about me

I’ve always wanted to launch a personal website and I've also always pretended I didn't have the time to do it. Finally having run out of excuses, I believe it's time that I get back (or continue) to do what I've loved - which is being a writer.
I will have a lot of my existing work, primarily columns that I wrote at the newspaper where I worked, which you may or may not have read.
This is a work-in-progress and I solemnly swear to post something new at least once a week. 
Happy reading; your positive vibes and feedback are always appreciated!

Simplifying the complicated

What’s a new year without resolutions, right? You make them, you break them and then you make them again. I think it’s a tradition that...
