  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 24. (And lessons learned).

    Woah. 24days are done as of today. That was FAST. There have been many moments when I’ve questioned why I’ve been doing #24DaysofKindness. At times it’s felt self-congratulatory. And blogging about some subjects has made me feel uncomfortable with the whole premise of this project. The biggest learn by far is that this is not…

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 23

    Made some Christmas presents. (Shhhh!). See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 22

    Today’s my last day of a short contract. It’s been hectic. Full of laughs. And awesome all round. I couldn’t have asked for a better duo to work with – so enjoy the little thank you I left on your desks. Check out yesterday’s #DayofKindness.  

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 21

    I called a friend who’s had some recent disappointment. Just to check in. She’s important in my life. And I want her to always be in it. She’s shown strength for me as I have for her. And she’s far stronger than she realises. xxx Check out yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    #24DaysofKindness: Triple Dose Day

    Whoops. Behind. Again. Though as before, only on posting – not kindness. Here’s what’s happened over the last few days… Friday, Day 16 I bumped into a friend I’d not seen for a long time. She’s having a hard time. So we went for a drink. And I listened. Saturday, Day 17 I made a…

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 15

    Today I gave a homeless man a cup of tea. He was cold and ignored at the train station. And he was incredibly grateful for a simple hot drink. It feels wrong to blog more about this, so I’m going to stop this post here. See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 14

    With 14 days down, I keep thinking I’m running out of ideas. And like everyone right now, my time is short. Mounting to-dos before Christmas. Battling horrendous commutes. Demands from every direction. It’s no wonder I – we – feel stressed. But that’s nothing even close to what some others have to deal with –…

  • #24DaysofKindness DOUBLE DOSE

    #24DaysofKindness DOUBLE DOSE

    It’s day 13. I’m behind. Behind on posts only – not kindness. Over the last couple of days I’ve been travelling. And a sign ‘spoke’ to me in Berlin. This one… For Day 12’s #DayofKindness, I posted this snap on Instagram. And with it? A message of positivity. The same message the sign ‘gave’ me, I share with…

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 11

    I made a Day of the Dead skull as a thank you for this lovely lady. She’s cut my hair for years – thanks, Jacqui! #24DaysofKindness See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.  

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 10

    I helped a WiFi-less stranger find his way in London. He was looking for a store called Whatever it Takes. (Coincidental name indeed). A quick search and I sent him on his merry way from Soho to Shoreditch. Boom. Another day done. See yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

    #24DaysofKindness: Day 9

    Posted a good friend keepsakes for her new babies. See what yesterday’s #DayofKindness.

  • #24DaysofKindness: Day 8

    I had a shitty morning yesterday. It was all the fault of the train gods. (Seriously #southernfail? How hard is it to get trains right? HOW HARD?). It’s safe to say everything that could have went wrong, did. And also a case of, ‘the less said the better’. Get this though: what happened next turned…

  • Whoops. Skipped a day so it’s #24DaysofKindness Double Dose

    Whoops. Skipped a day so it’s #24DaysofKindness Double Dose

    I didn’t mean to overlook Day 4 – quite the opposite. I just got a bit eager beaver and ahead of myself. So… KINDNESS DOUBLE DOSE TIME. To catch up on Day 4: I paid for a homeless person to enjoy Christmas dinner with Crisis. Do the same here. I also discovered a pretty cool…
