In an instant

I am at a little bit of a low ebb at the moment and last week mum very kindly offered to buy me 2 new pairs of shoes. After purchasing the trainers the shop assistant said that I could spin the wheel of fortune behind the counter and if the needle landed on a 0 […]

I used to be

Earlier I had a tendency to hide from conflicts, to duck the penetrating questions, the hard topics, the most daring thoughts, the most heartbreaking facts. The lesson this week brought me was a testament to that I got a new pattern in store. I was talking to Mhairi on Tuesday, and I blurted out that […]
