It's Sunday, the sun is shining and we've a roast dinner cooking away - nothing makes me happier than a day like this one. We've got family staying, I'm one beer down and I'm feeling more chilled than I have in ages. (Besides the football nerves of course - it's been a nervy couple of… Continue reading Thirty and Thriving 🙌

I look like I’ve got this: Everyone has their own stuff going on
I hit rock bottom Wednesday morning. I felt extremely alone and I missed Dave terribly. I felt like I wasn't going to be able to go on without things going back to the way they were. I couldn't accept the change (even if temporary). And I didn't want to either. I wanted to be able… Continue reading I look like I’ve got this: Everyone has their own stuff going on
Week Zero
I'm curled up on the sofa at my parents' and I've spent the whole day in my PJs. The Christmas tree is twinkling and the living room is super cosy. It's odd isn't it? This week between Christmas and New Year. No-one knows which day of the week it is. Our New Year's resolutions don't… Continue reading Week Zero

I thought a mindfulness meditation was… Continue reading Mind over matter: The power of mindfulness meditation

There’s no place like home
It felt like the entirety of my weekend at home had been nothing more than a dream when I woke up this morning; the horribly stressful journey back to Cardiff being the disastrous ending that finally woke me up. It feels like I went to sleep after the Halloween party last Thursday and I've been asleep ever since. A big part of me wants to curl up and go back to dreaming of home so I don't have to face today. Today is my first day at work and the day of my first rehearsal for my first concert of the semester. Today is terrifying.
Singing goodbye to butterflies in the shower
aught myself singing in the shower, wondered 'round with a towel turban on my head, left my stuff all over the sofa while I went out last night, sung opera in my bedroom, let my iTunes music shuffle freely without cringing when The Circle of Life started playing: One week here and it feels like home already...
