I randomly came across a sample chapter from an author and designer called Ingrid Fettell Lee – from a book called, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness. How could I not be drawn to this? Alongside the myriad of colours that sprinkled the front cover, it could not [...]
As many of you may know I have a deep interest in pain – both mental and physical, and how the two interact. Recently I was talking with my cranial osteopath, a dear, wise and gentle soul whose presence in my life is a great gift. An author of a number of books [...]
I need a new toothbrush. Seems simple enough. Electric or manual? Definitely the former, I’ve read it’s far better for your brushing. Then there are two main brands my dentist tells me, but she strongly advises one. Great. Nearly there… or so you’d think. Absolutely not. Six (yes SIX) hours later I still [...]

I was asked a few weeks ago to prepare a presentation for a wonderful group of people known as the Zinc Founders, as part of their Venture Builder training programme. If those phrases go over your head slightly - let me explain! The Zinc Venture Builder is an annual programme where a group [...]
