I cannot emphasise enough just how important this is. If someone you love is with you right now, stop staring at this screen and tell them.  Show them in any way you can that you love them. If they’re not with you at this exact moment in time, go to wherever they are.  Call them.  Text them.  […]

The latest instalment of my #365happydays project. This has been the most difficult one yet.  In the evening of day 338 I got a phone call and just a few short hours later, in the early hours on Day 339 my world collapsed and I spiralled into complete shock and total devastation.  In all honesty I’m still […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about strength recently.  Mental strength.  Resilience. The ability to keep on going despite challenges being thrown our way as we go through life. I am in constant admiration of my clients.  They go to school/college/uni, they do jobs they love (or are temporarily doing jobs they hate so they can create […]

This has been a tough ten days for many reasons, some of which I’m not ready to talk about yet.  Actively seeking out moments of happiness in the midst of it all has been the thing that’s kept me going when I’ve wanted to hide under the duvet and give up.  Here are the things […]

It’s nearly 6pm on Saturday evening, and my three girls are currently raiding the recycling box for junk.  Every instinct in my body and brain is jangling, telling me that I MUST stop them from making so much mess, that they should be getting ready for bed and calming down, not creating elaborate models of […]

I have long been a fan of this quote by the author Neil Gaiman: Quite by chance I came across a graduation speech he gave at the University of the Arts in 2012 on Youtube.  So I watched and listened to it.  And then had to share it with all of you. He talks about mistakes and […]

I follow a lot of people on social media whom I consider to be extremely inspirational.  I’ve noticed that many of them seem to choose a word to represent their year. I’ve never been one to follow the crowds – even as a teenager when I was absolutely desperate to be part of the ‘popular’ groups at […]

Happy New Year and welcome to the first #365happydays project post of 2015! In complete honesty, I always feel a little bit flat in New Year after our month of birthday, Christmas and New Year celebrations comes to a close and it’s time for the girls to go back to school and our normal routine to […]
