Finding Patterns in Your Journals

The process of journaling is usually about here and now. When you write in your journal, you are immersed in the present moment. You may be whining or [...]
I Can Be Good At Whatever I Want to Do (And so can you)

5 Reasons Why You Must Read
I love books. I don’t remember ever disliking reading, but I fell in love with it when I was eight. I’d an accident. I fractured my left leg, and after that I’d typhoid. Or maybe typhoid was before the accident – not sure which came first, but all in all, I’d about three [...]
How To Decide Where To Volunteer Abroad
In October 2012, my husband and I made a decision that we want to go volunteer abroad in a few months’ time. The decision came suddenly, but the root was there before, in both our minds though we hadn’t really spoken about it. We love travelling, and we also have a deep desire to [...]
