“Holding space” for you.
I learnt about this concept a few years ago, I think – making space for someone. It’s where you set aside space in your day to listen to and support someone you love. When you ‘make space’ for someone – you make a decision to love and care for them. (Edit: Oh hahaha I’ve just…

Bloganuary 3 – What is the first memory you have?
I read in a psychology book once that happy, stable people – people confident in who they are – have a happy first memory. Interesting to find that the first memory was common in so many of them – it was usually when they were doing a happy activity and most of them had height…
