An evening with the girl geeks
Last night I attended my first event with Girl Geeks Scotland, a group I've admired for a long time now but was never quite certain if I was geeky enough to join in with! Having been reassured and encouraged to come along by founder and friend, Morna Simpson, and other actual proper Girl Geeks I met at their relaunch this time last year I decided to go along....and I'm glad I did!
My Reading Challenge 2017
Inspired by the Modern Mrs Darcy reading challenge I’ve set my goals for the year ahead. See my reading prompts and what I thought of each book.
Birthday celebrations and mother’s advice
This weekend I celebrated my big 4-0. An event that a year or two ago I was dreading and could not contemplate feeling good about.
It wasn’t so much about getting older, it was simply because I wasn’t happy being me or where I was in life. Not much has actually changed in my life/job/home etc but how I see myself and feel about being me has changed massively and this weekend was one of the happiest times I’ve ever had.
Step 1. Begin
For a while now I've been thinking about starting a blog. Well I've finally decided it's time for step 1: Begin.
I'll add the obligatory 'about me' section and other bits and pieces soon but for now I want to start by sharing why I've decided to do this.
