Yesterday I was asked to do some S.E.O work for a web site focusing solely on social and emotional learning.

And I was a tad thrown by the subject matter. When I start a project like this, I look around for other keyword terms, I digest the sites content, and generally make myself familiar with the subject-matter.

I am forty one now, and this sort of thing just discussed when I was growing up (man, I sound so old), but I am so glad it is now. Growing up in London was pretty difficult, and there were a lot of single-parent families emerging from out of nowhere it would seem.

My parents got divorced when I was fourteen, and I am so pleased that they did. Why should they be sad just to make our lives seemingly improved.

Loads of people tell me that they have stayed together for the sake of their children, and this makes my blood boil. What! Do you not have a life to live as well? Is your happiness finished because you have a child with someone you no longer want to be with?

Kids are resilient, and strong, and can pick up on these things anyway, so why not sit down and talk to them. You could get a pleasant surprise, or you might not, but one thing is for sure…you’ll never know until you sort it out.

Life in general is too short, procrastination is an amazing device, and one that can suck time & life away from you without you even noticing. Don’t let it.

Searching for keywords on this site, is what made me start thinking about these things, search terms like pshe

Interesting stuff, and food for thought I guess, but then the web is supposed to be about thr passing of information, and not buying health supplements and small blue pills.

Or is that just my inbox?
