Another post already!? Can you believe it? I remember when I went through a phase of wishing and hoping and dreaming of my blog becoming a massive hit and me being given my own column in a hugely famous magazine. I went and read all these posts from other bloggers about how to gain a … Continue reading Proud

Mind over matter
Recently, my beautiful cousin wrote a blog on mindfulness. (It's well worth a read and the link is at the bottom of this post. I've also included the link to a mindfulness meditation video which helped me heaps.) And I mention it because even more recently I discovered just how practicing mindfulness can help. In the … Continue reading Mind over matter
A week in the life
Oh, I do love a Sunday. This one feels like it has come around so fast; I feel like it was only a few minutes ago I was sat on that train writing last week's post. I had a great day with my friends in London and didn't want to come home. This week's not … Continue reading A week in the life
Sunshine, friends and dodgy signal
I'm on a train, London bound and the sun is out and I'm happy as Larry but the signal keeps dropping in and out so this will have to be a quick one. Feeling wonderful this week! Volunteering again has genuinely been so much fun and I've caught up with a few close friends who … Continue reading Sunshine, friends and dodgy signal
September already, say what?
Seriously, where did the summer go!? It's raining, I'm wearing socks and a cardigan, I feel the sudden urge to light candles again, I used my umbrella last night, help! You know what? No need to panic. September is a funny kind of month. It might be raining now, but the sun could reappear at … Continue reading September already, say what?
A letter to my younger self
Heyyou, Believe it or not, it's me. I'm you. Okay, well that's confusing. You'll be sad to know I'm not famous yet. There's still a big part of me that just wants to get up on stage every day and sing my heart out, but no, unfortunately that is not what I'm doing. Good news … Continue reading A letter to my younger self
Here comes the sun (do dee do doo)
Genuinely struggling to piece this week together. It's been a long one, a busy one, a stressful one at times, but ultimately a good one. Wednesday was a very good day, I remember that. For my birthday, Dave bought him and I tickets to see The Woman in Black at the Fortune Theatre. For those … Continue reading Here comes the sun (do dee do doo)
“Always look ahead, but never look back” – Miles Davis
I just closed my laptop lid and then opened it again about five times in a row. Honestly? This week at work has been really hard, more challenging than ever, and right now I'm full of butterflies. The minute I'm done writing this I'm going to go sit at the piano and sing my heart … Continue reading “Always look ahead, but never look back” – Miles Davis
Time isn’t wasted if you enjoyed wasting it
This week, I almost gave up on Plan A, get a job in a primary school, all together. I've had my moody-face on. Somehow, I had managed to convince myself that every day spent out of work was a waste of life. I'd been searching for a job in teaching for just a month and a half … Continue reading Time isn’t wasted if you enjoyed wasting it
AMBEDKAR
As I wrote my dissertation I fell gradually in love with India, its history and with the story of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Dip in and out if you please. Read as much or as little as you want. My only hope is that I can draw at least a little attention towards Ambedkar; a man whose story should serve as inspiration to all of us.
