thoughts from me to youWhy parental time is stressful (and how to deal with anger)
When was the last time you heard someone shout? When was the last time someone shouted at you? I ask these questions because, as with most of the stuff I write on here, I didn't just pluck it out of my backside, I found myself asking it of myself. Turns out, I last...
Ten questions to ask yourself to prepare for change
As I'm currently debating a few life changes coming up, I've started asking myself a few important questions. Some of these seem quite straight-forward but they do make you think about what's really important and the why behind the change you're considering. As with...

Yoga for REAL people – 6 Min sun salutations for waking up (coffee optional)
Hello Lovely Creators! So I'm writing this having had way too much good coffee ergo you may have to excuse my super excitedness (Wordpress tells me that isn't a word but I don't care) at life in general. Anyhoo... Today I thought I'd do something different. Initially...
5 Changes you can make at work today that will make your day better
When I say today, since today is actually Sunday, for most people I mean tomorrow, but tomorrow doesn't sound as punchy. Anyway, you can do this tomorrow too, just don't put it off 'til the day after that, or that, or that... Let's get right down to it then, if you...
