I enjoy a good glass of wine just like most people. One of my favourite things to do is soak in a nice full bath with a glass of wine in hand. However, I decided just over a year ago to give it up completely because I realised it was a trigger for my headaches…
I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. There are various opportunities in my life where I’ve had the chance to do just that and never did. Letting go of ill-feelings (Forgiveness…give it a go!), letting go of tasks at the office and even at the various stages of my children’s lives. My 5-year…
Falling in love is easy. Meeting someone special and knowing they are the one you want to spend the rest of your life with is a bit tricky, but the heart tends to trump in this arena…most times. Settling down and “nesting” comes sort of naturally, though awkward at first. And once you’re over the…

No matter what your experience, you are the only one who can get back up from a fall (disappointment, regret, life lesson,…
Death, something I talk about often (maybe too often) and something, which has been at the forefront of my mind lately. I went through a phase when I was younger, where death did not bother me at all. In fact, I welcomed it to some degree… Don’t get me wrong, I did not WANT to…
