Raw

I've decided to be a little more personal on here, a little bit raw.

I've thought long and hard about this and whether I was ready for the world or the handful of people who take the time (thank you) to read this little blog to be exposed to me and my feelings and thoughts.

After all, the bloggers I adore are the ones that give me a real glimpse into their lives, ordinary but extraordinary at the same time.

So here I am.

39 and single.....ouch.

You're such a nice girl. You are gorgeous. You are so funny, so smart. Am I?

According to the male population that I've encountered over the last 20 years I'm anything but.

Broken hearts, countless tears and the deafening sound of that ticking biological clock, and not to forget the crazy things I have done in the name of love are some of the things you will see pop up every now and then on here.

So today I will start with the "Crazy Things I've Done For Love"

Hello

 

Why is it so hard to say hello to a stranger?

I pass the same two people on my walk everyday and we never say hello, and I want to but I can't, it's like I'm paralysed by fear.There is an awkward sideways glance, a nervous half smile and that's it, never a hello.

Are we afraid of the outcome, worried what strangers will think or is it a cultural thing?

Take a chance and talk to someone new today, you never know a simple hello could lead to a million things!
