[1 minute read] Life can be so fucking complicated sometimes. Keep it simple. Run at your pace your way, and make sure your goals and dreams are your own, not what others think you should be aiming for or even what you think you should be aiming for but what actually, undeniably makes you happy.

[3 minute read] Lately a couple of people have commended me for not being afraid to speak my mind. And it's simply not true. Of course I'm afraid at times! Of course I care what people think! It's important for me to acknowledge that truth, because I think life is tricky enough without thinking other [...]
[3 minute read] Running 'bling' is a funny old thing, isn't it? Some people couldn't give a rat's. Others totally get their nickers in a knot over it. Me? I'm somewhere in between.

Not that those things don’t exist, of course they do. It’s just that they’re so fucking loud, you could certainly be [...]
There's been plenty of questions in the wake of the Australian cricket team's ball tampering incident. But are they right ones? Or at least the most important ones? I have a few of my own, and here they are: Why is everyone so shocked that good people make mistakes? (Have you never made a terrible [...]
There’s been so much said about the Australian Cricket Team cheating incident, I’m loathe to jump on the bandwagon and add my two cents worth. So instead of talking about cheating, I’d like to talk about role models. And our own expectations. It makes perfect sense to me that we might look at someone who [...]
