Write to Your Dream Life
"It's just what happens. Money comes and goes. Sometimes I've had loads and I feel super-rich for a while but I'm always back to zero in the end. When you're self-employed that's just what happens. You don't get a regular monthly amount."

Brit Out of Restrained Life
I cried myself to sleep. The incessant chorus of insects made my brain whir. I needed silence to process the day's activities but peace was clearly not going to be possible.

Fire
A flame of hope You light the fire Of every party Every room You stand up high And shout your mind I love you so

Be Careful What You Wish For
I was four minutes late. Normally, I would count this as being on time but if my date’s text was anything to go by, four minutes was a lifetime. He sounded annoyed.

In Case of Loss
I lie flat on the floor and moan quietly. The noise ends naturally as my breath runs out. I watch dust particles fall, specks of silver in the light, beautiful for sure, but also a reminder I need to clean.

Four years ago today, I walked into a five star Mayfair hotel in London. My life was about to change forever. I was about to meet the person who would teach me the power of the universe, the law of attraction and the art of visualisation.

How To Change Your World
Sitting in the tiny bathroom of a coffee shop, I was in shock. I had just read the one word which would change my life forever. I felt numb. I was pregnant. There was a life inside me.

Walking Awareness Meditation
You're walking through the streets. Your mind is full, your eyes barely seeing the passing people and cars around you, your legs moving automatically. As your thoughts race through your mind, you keep your head down and concentrate on a mental to-do list for tomorrow.

A Slice of Cherry Pie
I stared down at the remnants of my cherry pie. I watched the last spoonful of ice cream merge with the bright pink of the sweet cherry sauce, impressed with how quickly it melted. I shifted in my seat, peeling my bare back off the plastic chair. My strappy floral dress was failing to provide any kind of relief from the hot airless day. Looking around the diner, I could see a hazy wave of tired customers seeking refuge from the heavy heat of the day.
