I’ve managed to get a bit closer to my creative mojo over the last few weeks and it’s led me to think it might be an appropriate time to talk about my mental health…again. A recent conversation on a bad (actually terrible) day left me considering whether or not anyone loved or cared for me.Continue reading “Rejection and the Fear of Rejection”

The power of kindness, listening and love
Think about the last conversation you had. Whether it was with a relative, friend, colleague or just a passing stranger, did you think carefully about the conversation at the time? Did you ponder how the words you were saying might be more than just words? Did you consider that the words you say might beContinue reading “The power of kindness, listening and love”
Goodbye 2021 🖕🏻, Welcome 2022 😊!
2021 can suck it. I mean that. I left the year with the thing we’ve all been avoiding for almost 24 months. That’s right, I got COVID-19. And it was bloody horrific. I had a couple of days of extreme pain and extreme tiredness, and I use the word ‘extreme’ quite deliberately. After 3 wholeContinue reading “Goodbye 2021 🖕🏻, Welcome 2022 😊!”

Yay! What else did I get for Christmas? Well the usual beautiful presents from my partner, theContinue reading “Happy Christmas – I WON!! 🙌 🎄”

I was flabbergasted when I saw an advert on the tv this morning, telling me the Spice Girls and their ‘Girl Power’ message started 25 years ago. This officially makes me old. They were a huge influence on me back then. They became a huge part of my life at the tender age of 15.Continue reading “Spice Rack”
Treat everyone how you want to be treated…even when you’re low 🖤
It’s been a hard week. My creative juices have completely dried up at the hands of some careless people who choose to be unaccountable for their actions. I’m not a bitch, let’s just lay that on the table. I’ve spent my life trying to treat people with the same care, thought, love and attention thatContinue reading “Treat everyone how you want to be treated…even when you’re low 🖤”
