I had a minor nervous breakdown over the weekend, figuratively speaking of course. I don’t know what an actual nervous breakdown feels like, but I imagine that it’s much worse than what I went through. It began on Friday, a jittery, dark feeling that was with me when I woke up.

When was the last time you said yes to something when you actually meant no? My guess would be you did it this week, today even, possibly even within the last hour. You see we are so intrinsically hardwired to say yes that it just slips out. Our society tells us that yes is good, that...Read More
Yesterday I participated in a radio show discussing the issues surrounding the topic of mental health. It was a real eye opener to find out how many lives are affected by mental health illnesses.

I guess I should start by admitting that my handbags often do fall victim to food crumbs, the odd lidless pen and countless Tic Tacs, but for today’s blog I thought I’d leave those details out. ‘What’s in My Handbag’ blog posts are so common, but I have to admit I love seeing what’s in...Read More
August next year will see one of my best friends finally tie the knot and to say I’m excited would be an understatement. I love a wedding. Everything about them just melts my stone cold heart. I love the sentiment of seeing two people so in love that they are willing to stand in front...Read More
I was ten years old when I asked my friends to play ‘jump the cloud’ with me.
