As another Valentine’s approaches I think of all the times I’ve been sad and lonely on this day. Why is there so much pressure to make a huge romantic gesture on one day of the year? Wouldn’t it be better to spread that love over the whole year? Little and often? Valentine’s has been commoditised …

Falling Out of Love
I don’t know whether you fall out of love or whether love has lots of different phases that we move through. Maybe you get to a phase that don’t want to move in to and so it ends. Or maybe it wasn’t right to start, maybe you settled, maybe you knew it wasn’t quite right …
Never Stop Trying
I try not to write posts that are overtly personal or have my opinion in. But I have learnt over the last year of being single that love and the way that we show and receive it is a personal thing. Some people show love by physical affection or sex, others through acts of service …

Mothers Day 2021
To all the mothers who struggle to keep themselves and their children safe. To all the mothers who go hungry to feed their starving children. To all the mothers who walk miles every day to get their children water. To all the mothers who don’t have a roof over their heads and freeze just to …
Poem – Before the World Has Woken Up
Create Magic Everyday
One of my close friends told me recently that romance doesn’t matter. I totally disagreed. I create magic and romance in every day of my life. It’s Valentine’s Day today. I ordered myself a treat. I’ve made afternoon tea for my mum and children. And I made them valentines cards as a little surprise this …
Valentines Day
I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. When I’ve been in a relationship it’s always a bit of a let down and when I’ve been single it’s like the whole world is in love and you’re the only person feeling lonely. Why do we put so much pressure on one day? And why …
