It’s A Hard Knock Life For Us!
I've been wrestling between two different elements of myself this week. After a walk around the shops and the realisation that sometime its important that you do something totally meaningless that's fun, to take all the seriousness out of everything. My enquiring mind brought me back to the two elements. Each one gives me something … Continue reading It’s A Hard Knock Life For Us!

It's been a tough 3 months on our relationship...

Why Motivation To Change Is Imperative
I stood on the train station platform, watching ice be scraped off the windscreen of a parked car. It’s cold.

Overlooking the airport, an easyjet flight … Continue reading Why Motivation To Change Is Imperative

Set An Intention, Spend Time On Reflection & See If Your Urges Appear
"I think I'd like to live & work in Bangkok." I told my husband. This was a little surprising because I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with it ever since my first trip there.
