I am pretty open about some aspects of my wellbeing, although I don’t openly share everything (most people do not either). Its no secret things have been difficult for me as of late, those who are closer to me know a little more about the why. We are all imperfect and unique beings. Life does…

Blog: Reality Bites
It’s a very tough time of year for me. 13 January represents three years since my Dad died. There’s nothing I can say or do to change that. It’s not a day to celebrate or mark, but it does represent a day where my life changed forever. Friday 8 January was supposed to be my…
Midweek Blog + Round Up: 6 January 2021
The turning of the clock happens, it keeps happening. Time is one of the few constants in the world. Sadly, the change of one day to the next does not change the situation we are in. The new year has started with us back in a lockdown, across the entire of the UK. Again we…

Blog: Self Deprecation Achieves Nothing. Lets stamp it out!
I am worthless. I am pathetic. What Am I doing here? I am an imposter. I cannot do this. Do you tell yourself these things? Its called self-deprecation. And let me tell you one thing, self-deprecation solves nothing and will only make you feel down / sad / bad / worthless. The way you talk…
MIDWEEK: 2 December 2020
Good Afternoon It was a relatively quiet weekend for me. I managed to get a few presents sorted in the Black Friday sales and also put the Christmas tree up a little earlier than normal (what is normal these days?!). Yesterday was 1st December and this meant the return of the ‘Elf on the Shelf’…
