A 17 year old walks into a bookshop in Wales…
That's how the story of how I discovered the person who would become one of my biggest life inspirations begins. This person would go on to help influence the words I wrote, the person I've become and the things that I chose to do. At 17 I liked to think that I was someone who … Continue reading A 17 year old walks into a bookshop in Wales…

That is so funny (but it wasn’t five years ago)
The art of learning to laugh, at yourself. Imagine you're at a comedy show and the comedian is making a joke about someone in the crowd, you'd probably laugh along with everyone else (granted it was funny).

It’s a two way thing
When someone doesn't want what you're offering. In a post called generous projection,Ā I wrote about how when people try to help, they might just be projecting. I wrote it with a focus on the receiver but what about when you're the one trying to help. We often say things like I'm here if you wanna … Continue reading It’s a two way thing

A reaction rooted in anger is one you're likely to regret. Anything that builds up has to have a release eventually. And if you've tried to release or resolve it to no avail then it's important that you do find a way. Bursts of anger and outrage often come unexpectedly and end up being directed … Continue reading Take a moment
