The ideas for my personal blogs are based on my own personal thoughts. They are my thoughts on life, my experiences, based on universal understanding and make up what you read in my blogs.

It is because I have Cerebral Palsy that certain of my senses are heightened. For as long as I can remember I have always had an inbuilt intuition that gives me an insight into what I and you may deal with.

Through this in-built intuition, I am given insight into how things work and what we should and can do to make our lives better and easier.

And where writing helps take away some of the stress on what I deal with, I hope that what I write through my blog, also helps you equate what you deal with too.
