Discovering I was pregnant last year took a little time for me to accept… To think I was actually going to give birth to a real life baby, I’d be adding mother to my CV and somehow would be responsible for another little life. Surely not? It just didn’t seem right. In my head I’m still stuck somewhere between Year 5 and…
I think I am not the only one who is struggling to find the words to make sense of the current situation we are all in? In the world we live in that is ever changing, fast-paced and oh so busy, in what feels like the blink of an eye, we find ourselves in an all-together different world and a…
I tell someone that I hope they feel better soon when they've caught a cold. I tell someone how much I love their outfit. I say a massive hell yeah to someone who has written a tweet we can all agree on. I tell someone how cute their cat/dog is. I let a blogger know when I've commented on their…
I must begin by saying that I worked from home for most of my work life, which is quite ‘young’ by the way, as I only graduated back in 2012. Being isolated at home isn’t very different, it is certainly all about your mindset. The first and most essential step during these uncertain times is to stay positive. Optimism and…
We are either in isolation or in our own kind of lockdown. With fewer colleagues at work, if you are still in the 'office', and less social interactions, technology is enabling us to constantly talk to each other. Lots of communication happens through writing, and it is now normal to send and deal with an onslaught of messages every day.…
Dear Donna, A boy I saw (intimately in a casual sense) back in 2015 popped up in my DMs a few weeks ago. I asked him why and he said that he’d been thinking about me and wanted to see how I was doing. I thought that was quite sweet. What followed was a string of disgustingly vulgar…
Disclaimer - in no way am I going to encourage you to panic buy toilet rolls and baked beans in this post. Unless you've been hibernating in a cave these last few weeks, there's this thing called the Coronavirus dominating the headlines, newspapers, social media feeds, small talk and even dogs and cats are beginning to guess what's going on. I don't…
I’m tired, really bloody tired. Life can be draining sometimes. Challenges are sent and acknowledging them instead of denying them takes a lot of mustering of energy. Denial or avoidance had always been one of my go to strategies. I’d always been a deadline type of girl and as long as there was still time on the clock, I had…
This post is quite difficult for me to write, the feeling still feels raw. Then again, there's no better time to write it when I'm going through it myself - the grieving process. Very recently, my Grandad passed away from cancer. Something that us as a family we're expecting for so long, but it still hurt and broke our hearts.…
Spread love and smile until its contagious... If you know me well, then you know that this is one of my mantras. If we come at everything we see, do or think from a place of love then the world can change before our eyes. If we smile at everyone we see, we can only create positive impact. If we…
