Allow me a few moments to tell you about my friend Alfie. Alfie is extraordinary; I could study him all day, every day. He’s from Italy and moved to London when he was 18. He’s a terrific musician, is exponentially driven (even though he will declare on a weekly basis, usually over Facebook, that he’s […]

I think I’ve tacitly mentioned that two months ago, I returned home to the UK after an 18 month stint over in Spain. If you follow my column on Running In Heels, you will know this. I hadn’t intended to stay any longer than a year, but you know how life rolls sometimes… Anyhow, when […]

Back in 2008, I read a life changing book. I can’t recall how I heard about Rhonda Byrne’s universal bestseller, The Secret, but it took me a good year to track down a copy and finally wrap my eyes, head and sense of abundance around its message. Once I’d finished it, I felt that an […]

Poor old failure. Somewhere along the line back there, it got a really bad rap.

How prolifically do these apply to […]

Although it’s challenging for some to understand, social networks have become as much a part of our lives as a morning cuppa. In fact, many of us log in to check our notifications, messages and friend requests while drinking our morning cuppa. While some purport that the first-thing-of-the-morning Facebook habit is unhealthy, others don’t think […]

Yesterday, I installed part one of the big creative plight: how the hell to ensure we’re respected and paid for what we do? Just to recap, we’re highly unlikely to enlist an accountant friend in their full-blown professional capacity without thinking about paying them for their services. A piece of casual advice is very different, […]

Over the last several days, I’ve been amazed to see how many hits my recent post, I Have Bills To Pay, But I’m An Artist… has received. It would seem that there are hundreds and thousands of you who are struggling creatives: the search engine term report facility has basically gone into overdrive with all […]

What with being in Spain and everything at the moment, my boyfriend and I regularly find ourselves analysing the subtle differences between us, a pair of Brits, and our Spanish counterparts. This isn’t a dissective Eurofest or anything; but while we share our home with two Spaniards, it’s sometimes good to take a step back […]
