Sharing is caring.

January 26, 2015

We bloggers share every time we write. We share our thoughts, advice and experiences. No matter what it is we write about, the moment we press ‘publish’ we agree to share. Why? Personally I share for various reasons. For a long time I wrote to offload. To make sense of life as it happened. During … More Sharing is caring.

Then there were two.

January 25, 2015

Be careful what you wish for. Today I am sitting at my laptop, catching up on reading and commenting, and taking a bit of time to ponder a new story I hope to write for a competition. This is the day of my dreams, something often wished for over many years. Me time. Yet it’s … More Then there were two.

Letter… To the one who stole my childhood.

January 23, 2015

Last year I did a series of posts where others sent me letters they wanted to write. I received letters of regret, love, confession and thanks. They were beautifully written and many were poignant. I never shared my own letter, but I did write one. So tonight I am ready to share mine. I met … More Letter… To the one who stole my childhood.

Wherever you are

January 17, 2015

Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad (Christina Rossetti) Yes there are days and moments where everyone smiles, but there are no days when anyone forgets. Today is Daniels fifteenth birthday. I thought it only right to remember him here today, as many of you shared … More Wherever you are

Why do I not speak out?

January 14, 2015

This may be a trigger post. Today I read a post written by a strong, inspiring blogger who describes what it is to live without her mother in her life. Despite what you might think her mother has not died or moved away. What she has done is unimaginable. She has chosen her daughters abuser … More Why do I not speak out?

Where am I?

January 13, 2015

It’s the new year and we should be all fired up, filled with fresh enthusiasm. It is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Yet here I am struggling to write. This is no writers bloc, nor is it burn out. It is once again the failure of my fingers to co operate. Most … More Where am I?

My daughter thinks I’m a lax parent.

January 10, 2015

How pushy are you as a parent? Do you wish for your children to get good grades? Are they involved in after school activities, which you take a keen interest in? What future do you dare to dream for your child? I am sure if we are honest many parents are highly ambitious. However there … More My daughter thinks I’m a lax parent.

Here is a modern day tale of Samson and Goliath. A story to make you smile. In the male dominated, multi million pound world that is international soccer a young Irish woman is down to the final three for scoring the greatest goal of 2014.

New Year, New You?

January 7, 2015

“If you change nothing, nothing changes” I posted this as part of Linda Gills ‘One liner Wednesday’. I think the New Year is a good time to remember these words.

Am I the only one?

January 5, 2015

Am I the only one who is terrified by New year, and the prospect of all it may bring? Am I the only one who sings ‘Auld Lang Syne’ in tears, missing those who are gone? Am I the only one afraid to look down the road of 2015, fearing what I might see? Am … More Am I the only one?
