This has been a very religious week. Yesterday I attended an Anglican memorial service for my dear client and friend, Anne Brailey. I wrote about her in a blog a few weeks ago. Link to blog We called each other secret sisters because our sense of humour was both alike and very inappropriate. This led […]
When my friend told me to watch the new Netflix hit 13 Reasons Why I asked him for one reason why I should. He told me it was the best thing he’d ever watched. When a 16 year old says that you need to listen. His brief summary sold me, “A girl makes 13 tapes […]
My friend had a broken heart and decided to get back out there to hasten the mending process. He’d heard my tales from people I know that have found love on Match.com. I was thrilled he was going to take the leap and sign up. I didn’t foresee he would ask me to join him. […]
