During my first 2 pregnancies I had lots of seizures. I spent most of ’92 to ’94 on the couch for safety and a lot of time in the Coombe hospital often via ambulance.

Recently prompted by my eldest daughter to clear out clutter I now begin in the best place to start – my mind. This isContinue reading “Clearing out Clutter – why?”
