Let's just say I share some history with 'Sarah'!
Despite her fascination with the spiritual Sarah was frustrated that somehow she never seemed to quite 'get it'. She's tried aura reading, astral projection, telepathy and spiritualism albeit half-heartedly. She would read the book; talk to the expert; watch the video but somehow get distracted when supposedly doing the exercises. Simple useful techniques like relaxation strategies, yoga and positive visualisation made perfect sense to Sarah but somehow she never actually did them. She was, however, quick to recommend such ideas to friends and customers. She knew she lacked what her mother called 'stickability'. Her ambitions to develop psychically languished alongside the unfinished jigsaws, tapestries and painting-by-number projects of her youth. She wouldn't even think of the bread maker, steamer, electric wok, exercise bike and decoupage kit - follies of more recent times hidden safely in the attic.
(I use that one for wide-eyed innocence)
