Who is this blog for? This is probably the first question that pops into your mind when visiting this site for the first time. Unlike the solution to Depression, the answer to this question is quite simple, it isn’t FOR anyone….it just IS a blog. What I mean by this is this – it’s not…
The January Gloom: A Taxing Time for Accountants The Aftermath of Christmas January can feel like a never-ending slog for accountants, especially those of us working in self-employment. After the festive buzz of Christmas and the excitement of a fresh new year, January hits like a cold, hard reality. The buzz of the holidays is…
Just Start – It’s All About the Progress The Fear of Starting We’ve all been there, right? That moment where you’re staring at the starting line of a new project, paralyzed by the fear of failure. What if it doesn’t work? What if people judge you? What’s the point anyway? We’ve all got that inner…
I don’t like to get involved in public outpouring of grief when celebrities die. In experience I have seen lots of posts on LinkedIn jumping on the bandwagon of someone’s death in the hope of boosting one’s profile and post reach. There are lots of post types that get my back up, far too many…

Boom! There it is. A clap of thunder and the laugh of Vincent Price from the end of the Michael Jackson track – Thriller from the 80’s. (Incidentally, a great track and video for its time).

To be bipolar or not to be bipolar, that is the question. So a trip to the doctors on Thursday last week saw me exploring the possibility or chance that I may be a suffer or suffering with or from Bipolar. I always find it immensely lifting when seeing the doctor, Wellbeing Coach or Counsellor,…
