Mellow Yellow is Springing Up All Around

The clocks went forward in the UK this weekend starting British Summer Time and how did the weather welcome this change in name? With Storm Katie of course!

I’m Taking Care of My Procrastination Issues – Just You Wait and See!!!

(Timestamp 8.35am) I've talked before about my love of Mondays...it's the day I procrastinate least and feel most positive about my workload. I wish I had Mondays focus on Thursdays!

Don’t Stop Dreaming Just Because You Had a Nightmare

Don’t Stop Dreaming Just Because You Had a Nightmare

It's easy to let a bad experience shape our decisions in the future. I'll be the first to say that we should take the learnings from the bad experiences into anything new and be wary but I also am a great believer in never saying never because you just don't know who or what is [...]

Relationships – Should you Trust From the Start?

Relationships – Should you Trust From the Start?

Trust is a word that has featured a lot in several conversations the last few days both in SL and in RL. Trust is an anomaly, it's something so simple and fundamental and yet complex and multi-layered and you can't have a relationship, of any kind, without it. That Man Has Guilt Issues My rl [...]
