Today is Wednesday 8th May 2013, and today is my 30th birthday. I’ve approached this day with a variety of emotions over the last 12 months – everything from indifference, trepidation and worry, to excitement, curiosity and anticipation.  After all, there was a time when I didn’t think I was going to see my 18th birthday, let alone […]

How women feel about themselves is a hot topic right now – and rightly so.  With both eating disorders and obesity on the increase, it’s pretty obvious that very few of us are even satisfied with how we look, let alone actually positively like or love ourselves.

This time last year, a woman called Samantha Brick caused controversy by writing an article in the Daily Mail claiming that women the world over hate her because of how beautiful she is.

I came across this great little snippet the other day and it struck me just how relevent this is in today’s society.  Everyone always seems to be so hard on themselves.  About everything.  How about we give ourselves a break?  After all, we are all simply doing the best we can with what we’ve got, in […]

Back at the beginning of February this year, I posted a blog about a car accident I’d been involved in on the motorway 9 months earlier. Just to recap, when I wrote the post I’d been to see Trevor Silvester for a bit of help with overcoming the aftershock and trauma of the whole situation, as it had been limiting my […]

Are you a juggler?  I am.  And I’m pretty sure that most of you are too.  Normally I’m perfectly capable of juggling numerous things in the air at any one time.  In fact I’d go so far as to suggest that I’m actually quite talented at it.  There’s a fine balance though.  Sometimes just adding one more […]

A couple of months ago I stumbled across a photo on Facebook that I instantly fell in love with.  It has been ‘liked’ nearly 26,000 times in total, and has inspired over 4,500 people from around the globe to comment on it. Unfortunately my computer is refusing to play by the rules at the moment, and won’t […]
