"Now behind the eyes and secrets of the dreamers in the streets rocked to sleep by the sea, see the titbits and topsyturvies, bobs and buttontops, bags and bones, ash and rind and dandruff and nailparings, saliva and snowflakes and moulted feathers of dreams, the wrecks and sprats and shells and fishbones, whale-juice and moonshine… Continue reading Dylan Thomas is today’s quote of the day!

Success is in the eye of the beholder…
How do you measure your success? This question has been popping up all over for me lately and I can’t seem to shake it. So I’ve decided to take a deeper look at it, rather than pretending it isn’t there.

I wanna hold your hand
Distractions on the horizon... I was hunkering down armed with my coffee mug, laptop and boatload of freshly brewed inspiration, when I lost focus like an Ostrich who spotted a shiny object buried in the sand.

So… you think you’re crazy? Here’s a quote for you!
