I’ve been lucky enough to write an article for the amazing Happy Newspaper which is out now! I recorded my response to seeing this article and read it out for you all too. If you’d like to take a look at the video click here. Be warned, I say fuck a lot and I do shed a tear or two. Soz!
Much love to you all.

What Are We Here For?
“Hi, sorry to interrupt you!” That’s how I normally start. Walking into a Cancer patient’s hospital room can be difficult, especially if they look really poorly and if they have family visiting. I just remember why I’m there, what my purpose is. I go on to tell them about The Lewis Foundation and the free packs we’re […]
Life Outside It’s Character Building
I forget sometimes that not everyone who reads my blog follows me on twitter or instagram and that I really should use the blog to let you know what I’m doing outside of this platform! Sorry, my bad. So you’ll remember I wrote for Macmillan a while ago, well they were gracious enough to allow me to write again. […]
Macmillan Blog #1
For those of you who follow my instagram and/or twitter you’ll already know that I wrote a blog for Macmillan that was posted on Friday. I’ve been mad busy with volunteering for Age UK and The Lewis Foundation since then as well as just, you know, life, so I’m a little late in letting blog followers know the news….Sorry!
I’m massively honored that Macmillan thought my blog was worthy of sharing with people. They tweeted out the link to their 634k followers and I’m not gonna lie, I did cry a little bit. (Happy tears obvs) For me, it’s a big deal to put my story out there and to let strangers know about my Mum and what I went through. The point of doing it was hopefully to help at least one person. I’ve had an amazingly lovely response from friends and strangers alike and it’s been fucking awesome. The best part is that Macmillan say I can write for them regularly. Eeeeeeek!!!
So, for those of you who didn’t see it, click here to take a look at the blog.
Thanks everyone for the love and support. If you like what you read, please feel free to share, like and subscribe. #spreadthelove
Thinking about thought
I’ve been thinking about the power of thought quite a lot lately. I feel like this past 12 months has been a watershed in what I’ve learnt about myself and other people. It’s like something has clicked. I read a tweet today from action for happiness: “Life is happier when we let go of trying […]
I did my best
I remember the light coming in from the landing and Dad’s silhouette in the door frame. “You better come downstairs, I think she’s gone.” It was about 5am, I’m pretty sure it was still dark outside and as it was August, it might have been even earlier than that. It was difficult to tell if […]
