Decluttering My Life
I did something last week that lifted my spirits, made me feel more settled, and more organised (if that’s possible)… I began the process of DECLUTTERING. I recently got the inspiration to sort through my vinyl record collection and DVD collections. It felt amazing to go through and pitch the stuff I wasn’t going to watch or listen…

A New Normal?
Life right now is unlike anything I had ever thought would happen. I’m only 26, so I wasn’t around for some of the other disasters over the years – like WW2 or the Spanish Flu epidemic.

Abducted With Siri (Fiction)
Sarah held her breath as the rope cut into her hands and down her thigh. How did she end up here? It wasn’t how she thought her life would end… Trapped in a car, being kidnapped and taken who knows where. The man in the driver’s seat was screaming something to the woman in the…

The ULTIMATE Prank…?
“As she ducked behind an abandoned information counter, Hannah set herself up as if she worked there and sighed. “You know I think this is a ridiculous idea right?” Zeke asked through their communication earwigs. “Maybe, maybe not. The brain is an interesting maze,” Hannah said quietly as two pilots passed her on the tarmac.”…

A Confidence Boost From Disaster (The Event)
“You’re in! We think YOU have potential. Now, give us all the money….” Sound ridiculous? It was. Back when I was still a starry eyed teenager, thinking I could become a STAR (a dream I put to rest once I realised the spotlight was NOT for me!), I went to my first, and only, audition. …
