Where does the time go, really?
A Busy And Beautiful Summer
Well, well, well, if it isn't my sworn enemy - summer! I had to go back through my archives and check because I couldn't actually remember when the last time I wrote a blog post was - and it turns out it's almost a month ago! Isn't it weird how having time off to relax... Continue Reading →
Do you ever just… Sit?
Okay, I'll be honest: the title as an attempt at saying something particularly profound, but at the same it means exactly what it says. Do you ever just sit? Just sit perfectly still, staring into nothingness, letting your thoughts wander? Watching as the world goes by without you as you deliberately sit there and do... Continue Reading →
What Now?

But what about when you do everything right and it still doesn't work? That's what my wife and I call... Continue Reading →
Celebrate Your Victories, Hard!
How come wins don't last as long as losses?
Life Gets In The Way – But That’s Fine
Life gets in the way sometimes - but that's okay
All About That Pace
I've been running a lot this year. Never really done it before and I never knew how complex it is. One of my running friends is a writer as well - which got us talking about pacing. All writers pace themselves differently. Some books are long and drawn out, going slow and steady. Some are... Continue Reading →
