Why is it that the easiest tasks are sometimes the hardest to undertake? In theory, my latest task was simple enough – write about my year and what I’d learnt.

If there’s one thing I’m unapologetic about it’s doing things that make me happy. When I was in Orlando a few weeks ago I took two days out of my writing schedule to visit Disney World and Universal Studios and have fun! I’m going to save you from the boring details of how I spent … Continue reading Orlando, Florida
