Photo : visualpanic Routine plays a a large part in most of our lives I’m guessing. It certainly does in mine and my children’s lives. I get up at the same time most mornings (apart from holidays), dig my youngest son out of bed to the usual moaning of ‘MUM! 5 more minutes’ to which…
So here we are and a couple of weeks have passed since my last post. I finally feel as if the heavy shadow that has been cast has lifted…….and this time more than just a little. I’ve needed to spend some time in reflection as I’ve raced around what feels like these past months in…

“I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.” — Virginia Satir I am truly excited about the age I am. I’m…
