It's All About Faith
There aren't many 90s kids that don't have a special place in their heart for Buffy The Vampire Slayer. It's fair to say that many an OG crush was founded from that show. Right now in 2020, people can still find new companions with the simple question, "Angel or Spike?" The correct answer often leading to a beautiful friendship. It's Spike by the way. That is the only acceptable answer. I mean Angel needed a soul to love, Spike was just a walking ball of passionate love whether he had one or not, but that's not really what I'm here to talk about.

A Book To Change Your Life
When I was six years old, I was just beginning to explore what would eventually become an obsession with literature. As I excitedly described Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone to my Aunt, she told me that one day, I would read a book that would change my life.

Living The Dream
As I sit this morning at my laptop, my children divided between their respective devices (roll on the new school term), with an episode of Ru Paul playing in the background that I've seen at least five times, I find myself looking around my living room with pride.

His name is James
Usually when a woman finds herself with child, she, her family and her friends, begin to draw up pictures in their mind of what that child may be like. This is what I call, The Fairy Tale Stage. This is for many, the most beautiful part of pregnancy. The hours spent in quiet contemplation alone imagining the baby that you will soon hold in your arms and the others spent with others discussing names and making plans for the kind of parent you're going to be. For others, it can become devastating, which is the side of the coin that is rarely spoken of.

Walk Into Mindfulness
Throughout my life, my mother has been one of my greatest sources of inspiration. A practical woman, she more often than not, has a practical answer to most problems. One of her more popular solutions to anything negative that occurs in ones life, is to pull on her favourite pair of water proof, ready for anything, walking shoes and go for a walk.

Happy Anniversary
I hate clichés. Everyone says they do, but they still buy twelve red roses on the 14th of February as if it means something more than they couldn’t come up with an original idea (even if they tried so hard it caused a delicious blood vessel to burst in their insignificant little brains) and the local 7/11 still happened to have some fresh ones left. So, when I found myself, without an umbrella, running through the rain in a tan trench coat that barely did enough to keep my clothes underneath from becoming drenched, heading to the 24/7 Diner on the edge of Connolly Street, looking like something out of a bad PI movie, nobody could have been more disheartened than I was.

My Dark Rosaleen
In my short twenty five years on this earth, I have seen and experienced more than many have in a lifetime. I have been through horrors I believed at the time would be impossible to survive. I have watched those I love lose their battles with the hand of death itself in front of my eyes and I have grieved the loss of children that I never held.
