Papa

The BIG 4-0

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Last week was my 40th birthday. Just before my birthday, I’d had some good news about my vasculitis. My birthday celebrations were low-key this year, mum, papa and I went out for a meal, followed by unicorn cake.

I’m going to be honest, I never thought I’d make it to the BIG 4-0. But I am pleased that I have. I am as healthy as I can be (given my type 1 diabetes and vasculitis) and the happiest I have ever been.

In April (2026) I published my latest book FINDING YOUR HAPPINESS, which covers:

  • My Journey to Happiness.
  • The Secret to Happiness.
  • Understanding You.
  • Where You Are Right Now.
  • Planning For Happiness.
  • Taking Action For Happiness.
  • Maintaining Happiness.
  • Dealing with Challenges to Happiness.
  • Your Happy Life.

My hope is that FINDING YOUR HAPPINESS leads readers to transform their lives, giving readers the knowledge and skills to lead a life filled with happiness and joy. The 167 page, full-colour book will take an average reader 5.5-7.5 hours to read.

Write soon,

Antony

A New Old Car

/ / Leave a Comment
Reading Time: < 1 minute

Up until recently I’ve had a Ford Fiesta on PCP. I was coming to the end of my PCP deal. It was time to either buy the car or return it and get another. So I went into the car dealership to see what was available and got a shock.

Car prices, have really rocketed up. As have PCP deals. The car dealership wanted an extra £140 a month for my next car. We are already in a cost of living crisis, I simply couldn’t afford another new car, either to buy one or on PCP. So I thanked them for their time and had to rethink what I was going to do.

I decided to get a secondhand car, a cheap run around with a small loan. I searched and searched for a car in my price range. Various garages told me the same story: Lots of other people are doing the same thing. The cars in my price range were being sold the same day they arrived at the car sales garages.

Luckily, Papa had spotted this (photo left) mini at a local garage and it was in my price range. I took it for a test drive and decided to purchase it. So here we are ladies, gentlemen and others, my new old car. I’ve named him Nathan.

Blog soon,

Antony

International Mens Day – Some Inspirational Men In My Life

/ / Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 2 minutesToday is:

International-Mens-Day-Logo-2019

I have a number of men in my life, in fact they are some of my favourite human beings. They inspire me with their kindness, compassion and wicked sense of humor. These men include:

Papa who is a wonderful listener and has a very dry sense of humor.

Colin from the family that has unofficially adopted me. Colin is fatherly and wise; he is the father that I wish I’d had growing up.

My brother Neil inspires me with his emotional resilience and loyalty. I will always remember his face of absolute child-like joy when jumping in a bin at mum’s to compress the rubbish.

My brother Shaun for always taking life in his stride and never being afraid to make changes to make his life. One massive change he made led to more happiness all round and it no doubt took a lot of courage to face the truth: that neither of them were happy.

My friend Simon inspires me with his ideas, his unique perspective on life and the faith he has in me.

I always feel like the younger soul with these men. But one that they will always nurture and protect.

Antony
