But last night I practised what I preach and said yes to an opportunity that... Read the rest of this post...

Almost everyone I know is stuck in that part of life where they’re happily bobbing along in their early twenties and then realise that 25 is just around the corner. FIVE YEARS UNTIL 30. Eurgh. Anyway, the mid-twenties crisis has popped up on my Facebook news feed a lot recently. “10 ways to get out of your quarter-life crisis”, “12... Read the rest of this post...

I went out for dinner with a very old and very good friend of mine on Friday night, and we somehow ended up talking about what we were doing this time last year. And my word, how things have changed! I don’t think I’ve ever gone through a 12 months of such emotional turmoil, of such epic personal achievements or... Read the rest of this post...

Can you believe it’s almost September already? The summer season is almost over! And many of us are already feeling bitter sweet about it! But this week I got to thinking about seasons we encounter in our lives? Many of you are embarking on a new season. Just finished uni? Starting a new job? Some of us are still in...

I spent pretty much most of New Year’s day chundering my guts up. ‘Same as every year then’ said one of my mates a few days later, as I hopelessly clung to my laptop praying the dongle would hold out long enough to have a decent Facebook chat. ‘No, you don’t understand.

So the other day, due to freak weather conditions and torrential flooding (which is still occurring here in the South), I found myself stuck at Reading Station desperately trying to get home.

It was just one of those weeks when I needed to do something adventurous. I was getting a bit itchy you see, a bit restless…. All term commitments had been nicely wrapped up; I was beginning to panic about my first Christmas in 4 years without my ex-boyfriend in the picture and I felt exhausted just thinking about my holiday...
