Thoughtful Tuesdays: Misunderstandings

By Eithne Cullen Welcome to my Thoughtful Tuesday page for January 2025. For many people, a New Year means new beginnings. That’s certainly the case for us as we embark on our new theme: ‘Misunderstandings’. I have some lovely pieces to share with you relating to that theme. You may know that ...

Monday Moments: Taking A Different Path

Introduced By Amber Hall This month, our theme is still ‘Difference’ and I wanted my page to be a celebration of doing things differently. It’s easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to others, especially when we’re constantly exposed to everyone else’s best bits on social media. But each one of ...
