The Opinionated Woman
“When did you give up on life?” Not you, me… well, yeah, you too. When did you give up on life?? It’s a confronting question. Especially when it’s asked by one of your closest lifelong friends over coffee stood in your kitchen. But if they’re not gonna ask it, then who will? Well, my lifelong …
Every year I write in my journal about the lessons from the previous year and how I can work on that.
This year I decided I’ve had enough… so instead I’m saying Goodbye.
32 was the end of the line for me holding myself back.
That’s done with now, and it’s time to show up in my life the way I know I should.

As it’s heading quickly towards the end of 2017, everyone seems to be reflecting and seeing what they can do to make the last few months of the year the best they can. It’s usually around now that we realise our New Year Resolutions fell by the wayside 8-9 months ago, and that we haven’t …
