I’m currently taking some time out after a very stressful and hectic few months. It’s essential that I take this time to relax and reset for my own wellbeing. The following article from Mindjournal outlines why it is so important to take time out: https://www.mindjournals.com/blogs/read/summer-timeout?utm_source=Potential%20Purchasers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=August%20%7C%20Email%202%20%7C%20Editorial%20%28Engaged%29%20%2B%20%28Potential%29%20%2801H6RHCJJ6TV42QRJEYAMKYS0F%29&triplesource=klaviyo&_kx=gRm7jEdVFpdiOyx6j0XvLJMfug4-Nmsbvf98aiCv_J6M1AMByXiJuejBzEmNAyrU.KhZBMb

Blog: It’s been a while
Apologies for not posting for some time, life has got in the way recently. Like many, I’ve had good days and bad days over the last few months. Since relocating overseas, my days have become busier, meaning I’m having less ‘me time’. It took me a while to actually recognise that I needed to stop…
Blog: Go with gratitude
In the USA, today (24 November) is known as thanksgiving. To anyone who is celebrating, I hope you enjoy your day. I am British, so it’s not an event I celebrate. However, I do think expressing gratitude and the things we are thankful for is a rewarding exercise to do on any day of the…
Blog: I love getting older
Today is my birthday, I have turned 39 years old. I am grateful to be getting older, each and every day. It might sound odd, that I am glad to be getting older. It means I am grateful to be alive and living my life. I certainly do not wish for the opposite: death. Getting…
Blog: Ready for a break
We are once again facing uncertain times, I for one am ready for a break in more ways than one. My mental health isn’t the best at the moment, I find the the run up to Christmas difficult, I lost my dad back in 2014 and I’ve found that I take a “dip” just before…

Life never stays the same. Change is constant, change is inevitable. All good things must come to an end. But in many endings you can find the next chapter. As 2021 is coming to an end another chapter is closing, the year is changing. Many people find the new year to be a place and…
Blog: Thanksgiving 2
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating. Last year, I wrote a blog on Thanksgiving and the importance of gratitude in general. The message of ‘The act of saying thank you for small –and big –things that we do for each other, is a good way to demonstrate that you still appreciate somebody rather than assuming that…
Stop Keeping Score
am an inveterate scorekeeper. I can go back decades and find lists of goals I set for myself to gauge “success” by certain milestone birthdays. For example, in my 20s, I had a to-do list for the decade, the items on which more or less told the story of a penniless musician who had made some…
Blog: 8760
8760. I want you to think about that number, 8760. The clock keeps ticking, we get older. Time flies? Not always when we are having fun, but it sure does keep ticking. What is a year… it sounds like a lot, but in reality, a year can pass really quickly. One year 12 months 365…
Blog: A time to reflect
Happy New Year! I hope 2021 brings good health and happiness to you all. Over the Christmas break, I was watching the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special from 2019 with my wife. It triggered a conversation as to how different “our world” was just 12 months ago when we had watched it previously. My initial…
