Finished my letter for @frommetoyouletters! Took me ages to think of something to write about but in the end I just sat down and, as they pointed out, the words just flowed out.

Once upon a time, Richard bought a drawing tablet. 4 years later, and he still doesn’t know how to use it.

That is how this piece of #art came to be. Look out for my award-winning web comic, coming soon.

Ran a writing for wellbeing networking event today

Ran a writing for wellbeing networking event today over Zoom for practitioners in #Wales.

This is my pre-event selfie. I was super nervous about it and silly photos help me to relax.

Luckily, the event was a success! Everyone joined in the conversation and I had a great time hosting!

First up in my cool #clouds content: look at the amazing sunset making the clouds orange and the crazy blue of the sky behind it. After a dull, grey day under stratocumulus, it’s quite a stunning sight!

It’s great to be happy, but don’t strive to be

It’s great to be happy, but don’t strive to be happy 100% of the time. It’s just not possible.

“Negative” emotions help us to figure out when something is wrong or needs fixing. Listen to them. What little thing can you do right now to help yourself feel safe and secure?
