July has been a really inspiring month for me reading wise as I listened to two audio books that really changed the way I think about a lot of things. The first is called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne which I thoroughly recommend. It’s all about the law of attraction and how what you put… Read More Dear Diary: What I read in July 2016

Do you ever stop to think how different your life would be if you made just one decision differently? Some point in your life where you said no instead of yes or I can’t instead of I can?

Last Wednesday, as I sat in a hospital waiting room awaiting my third go… Read More Dear Diary: Go Your Crohn Way

After struggling with my reading mojo in April I started the month off with an easy read in the form of Ultimate Storm which like the Nikki Heat novels are tie ins with the TV show Castle. This omnibus is actually three stories in one; A Brewing Storm, A Raging Storm and A Bloody Storm… Read More Dear Diary: What I read in May 2016

So LOL here we are I’m officially 30 and double LOL I haven’t achieved anything since my last update. This is mainly due to the fact that I’ve been pretty poorly since Easter weekend and I don’t seem to be getting any better – welcome to life with a chronic illness – but as I… Read More Dear Diary: 30 by 30 – Finito
