As you know, I quit my “proper” job in December 2017 in the hope of changing my lifestyle. I wanted to travel less and have more of an opportunity to be creative. The travel less part is perhaps not...
The law of attraction
May 2, 2018
I had never heard of the law of attraction before meeting one of my neighbours at the street party I instigated last summer. She spoke passionately about how our thoughts become actions and our actions become outcomes. Her theory...
Six months ago, my life was completely different. I was working in learning and development for a welfare to work company, travelling the UK spending on average three nights a week away from home. I was doing something I...

Hello lovely people! I’ve been a bit quiet lately because I’ve literally been all over the place… 3 countries and over 1000 miles travelled in the last week for work and fun. That said, I’ve been too tired to...
What is it they say? “The pen is mightier than the sword” I mean yeah, there’s got to be something in that. Words are our communication, they are our thoughts, our intentions. They show our beliefs, who we are...

May 24, 2017
In my 20s I’d been a moaner. I loved it! I’d moan about anything with no thought of ever changing the thing I was moaning about. In fairness I didn’t believe that little me could make a difference so...
