Hello all, today I would like to say a few words on the subject of ‘help’. To my surprise I discovered fairly early in life that helping others is more gratifying than helping yourself. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not into self-sacrifice. In fact far from it, I have a nice house, car, family and […]
Since I was 5 years-old I have been happy to spend time by myself creating worlds. Something which a writer instinctively tends to do. In the beginning I would play in my garden being a bus driver for hours on end, riding my tricycle, doing the rounds and arriving either late, early or just on time as […]
Welcome to the second blog of my experiences of family life. Soon we were a family of six; mother, father and four lively sons who alternated between good and loud or bad and loud. Good loud meant a lot of life lighting up the family home. As you probably know, bad loud was very much the […]
I thought I would share some of my thoughts on family life. Of course, I don’t wish to sound boastful, but as I’ve been a husband for thirty-nine years and a father for thirty-six of them, on this subject at least, I do speak from hard won experience. I’m fairly sure those of you who […]
There have been, and still are, four sides to me that determine what I do and the enjoyments I get out of life. They are my life as a businessman, an artist, a husband and father, and my life in helping others. In no order of importance, the first one I would like to share with you is […]
The time has finally arrived for my wife, Sharon, and I to sell up and move to another house, another place not too far away. We have a buyer and things are moving along to a point where we should be leaving late April/early May. I will carry around with me so many memories of the […]
The birth of our first child was not straight forward. After my wife had been in labour almost twenty-four hours it became apparent there were complications and our baby wasn’t able to get out. It was also obvious both mother and baby were exhausted and under a lot of stress. The doctor in charge told […]
Today’s blog is a bit on the poetic side, about one time I just felt connected to things around me. This moment happened one day, 15 years ago. I was walking through a golf course created in the middle of the ancient Ashdown forest after yet another unflattering round of golf. For no particular reason I […]
There can be no doubt about how wanted love is for us all. To love and be loved in return, to share moments of happiness, to have a soul mate who shares not just that moment but your whole life is a dream. Whatever some people might say, however strong the sensations of the sexual […]
I’d like to share with you the time I broke free from the grind that had been my work life, to finally start out as my own boss. At sixteen I left school with relief and a big smile on my face, but no more than my wits to get me by. However, there came […]
First of all, let me apologise for my month’s absence from blog writing. I thought I could keep it up while in the Caribbean, but ended up focusing on my books. Therefore the blogs unfortunately fell by the way side. Anyway, here I am back again to continue sharing with you some of the fun and unusual life adventures I […]
I hope over the last couple of months many of you have had the chance to read my first poetry book – ‘It’s a Funny Thing, Life‘, and have been looking forward to some more. I am exciting to announce that today, my second book of poetry has been released, it is called “Rioting Against […]
A couple of years after getting together with my darling Sharon, we got married. This happened the same year that we found Scientology. These two amazing events have meant our lives have never been the same again! Scientology is a religion, but one based on an organised body of scientific research concerning life. We found it very […]
Hello! I thought I should put something here to tell you about my blog. Individually it may not always be obvious what the theme is, but don’t worry there is one! I am Mark Kloss, author of It’s a Funny Thing Life, Moon Dreams and more books soon to come. I am also an author, if you are […]
It’s interesting how life changes. After a tough year, I turned 19 and things began to get a lot better. That was mostly because of the beginning of a life-changing relationship with my future wife, Sharon. It started from a negative situation, but it’s a great example that good can begin anywhere. Sharon is actually my […]
