Making Happy Work by Mick Timpson landed on my doorstep at probably the most appropriate time. This year has started very differently to most. I hadn’t set goals, I hadn’t done a review of last year and to be honest, I have been totally overwhelmed by my “to do list”....
We are all guilty of it. Taking things personally. We read something on social media and think it’s aimed at us or when the comment is aimed at us, we worry that everyone else feels the same as that person. A few years ago, I read a book called “The...

Oh the excitement of a fun filled new project. I think we all need a new focus at times to lift us up and get us motivated again. For the last 12 months, I have been in a strange place emotionally. I couldn’t put my finger on what was wrong....
We all need some Me Time – I find though that staying indoors means I find jobs that need doing – laundry to go in, dishes to put away, cookers to wipe down, socks to pair (well maybe not). Me Time becomes Mum/wife/ So when I need me time, I...
