Mysocial’s Good Reads and Recipes
MYsocial has been Zooming through 2020 as a place where our members have found community and mutual support, learned, laughed, and shared our knowledge of life. Turns out that’s a subject where we all have a lot to offer each other, being old enough to know a thing or three. This wee booklet gives some…
2020 – One From The Heart
When it began, I thought of 2020 as a year of seeing clearly (20-20 vision). Well it was every bit of that. We saw more clearly how challenging and dangerous life can be, and how selfishness on all levels from behaviour to government doesn’t work, and how loving our neighbours as ourselves makes all the…
MYsocial – Together – all of us
We have a Zoom group every Wednesday at 3:30. We call it ‘Together’. We talk about life. Turns out that’s a subject where we have a lot to offer each other, being old enough to know a thing or three. As we got on enjoying the big family this has become, we started thinking about…
Ageing Strong Together – join in and see what you think

ZEN, NEVER AGEING, STAR WARS and BEING a ONE TRICK PONY
Recycle my last blog? Seriously? Yes, well you need to read it to appreciate this one, and it is a wonderfully short and easy read. It’s about the ancient Zen of the Original Face and how easy, obvious and practical it is as “a meditation that works with bingo, football, making love, shopping, dying, partying……
ZEN MEDITATION made incredibly simple and useful
Hui Neng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen (637-712), said to See what at this very moment your own face looks like, the face you had before you were born. Zen Master Daito Kokushi (1281-1337) said that all the 1700 koans of Zen are simply pointers to our Original and Featureless Face. I tell you about…
Age Strong
“Older people are our underdeveloped renewable natural resource.”- Professor Peter J Whitehouse “We’re all on this amazing ride together, younger people are just older people in training, and ageing is an elite sport. Let’s get good at it.” – Paul Springer Age UK Lambeth has a bit of a plan. The idea is that we…
Age Strong Town Meetings
I held one of our great “Together” MYsocial Zoom discussions on this subject, and managed to do a really bad job of it. It’s probably going to be good and important – my mistake was not being clear about it. So, trying to do better and in case you’re interested in joining us: Age UK…
