“Walking is man’s best medicine” – Hippocrates I’m sitting back reminiscing about my trip to Europe last year thinking how healthy and full of life I felt. We walked miles every day.

There is no denying colour affects our senses and emotion. Certain colours boost our energy whilst others have a calming effect.

I am a hoarder. I admit it. I really struggle to let go of my belongings.

Don’t you love watching kids play? They have the capacity to completely immerse themselves in the world around them albeit for short periods of time. I particularly enjoy the way they freely express themselves devoid of guilt, criticism, worries or hang-ups. I can’t help but wonder at how strikingly similar this is...
