, they are kind of essential to this whole balanced life malarkey but HOLY BLOODY MALONEY, it kinda friggin sucks when you’re in it, don’t you think??!! But hey, who am I to complain, considering that most of the time I am, in fact, one of those incredibly annoying people who just seem to be happy all the time, soooooo I suppose I had it coming.
Now just on that, I do think it’s only right that I share something with you because I hate to think that a) People may get the wrong impression of me and think that I’m happy all the time (and we wouldn’t want that now would we?!!) b) People may use me being one of ‘those people’ as an excuse to not be one of ‘those people’ themselves and c) Well I just don’t have a c).
**Break to check facebook as received a notification on my iphone – you gotta love timely distractions – especially these kinds!**
OK stop the clock, I’m baaaack! And when I say back I mean back back as in like back to feeling great again! In fact in the last 5 minutes I’ve watched a video (thanks Anne for the Facebook interruption – great video, great timing) for 3 of them (it was 4 minutes but I only needed 3) and bounced off the walls for 2! THIS is what I’m talking about, the whole greatness of the moment and how everything can change in the blink of an eye, quite literally in seconds, if you’re open to it of course.
And I think that’s what I was gonna say before I got beautifully interrupted by the “You are beautiful” video (thanks again Anne). You have to be open to knowing that you don’t have to be miserable in life, you don’t need to be a victim. It’s not a jail sentence that someone has inflicted on you for being a naughty child.
It’s your choice; it’s all your choice.
Yeah of course we sometimes need a helping hand to get back to feeling great again, but isn’t that what friends are for and isn’t that totally in line with the saying that ‘what goes around, comes around”. Be the friend you would love to have.
As for me and how miserable I was when I started this blog (doesn’t 20 minutes fly when you’re having fun), I made a decision a few years ago that if I wanted to feel miserable, angry or anything else negative then I was actually gonna let myself do just that. That’s because, as a general rule, I never used to allow myself to wallow in self pity AT ALL. I was so skilled at turning everything around that it came so naturally to me and most things in life were a breeze (on the surface anyway and in fact I was totally oblivious to what was really happening – but that’s another story). But too much of anything will eventually end right? WRONG! But actually in this and my case, yes.
If, like me, you’ve had a few drama’s in your life, some of which you’ve not totally made peace with, then yes, eventually that bubble will burst. Reality will come round and smack you in the face like a big fuckin wet fish and believe me, if you pull the elastic band hard enough one way, when you eventually let it go, it’s gonna come right back your way with one hellova clout!!
Hence the anti-depressants’ scenario 5 years ago (Oh you don’t know about that? Well I’ll save that for another day too lol) – although even then, that was exactly the wakeup call I needed! After only 2 weeks I stopped taking the ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ dependant drug and used my old trusty friends, positivity and faith (not in a religious way, more in a ‘knowing it’ll all work out’ kinda way), to get myself back on track.
But you see it was all a decision for me back then too, and it was a decision and an opportunity that I had to be open to.
So if you’re feeling down, low or miserable then know that first of all it doesn’t have to last. You’ll have better days and worse days and that’s a fact of life. But the great thing is, if you’re open to it, and if you decide you want to, all of this can just get better and better. Your better days become outstanding and your bad days become bearable and short-lived.
You have 2 things you need to do right now, the FIRST one is to watch this video at least until you start to believe what they’re saying and you have a smile creeping across your face. The SECOND thing you need to do is sign up for my daily emergiser (http://www.emergise.co.uk/daily-emergiser or just fill in the box on the top right hand corner of this page) and no, this isn’t a pitch or anything like that, the thing’s free for god’s sake!! I just know how much people enjoy it, how it motivates them and I know how much love n fun I write them with, so I’m pretty sure that comes across – if you disagree then simply unsubscribe yourself – no-one’s forcing you to receive them!! Only kidding!!! …NO.. actually really do … I’m KIDDING!!!
You’re beautiful…and so are you.
Daily emergiser:
“JUST for today, I want you to imagine that everyone you make eye contact with thinks you’re hot! They will never tell you or admit it, but they do, so bask in it!

Does my bum look big in this? You could say that, so wear something different!
Are these trousers the right fit for me? Well no not really, they’re too baggy, you need something more fitting to show off your sexy legs!
Is this top too dark for me? Erm hell yeah! You’ve got such ‘come to bed eyes’ you need to wear a colour that totally shows them off!
daily emergiser:
Ah there are! What are you doing wearing those clothes, when you know there’s so many more beautiful things you could be wearing?
I still can’t understand why people wear clothes in life that are too big or too small, totally the wrong colour and most definitely make your bum look big when you’ve got an ass to die for! You’re the perfect mannequin so find clothes that show you off because we all know how incredible you feel when you KNOW you look good.
Your Outfit / Outlook in life, will turn heads today.
Note:
Today’s daily emergiser comes from so many of us not doing what we want to do in life, not following our passion and not being true to ourselves. Being in job’s we hate, feeling trapped in relationships and not following our dream to be happy for fear that the real dream livers are everyone else and not us!
I say, if you’ve got a great ass then show it off, if you look like Brad Pitt then for gods sake take your top off! If you want to have sex with numbers then get creative with finance, if you can talk to the animals then be a modern day Dr Dolittle! Do what you love, play to your strengths and start making your dream life a reality!!! Because remember…to me and the rest of the world, YOU are everyone else.

Welcome to 'emergise' and my blog, 'secret diary of a good girl'. Let me introduce myself, my name is Emma Fairclough and I am a good girl. I am a good girl with a twist.
