A Look Back At February

I don’t quite know where to begin with my usual monthly reflections. February felt like a weird month. I spent so much of it feeling tired and energyless. I felt stuck in first gear. The tiredness dissipated towards the end of the month, but as I pulled together my monthly ‘Look Back’, you’d never know…

Why I Joined Borrow My Doggy

If you follow me on social media, you might’ve noticed a bit of dog-related content on my stories recently.  As much as I would love a dog someday, none of the lovely dogs are actually mine.  At the start of the year, I wondered whether it was time to get another pet. My beloved cat…
