Dear Caitlyn Jenner | Quite honestly

Dear Caitlyn Jenner Quite honestly, I didn’t recognise you at first glance as I scrolled past the cover of Vanity Fair on my newsfeed yesterday. I have followed your news-drawing story each day – from the triumphs and progress, to the hard days and the tears and the tough choices. Quite honestly, I don’t know...

How to handle disappointment

If you read my post Six things you don't know about me, you'll know I don't like bananas. This is an important fact for this story. This morning on the way to work I stopped at the shops to pick up some munchies because I had not had breakfast (and I get grumpy when I'm...
