A Time for Reflection

Last weekend, I caught the last half an hour of It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s one of my favourite Christmas films. A true nostalgic classic that always reminds me of family Christmases when I was younger.  Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed and Henry Travers as Clarence Odbody, it is a...

Take Time To Talk

I read an article at the weekend that was discussing the interesting topic of how these days, people just don’t talk to each other like they used to. We are all so engrossed in our phones, tablets and busy lives that the thought of talking to someone in a queue,...

It’s Okay, Not To Be Okay
