Hello friend, Today I sat in the sunshine and thought about you and wondered how your Friday was. Friday’s are usually filled with high spirits when I work in offices. People stop pretending they are working from about 3pm, or when the drinks come out to ease us into the weekend. What do you have …
Hello my friend, How was the start to the week? Did you write a list to start out with good intentions or just wing it? I am sure that you’re doing your best and that’s really all that matters. I have been trying to live more mindfully and in peace. It is hard when I …
Hello my friend! I have decided I will write you a weekly letter. Mainly because I feel like you don’t understand how often I think about you. I was thinking about you today, and wondering how you are. Like really are. You cross my mind more than you realise. Sometimes, I wonder, how your day …
I have has been watching Marie Kondo, and her new show Tidying Up, on Netflix. She is super kawaii and talks to your house before she moves things. I have yet to see her open her eyes after a house greeting and say, “GTFO of here, this house is possessed.” Apparently every house has a …
Content warning: Suicide This week I have learned of three suicides and one attempt. All men.

My new book is out! This was written after reading about a group of heiress sisters to a skin care fortune. I imagined their lives and the pressure from family and the invested public for them to be perfect, which is impossible! I often wonder about the lack of empathy for people who are in …
Two weeks ago I went to my 30-year school reunion. I nearly didn’t go, convinced that none of my old friends would attend, and how on earth could I attend without my usual cohort by my sides. It seems the social playground history still loomed large in my psyche. School reunions have been difficult for …
I have seen a few people on social media asking for help and it makes me happy to see this. I’m not happy that they have yucko problems in their life but instead that they are saying, “I can’t get a job, I can’t pay my rent, my kid is talking about hurting himself,” and …
The problem with telling the truth about your depression is the fallout afterwards. Depressed people don’t tell the truth because: People with depression can’t get life insurance. People with depression can lose their jobs either once the illness is discovered or when they have to take time off for the invisible illness that makes them bedridden for …
