I’m guilty of this one.  A lot. The last two days are a prime example.  Yesterday I had a difficult evening with the girls, which ended up with me in tears and all three of them completely hysterical – all over nothing in particular, just end-of-term-tiredness-from-too-many-late-nights-and-early-mornings-and-not-enough-connecting-properly-as-a-family stuff.  We were friends again by the time they went […]

A year ago today, my wonderful Nana unexpectedly passed away. I’ve been thinking about her a lot today.  So much has happened in the last 12 months, and I haven’t been able to tell her about any of it.  Not tangibly anyway.  Even though I didn’t get to see Nana as often as I would have liked […]

Almost a third of the way through this year-long project now… here is my most recent set of happy moments from the last ten days:   Day 113: Listening to this gorgeous piece of music (I have no idea what the hippo is all about, so don’t ask!)              

The first post since transforming my 100 Happy Days project into 365 Days of Happy!                     I’m so glad I decided to continue this project beyond the 100 days.  I get so much pleasure from taking these photos and it’ll be a permanent record for me (and […]

How many times in a day do you say “yes”?  Think carefully.  Now compare it to how many times you say “no”. Surprised? I was, when I figured out my yes-no ratio (through the use of a highly innovative and scientific method – a tally chart!).  I thought I was much more positive and affirmative than […]

“Scared is what you’re feeling.  Brave is what you’re doing” I can’t remember when or where I came across this quote.  I know I made a note of it straight away because at the time it seemed important and I planned to write a blog about it in the not-too-distant future. Then life got in the way and […]

The final instalment of my personal 100 Happy Days project:                     In my original post I mentioned that I would be conducting a bit of an experiment within this photo project. I told you about the research that I’m involved in, which (through a couple of short questionnaires) calibrates my clients […]

In less than one week I am lucky enough to be getting married to the man I have spent the last ten years of my life with. I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life. After nearly a decade together I think we know each other pretty well.  There are surface-level similarities (we share a […]

The penultimate installation of my personal 100 Happy Days Project:                       I’m feeling a little sad that I’m getting ever-closer to the end of my #100happydays project.  I’m really loving doing it, and while some days have been tougher than others, I’m pretty proud that I’ve always […]

Over three-quarters of the way through my personal 100 Happy Days project now! Here are the latest pictures:                     In my original post I mentioned that I would be conducting a bit of an experiment within this photo project. I told you about the research that I’m involved […]
