Perhaps you forget to do something you normally do, or you suddenly you find yourself in a situation that you could have avoided if only you [INSERT THING HERE].

All you need

And maybe all you need to do is take a deep breath and let go. You have the opportunity to take control of the way you want to feel even though you may not realise it. It's often only when you decide that you want something more or something different that you become aware of … Continue reading All you need →

Thank you for trying

What do you say when someone totally surprises you with their words and actions? When they are generous and kind in ways that they don't need to be, when they go above and beyond what they're required to do. I almost overlooked that it would have taken this person effort and care to handle the … Continue reading Thank you for trying →

Something new

When was the last time you did something for the first time? Just kidding because that phrase makes me want to roll my eyes.

Back to the good stuff

I’d like to be writing something more inspiring, uplifting or thought prompting. But instead here I am writing tales of things that greatly frustrate me, of situations that turned out not quite as I’d have planned. But that’s the things with words, sometimes its necessary to just let them pour out instead of trying to … Continue reading Back to the good stuff →

You might as well say it

Have you ever wanted to say something but not known how to put it into words so you ended up saying nothing. Well I’m learning that in some cases you might as well say it because the alternative is harbouring frustration over words unspoken and that is something that never feels good. It’s not about … Continue reading You might as well say it →
