Difficult people exist everywhere on our planet. From households to workplaces, this is one group of people whom we cannot avoid or wish never to have anything to do with them. You can have difficult parents who think they know what's best or right for you. Don't get me wrong because yes, our parents do … Continue reading Learning To Deal With Difficult People.
Tapping Into My Inner Artist.
It has been quite awhile since I last did any painting. Or reading, for that matter. It also could be a reason why I've slacked off in the stress prevention department. I've put off painting for two weeks now and as a result, I allowed the stress at work to affect me. It caused me … Continue reading Tapping Into My Inner Artist.
Tune In To Your Audiobooks This June!
Some of you may already know this but I most certainly didn't! Did you guys know that June 2017 is Audiobook Month?

An Endless Cycle of Cause and Confusion.

Life … Continue reading An Endless Cycle of Cause and Confusion.

Scarier Than Monsters, Worse Than Clowns!
When I was a kid, I was not bothered by the skeletons in my closet nor the monsters under my bed. I didn't have creepy neighbours either. Although I did have a fear of horror movies where scary clowns kidnap children and eat them (I still do now and as an adult, I hate / despise / … Continue reading Scarier Than Monsters, Worse Than Clowns!

There is a Time for Teetotallers Like Me.
10 months ago on August 4, 2016, I joined the company I'm currently at today in a bid to escape the humdrum of unemployment.

The History Behind Sinners The novel was originally titled Sunday Simmons & … Continue reading Book Review: Sinners by Jackie Collins.

Book Review: The Far Side of The Sun by Kate Furnivall.
When I think of beaches, I think of the sun, sea, sand and surf. The soft white powdered sands sifting through my fingers. The blistering heat of the sun bearing down on my back.
