Earlier this year I joined my local gym. My intention was to get up, bright and early, go to the gym and work out. This lasted three days! I doth my cap to all of you gym-goers out there - genuinely well done! But, I hated it. At best I pretended to look active - but...
Mental Health
Three chords and the truth…
I love Country Music. I *may* have mentioned it before! When you think of Country Music, you may think that the songs are about losing your dog, your house or your other half. Quite often, you’d be absolutely correct! However, as someone who is passionate about the...

Read this before you smash it all up!

Adversity to excitement – keep forging ahead!
