cancer fundraising
I am someone who firmly believes that Spring starts on March 21st, so we still have a way to go yet. However, this spring like weather is most welcome and I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but this week heralds the start of few little changes for me and maybe this mild weather has
One of the strategies I was given during my mental health therapy, a couple of years ago now, was writing a daily journal. I found it immensely helpful, but I have been somewhat slack in recent times. I’ve decided to start it up again and see how I go with it. So many little things
