Full disclosure now… I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to write in this blog post, like most things in my life, I thought of something (a title) and thought I’d run with it. See where the keys take me. Fuller disclosure now… I obviously … Continue reading New year, same me: I resolve to stay the same.
I’ve been told that I hold on to the past too much. A good friend once said to me that I cling to my history, through rose coloured glasses of course. That’s true. Less so now but true, nonetheless.
