I wrote a lot about dream chasing before me and Mr. Meg left for our three-month trip around the US. About the big pause, about the not so glamorous side of dream chasing and about the need to write your own adventure story. Now it’s time to talk about when dreams becomes reality and when […]
Read MoreI’ve spent my whole life feeling like I don’t fit in. When I was thirteen I started a zine called Broccoli (okay, I only got round to designing the front cover). It was going to be all about the experiences of growing up a misfit and not feeling like I fit in. In high school I […]
Read MoreWhile I’ve been in the US, I’ve really learned how huge Halloween is over here. The decorations vary from pretty to over the top, the candy looks delicious and there’s definitely something in the air. I’ve definitely seen my fair share of scary skeletons, but I think there’s definitely something a lot scarier that none […]
Read MoreLately I’ve been getting really honest about the not so glamorous side of dream chasing, and how my life is changing now I’m actively seeking to be the woman who chases adventures instead of passively wanting to write about these women. And I want to touch upon something I’ve not really talked a huge amount […]
Read MoreWhen I ran the New Year’s Revolution challenge at the start of the year, I set myself a challenge for 2016. And that was to become more visible. And share my many stories. For me that meant putting my whole self out there. Not hiding behind a screen or a mask, but showing up, as […]
Read MoreSometimes you watch or read something and it knocks the wind out of you. You wonder where it’s been all your life. And you have a new way of understanding yourself. And you feel less alone. That’s what happened when I first saw Neil Hughes’ TED Talk about walking on custard and anxiety. I’ve struggled […]
Read MoreThis post was going to be something entirely different, but it turns out sometimes life happens and the story has to pan out before the main point becomes clear. Let me back up. I recently went to a 3 day country music festival and was in my absolute element. Seriously, if anything makes me feel […]
Read MoreThis is the start of a brand new chapter. This is a new beginning. I’m starting my life over. The new me begins today. I’ve thought all of those things on lots and lots of occasions. And you know what? It’s never worked out for me. It has lasted maybe two days, and I’ve slipped, […]
Read MoreI wrote a while ago about how it’s okay to not be a morning person and the mystery of having a morning routine. And I still stand by that 100%. But what I have come to learn is that it is helpful to have something in place in the morning that starts you off to a […]
Read MoreThere are so many ways that we can tell our stories and share our stories. I’ve always had a big interest in storytelling, and the way we capture our lives. So, with that in mind, I thought I’d share you my life in 14 songs: The Childhood Years 1. Yesterday Once More – Carpenters Let’s […]
Read MoreI’m sat in my dining room, just under four weeks before I move to London, looking out of the patio doors and I feel an overwhelming amount of sadness. This isn’t new. Since making the decision to leave my house and everything I know and chasing my dream of living a life on my terms and travelling, […]
Read MoreI talked a while ago on here about being guilty of future tripping. Getting so lost in what we want to do in the future, and not focusing on the present. I also mentioned that I had big changes which I would share when I was ready. And I’m ready. Turning my life upside down In […]
Read MoreThis post is part of Mary Sabo’s wonderful Misfortune Into Opportunity blog tour. Be sure to check out her blog tour for great stories made out of hope and heart. I like to find silver linings. I’d say I’m a pretty optimistic person and my smile tends to eat up (more than) half my face. When things go […]
Read MoreLet me take you back four years. I’m a student. I’ve discovered my loud and powerful voice. I’ve discovered positive outlets for all of the injustices I had spent my teenage years trying to change. I’m living, breathing, eating and sleeping my passions (largely tackling violence against women and poverty. Bedtime reading anyone?). I’ve covered […]
