As any mum of a child with ASD will know, routines are important. We talk about the power of routines almost daily. In our home, on a school day, socks and shoes go on at 7.20am. Woe betide anyone who wants to change that – as my husband found out...
Why you do what you do? Have you asked yourself why you do it or do you just do it? Why do you write a blog? Why do you run a group? Why do you go to the gym? Why do you get up each day and push yourself to...
A while ago, I heard about Morning Pages but to be honest, they just seemed like a task I could do without. They appeared to be a different way of journalling and although I usually jump on anything to help me with my own growth, I decided to pass on...

2015 has been a really good year for me. I have sat today and wrote down all I am proud of, all that has gone well for me and also who has nurtured and supported me throughout the year and finally what I am going to let go of in...
