Ever feel like just a number?
Just recently I’ve experienced two kinds of customer service. One of which made me feel valued and the well I may has well not have existed. I bought two very different gifts but spent about the same online and had issues with both orders, which is out of the ordinary…
Things I have learnt this week…….
That being overworked and underpaid has to stop and the only person that can do that is me. That I hate the sinking feeling that lingers in the pit of your stomach when you realise you really don't know what you have until its gone. That God wasnt ready to…
The blog that broke the camels back…
Last week I began to feel under pressure, real pressure. Stress levels were high. I have a 9-5 job which is actually working out to be a 7am to 9pm gig at the moment. On top of that I had 15 freelance work projects to get through let alone work…
A new book from an old time…
As much as I love to write I love to read. If there is a book sale on or 30 minutes to kill I will find a bookshop to browse and buy. I collect them. Any book, some inherited, some recommended and some to me are just important books that…
A little bit of humour!
A good friend of mine bought me a book as a gift this week. It's called Awkward Family Photos by Mike Bender and Doug Chernack. Whilst I can't really comment on the words as there aren't that many I will just simply say that it was a great read that…

Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made…
Books that got me reading…
As a shy, introverted little girl I always found books a great escape. I wasn't outdoorsy like my parents and my brother so much,although I had my moments, particularly one glorious sports day when I came first in the cross country. Not one person expected it, including myself. I promptly had…
Indelible Ink……
Charlie Sheen and his crazy disconnected tweets got me Whatever happens to Charlie god bless him, whether he might one day return to us here on earth and get off the hallucinogens or the goddesses go home to their parents for some soul searching. Or, maybe he continues down the…
How sweet it is…..
Just lately it seems every email I open is spam or a mailshot from some website I subscribed to long ago. Tiger airways flights to nowhere for 5cents, an offer of free business cards except the delivery is $ or a chance to win tickets to see a band i've…
For Lovers….
For all you hopeless romantics. I came across this beautiful love letter written by Beethoven. It's language is old yet beautiful and I have to admit I am a tiny bit jealous of the "immortal beloved" to have received such a passionate letter. How would you feel if someone wrote…
