I am not a man basher and I have no time for women who are (as much as I am not a woman basher and have no time for men who are). However, I have witnessed far too many men attempting to undermine their partner or steal their thunder… and, having been on the receiving […]

What on earth is motivation? We’re always banging on about it. We need it, we want it, we lack it – and when we do manage to find it, we struggle to maintain it. According to Google, one definition of motivation is: a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way Another […]
