I have one of those! A very irrational fear that started in childhood and evolved into different arms of how my irrationality could play out.

Today I braved vlogging out in public, which did make me happy. I do believe in the power of doing one thing each day that scares you. It doesn't have to be massive, so putting my fears aside of the whole world watching me while I vlog, was small enough to tackle for this day. […]

On the note of fears, not being to post this comment at the top of my blog totally stressed me out, but here it is. Today I talk about the emotion that drives me the most and it not a calm and fun one.

As the sun fades and the usual ritual would be turn on the lights, I strike a match, one by one, until my home is lit with candles. It's the simplest reminder of the Winter Solstice & it's celebration of coming out of the darkening days and walking, slowly towards the light of spring. Yule […]

It might have been the day I walked through the burned shell of my business, escorted by a fireman to collect my appointment book so I could make calls to my clients and tell them that their beauty treatments needed to be put on hold, that I had my first real taste of not being […]

My personality and hands are too frozen to even attempt a rational blog. Yes, it's that freezing! I think it's the unexpectedness of the rain that has sent my fingertips into shock. We usually have this long build up to the rain and beg for it a little so that by the time it arrives […]

I've put the inability to write on this trip to rest and find myself settled into actually taking in the sea air, spending time with incredible people and surrendering to the fact that 'life happens'. I really want to say that shit happens and we all know that. On the other hand, I truly am […]

There's only one way to get your big girl (or boy) panties (or boxers) on and get out into the big wide world of things that fear you ... Nike has it so right and I wish I could tattoo "Just do it" on most people's foreheads. Of course I would need to start with […]

It's one of those days I didn't dream about and that's what makes it all the more incredible. It was my first interview as a blogger! Okay, casting my mind back, I'm pretty certain that it was my first interview ... period! Well a face to face one with that little dictaphone and a journalist […]
