‘Oh to be blessed….’
Approximate reading time: 8 min I will admit for most of my life I have always hated that word ‘Blessed’. It’s a little bit of a trigger word for me. (Just a wee, little bit:-) As a young child, I remember sitting at our dinner table listening to grace being said, something about being ‘thankful …
THE ‘NO PLAN’ plan… (PART 2)

Accepting loneliness, Embracing solitude
Reading time: 25 minutes I recently finished reading a book by Gail Honeyman called ‘Eleanor Oliphant is just fine.’ It’s definitely a very interesting read about a woman who struggles with the basic logistics of everyday life.
