Probably because … Continue reading If the Leaning Tower of Pisa didn’t lean
The difference between helping and fixing
It's easy to find yourself stuck between helping someone and fixing things for them. When you help you teach and offer tools giving the other person a chance to grow, develop and learn to do things for themselves. When you fix things for people they're likely to become reliant on others to do things for … Continue reading The difference between helping and fixing
A labour of love

‘Twas the day before Valentines day
Over the past week or so Valentines day has been on my mind. Not because there's anyone in particular I'll be spending the day with but more just thoughts of romance in general. Last year I posted a photo on instagram and made a joke in the caption that I was checking my phone for … Continue reading ‘Twas the day before Valentines day
