Overthinking 101

  If this was an olympic sport, I would definitely have a place on the podium. I have an incredible ability to over-analyse conversations, messages, phone calls like no other human I have ever met. The reactions I have had from people when I tell them what I thought they meant versus what they actually...

The Greatest Love of All

Yes, its that time again.  My last Valentines post was very different to the message I am putting out to you today.  You can read it here What’s love got to do with it? Social media is full of love today, as you would expect.  That can be tough for those who are alone, or do...

What a difference a blog makes

  The period between Christmas and New Year is notorious for being a bit of a nothing time unless you are shopping in the sales.   Perfect opportunity then for me to get writing. This is 3 blogs in one; a brief look back, a look ahead to the new year and a bit about my...
