Imperfect Love Can Be Good

When it comes to love, imperfection can be good.

(Disclaimer: I am not talking about accepting s***!)

Why Can Imperfect Love Be 'Good'?

Because striving for perfection in love doesn’t work. It doesn't work because it doesn't exist. Strive for perfection in love, and yo...

Life Can Feel Meaningful

Do you believe your life can be meaningful? I don’t know about you, but I was raised to believe that you have to work hard in life and that nothing comes easily. Looking back I never thought my life could be helpful, meaningful or joyful.

I’m now discovering that my life c...

Time For Things You Need to Do

Why is it that we never seem to have the time to do all the things that we need to do?

Sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day, and as soon as another demand is placed on you, the first thing to go is the time and space you’ve put aside for yours...

Shirley’s Rebirth

For me, this life has been about recognising parts of myself that I kept so well hidden that I genuinely never knew they existed! I enjoy exploring this, and at times it feels like I’m re- birthing every 5 minutes!

There have been times when I have chosen fresh starts and times w...

I’ve discovered something about myself recently that wiped out a great big lie that I’ve told myself for a long time.

Do You Fancy a Giggle?

If you're down in the dumps or feeling distinctly average, it might be time for a giggle.

Laughing releases tension and nervous energy from the body, allowing you to restore balance and feel good again.

Giggle Juice

I was in a group. One person started giggling. Then we al...
