For my readers who know me personally or have read this blog since day 1 (July 2009) – you know what a journey I have been on. Getting through childhood, gaining my masters, managing full time work, setting up my own business, my hectic social life and love of travel; all relished alongside my disability, [...]

I have been doing that ‘feeling bad’ thing when I realise I haven’t written a more thought provoking piece for my blog.
