Let’s Talk Liquid Sunshine aka Chemotherapy
I have been umming and aaing how I was going to talk about chemotherapy. Naturally it is something that to be included in my writing, it’s probably the hardest part. I just haven’t been sure how to best utilise my writing towards it. See the thing is with...

“SOMEDAY” will steal everything…
Ask yourself this…Is your life demonstrating what is important to you? Think about the language you use to yourself in your day to day life. Does that narrative in your brain frequently use words such as “have and should?” Are you living your life by “aught tos”...
Navigating Uncertainty
Hi babes, I have stopped and started this blog so many times as talking about how I feel about the world right now is really difficult to navigate let alone articulate. Freedom from the pandemic looks brighter into an even darker cloud of war crimes and destruction....
Walking in Others Shoes

A Beautiful Snowflake
Afternoon babes, So today this morning I was lying in bed reading, listening to my calm, relaxing meditation music. I looked up out of the window and all you could see were thousands of snowflakes gently falling to the ground. Being inside, it feels like you are...
Anxiety
Anxiety is a cruel mistress who unfortunately I learn more and more each day how many of us suffer from it. Every person suffers differently so I thought I would just write some thoughts out loud. Really to show comfort and support to my clients, friends and family...
The Itch You Can’t Reach
Today I was getting my nails done and I had both hands in the little thing with the nail remover waiting to get the trotters off, (my real nails are thinner than paper which isn’t cute so I need to give them a rest). ANYWAY (cool story mate) I was sat...
