Resolved to change

31 December 2011 by kristarella

I hate new year resolutions! At least I have for quite a long time.

Going down?

24 February 2010 by kristarella

Mental conditioning I’ve never been “skinny”. Throughout primary school and high school the mean boys called me fat. I truly believed I was. Sometimes I was depressed about it and other times I would just get on with enjoying life with people who didn’t want to put me down. The truth is, I don’t think […]

Monty is feeling a lot better 🤩 just look how k Monty is feeling a lot better 🤩 just look how keen he is to get out of the carrier! (When really sick they just hunker down and sulk) I hope he doesn't resent us too much for the medicine we have to give him for the next two weeks 😬

I don't always feel the need for a new notebook in I don't always feel the need for a new notebook in the new year, but I did this year. I'm not really kissing 2020 goodbye and thinking 2021 will be better; I suspect there are plenty more curve balls coming our way, but I am hopeful that my mindset for the year will be strong and resilient.

I can't believe there are no bunnies! #karate and #lego were definitely a thing though. Personally it wasn't a bad year, I look forward to better times for and with everyone else though 🤞🏻❤️
