This was something a friend said to me. Recently. Well, actually, she didn’t. Not in real life. But in a dream I had, she sat opposite me and said these very words. You’re just lazy. Although it was a dream, albeit a very vivid one, it hit a nerve. The...

You will fail Not all the time but on many occasions, you will fail.

As anyone who knows me will tell you, especially my husband, I have a real passion for stationery. Put me in Staples or Paperchase for an hour and I am in my happy space. I have a huge array of notebooks and to be honest, most of them I bought...
