After a month of being on a rollercoaster emotionally, I think I’m finally starting to feel a bit more like myself. I think I’ve gone through pretty much every single feeling I know. Recent weeks have seen me move from sadness (the slightest thing had me in tears of absolute despair); through to anger (the tiniest irritation had me […]

During the summer holidays, my two eldest girls are going to ‘Kids Club’ three days a week so that I can continue to work and see clients.  Each week there is a different theme, and this week it’s ‘Comic Books’.  When they came home yesterday, full of energy and shouting their enthusiasm for how much fun they’d […]

Confession: I had a bit of a career-crisis part of the way through last week. And up until this morning I had no idea why. It might have been triggered by me spending an awful lot of time in my own head since my Nana passed away, with her funeral last Monday pushing my thoughts […]

I had the best intentions of doing a weekly update of all the fun stuff that we’ve been up to during the summer holidays.  Really I did.  And then we ended up doing so many things that I didn’t get round to it!  Here’s a summary so far… We’ve had a picnic and played Frisbee […]

    It sounds simple, doesn’t it? “Don’t put off your happiness” Why would anyone want to wait to be happy later?  Why not just be happy right now? And yet, putting off being happy is something that an awful lot of us unconsciously do every single day. So many of us believe that when we […]

Yesterday was a difficult day.  Three long weeks after she unexpectedly passed away, it was finally time to say goodbye to my Nana. Only her closest family attended her funeral, and between us we alternated from crying desperate tears of sadness that she is no longer here with us, to reflecting fondly on happy memories we collectively shared […]

I’ve decided to make ‘Wednesday Wisdom’ a regular feature on my blog.  I have a vast collection of quotes saved on my laptop, and it seems only fair that I share some of them with you. Sometimes, if I’ve been working hard on something and happen to have lost myself in thought for long enough, they pop […]

Today is the first day of the summer holidays.  The last couple of weeks have been tough for many reasons: my Nana passing away, work situations changing, my daughters offering me their most challenging behaviour… But summer is about having fun.  I remember when I was a kid, the summer holidays seemed never-ending in the […]

This is the latest advert from Dove – it’ll only take literally a minute of your day to watch it, and it’s something I’d really like you to see: I’m camera shy.  I hate having my picture taken.  I much prefer staying on the other side of the camera, being the one taking the pictures of […]

I’m a big fan of random facts and seemingly useless information.  I’m also a big fan of Stephen Fry.  So when the two are combined in the TV programme ‘QI’, I’m pretty much content. I happened to catch an episode recently and although I can’t remember specifically what topic they were discussing, the subject of […]
