October – wow, time really does fly when you are having fun!! But seriously how is it October already? October means; cold, wet, miserable, dark, lonely evenings all of which lends itself nicely to the topic of this month’s blog – OVERTHINKING. Now I am going to ask you to be honest with yourself and…
DetailsI came across this quote recently; “Comparison is the thief of joy” and it really resonated with me on so many levels. Perhaps more so than ever as I closely watched the fall out of this years “Leaving Certificate”. A Leaving Certificate like no other we had ever experienced, in a time that we had…
DetailsThe last 6 months have been the most disconcerting of my life and unfortunately, they can be summed up in a series of slogans and catchphrases.
