Fancy some life coaching on the cheap? Read on for the pearls of wisdom handed on to me by my rescued dog, Sean. I didn’t think I needed much help with running my life – least of all from a two-year-old greyhound who was considered too rubbish to race; a dog whose only experience of life was the boredom of long hours spent alone in a bare kennel, with occasional minutes of running around in circles; a dog who didn’t even know his own name. How wrong I was...It was life-changing. My perspective on swans, cats, and other aliens has completely changed, as has my view of the present tense (and the importance of it). Sean and I have not known each other very long – but so far, it’s been a blast.

About the Author:

Angela loves all sorts of things, business, music, general knowledge, literature (obviously), cycling and her retired greyhound, Sean. Everyone needs a sidekick. She decided on a greyhound because one always ends up looking like one's dog - and he has a fast metabolism and amazing thighs. He also doesn't like the cold, getting his feet wet, or spending prolonged periods not wrapped in a blanket. Being thoroughly modern, she has more than one degree (and therefore more than one student debt - hurrah!) and more than one career; starting off with a degree in anthropology, she then worked in an art gallery, trained as a journalist, and retrained as a nurse. Nursing now takes up less time, Angela spends most of her working hours marketing Fox Cycling. But the journalism thing never quite left, and so she has now relapsed into writing. It's like a disease. Or a filthy habit. Let's shrug, and raise a quizzical eyebrow at the world. Come on, it'll be a lark.
