Is there anyone out there who is not guilty of taking a loved one for granted? Who holds them in their heart but rarely expresses how much they mean to them? Today, in my life, such a loved one is having a birthday. These are the things she doesn’t know. That I woke up this … More The things I don’t say
What sort of a person are you? A laid back type of individual, or someone who likes to be well organised? I’m definitely in the laid back category. Someone who has yet to pack the night before holidays or who looks for the directions to where they are going moments before leaving the house. I … More Do you let Lady Luck into your life?
If you’re someone whose unpublished novel is gathering dust, someone who wonders what sort of people write books, someone who needs inspiration or someone who wonders about self publishing versus traditional publishing, then you should go look up a festival near you. I did that and the Wexford Literary Festival sounded perfect. I was so … More What happens at a literary festival?

I had thought I knew what a friend was until I was part of a discussion recently, where a fairly sizable number spoke of having at least one friend who is all take and no give. I … More What is a friend?
Well are there? As a child I seethed as I was left off football teams because it was ‘boys only’. I raged that I could join the brownies but not scouts and I fumed when the neighbourhood boys told me I couldn’t play because there were no girls allowed. I had little doubt, as a … More Are there real differences between boys and girls?
To those of you who read this after putting your little ones to bed, to those of you who dream, as you drown in everyday parenting, to those of you who cannot remember life before children, I have only one thing to say… it does end, and as you look back you will shake your … More As off you go.
I’ve been seriously let down and I think I may be psychologically damaged as a result. I’m quite a strong person but today I’m struggling and I’m sure I’m not alone.
