Blog: Giving
The internet tells me today (30 November) is called giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving where everyone, everywhere can do something to support the good causes that mean so much to them.

Blog: Grief
This blog was written on 13 November: Be grateful for the people in life who add real value to your existence. People come and go in life. Friends and family grow closer, and also drift apart. It is a normal process in life. Sometimes we lose people to death. This can be particularly difficult to…
Blog: Thanksgiving 2
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. Last year, I wrote a blog on Thanksgiving and the importance of gratitude in general.

To focus on yourself is viewed by many as selfishness and quite ignorant. Yet these views are completely untrue in the case of self care. Putting this into simple terms: if you do not…
Blog: Perfect? Perfection? Erm, No Thanks!
Hello I hope all is well. I had a busy weekend making urgent changes to my garden fencing following an attempted break in recently.
