Quite a lot has changed this year... it's not just the fact that we have a global pandemic happening - which appears to have no end in sight. It's that I feel I have had a shift in perspective which I have noticed a lot over the last few weeks - perhaps couple of months.... Continue Reading →
No.. this isn't a post about how I have somehow managed to fall in love during lockdown - I mean I have tried - but thats another story... this is about how during lockdown I have actually found the peace within. Don't get me wrong - it was really really ropey to start with -... Continue Reading →
It's not the pandemic that's causing the lack of sleep tonight... it's the thoughts and wonderings of where I actually go wrong with trusting people.
