I am my parents
A few weeks ago, a friend sent me a podcast around mental health and meditation. It’s called A New Day by Gerry Hussey, I have listened to it many times and find it very beneficial in terms of understanding myself and in dealing with the inner critic voice that is with me every day. In…

One down, one to go
My pet theory that Arsenal will win the Premiership and the Champions League still holds water. Last night they ticked off the first box. On Saturday week they challenge for the second. An email has been sent to the Monday Night Club,

Things change when people die
I believe I am a better person since mam died three years ago. Less angry, getting on better with my two brothers, more caring to those around me. I believe in the spirits of dead people, the idea that they stay with you to some degree after they go. The funeral service for Dave Wallace…
