Further thoughts on my father’s passing

By Iain March 27, 2025ReflectionsNo Comments

So, my Dad died. As I said in the other post, we weren't close by any stretch of the imagination, the last time I saw him in person was in maybe 1997 or 1998 when I was in my early twenties, the last time I spoke to him on the phone was in 2019 on Jake's birthday (I didn't actually…

James Drysdale Stewart

By Iain February 17, 2025ReflectionsNo Comments

So, on the 14th of February, I received the news that my father had passed away. Now, before I start, please be aware that although he was my father, we were not close. He left our family when my brother and I were very young, and while we did go and stay with him and his new wife for a…

Sunday Service: Half-term

By Iain February 27, 2022Creativity, Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

So this last week was half term for my lovely little boy, which meant that there was not as much progress on the goals as usual. It was more of a "thinking" week rather than a "doing" week. I brought along my planners and notebooks when I took Jake to soft play, reviewed some ideas and solidified some others. Once…

L3CiCS You as a Counsellor Assignment

By Iain June 28, 2020Qualifications courseworkNo Comments

I am training to become a counsellor because I want to help people. Throughout my life I have struggled with a lot of various types of mental health problems, such as depression, addiction and severe anxiety. I was borderline narcissistic and I suffered from delusions of grandeur, as well as Golden-Child syndrome. I thought I deserved more, but I expected…

What does it for me?

The fear of turning out like my dad.— Iain Douglas Stewart 😙👌 (@Iain_D_Stewart) August 12, 2018 Inspired by this tweet, and powered by a love of self-discovery, I'm going to answer this question honestly and fully, to the best of my ability. It took me a while to get around to it, but as you can see, what fuels me…

2013 in review

By Iain September 3, 2018Creativity, Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

I'm just going back and porting my blog posts from 2013 over and man, this was a funny year. Existential panic had set in. I knew I wanted to do something with my life, but I was throwing darts into the mist trying to find what that something was. In the previous year, app development didn't stick, and drawing pictures…

Friday update 8/8/14

By Iain August 8, 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I'm a bit later than usual today due to visiting my Mum, David, Jasmine and Otis in Southampton today. Had a great time on the way over brainstorming various things including: content for my personal YouTube channel, how to work the Twitter machine, and if I can somehow combine them all with the posts here to pretty much automate the…

Friday update 25/7/14

By Iain July 25, 2014Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

This week has gone very fast. That Asda have decided to move around the Music and Video department didn't help, as for the past three shifts I have felt that I have had too much to do and not enough time in which to do it in. Little baby Flipper Stewart is doing well - getting big now, fast! Noticeably…

Google + YouTube

By Iain January 25, 2014Internet, Site RelatedNo Comments

The problem I have with Google and YouTube is not that they were once separate entities, but that they have come together and become very confusing. Creating a page for me on Google+ without asking was just the start. For months it was convincing me to use my real name on my youTube channel - something I didn't want to…
