Sit down. Breathe. Write. Repeat...Gently Does it
I wonder if you feel the same way? Gradually our 'lockdown' is easing here and having spoken to many clients and friends, many of us feel uneasy at being out there again. Someone even said she felt "borderline agoraphobic'. We all have to respond to...
It’s OK you know
Does it seem to you that life's something of a blur at the moment? As if the months/days are whizzing by? It's May tomorrow - what?! Yup. It sort of feels as if it was Christmas yesterday and yet, Easter's somehow been squeezed in between...

Oprah’s spot on
