International Women’s Day: the freedom not to be perfect
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m writing this from the dining table while listening to Radio 3 Unwind. I’m sitting down with my laptop and a going-cold cup of tea, after Virginia Woolf’s famous essay A Room of One’s Own popped into my head. In it, she reflects that for a woman to write fiction, she needed two things: money and a room of her own (ideally with a door that closes). What she really meant, perhaps, was time to think and the freedom to exist inside her own mind.

Unplug
I am one of those people that unplugs items around the house when I go on a trip. I do it because I want to protect and keep the things I find valuable, from anything happening to them, in the even of a power surge or some other king of natural event that would cause a power outage, or surge. My computer is number one on my list. I use it for my writing and I can’t afford to lose my work. Preservation of high value items is wise, I believe. I’m probable not the only one who does this. So if we protect our “things” like this, why aren’t we protecting our most valuable thing in life, our mental health?

Why Dreams Unlock Your Hidden Self
Have you ever woken up from a dream that sticks with you through the day? A fall that shook you awake, a conversation with someone you are sure you know from somewhere, a door that you couldn't open but had to know what was behind it? These dreams aren't just figures of your imagination, but rather pointers to parts of yourself you don't always see during your busy day. From fears that held you back to hidden strengths that deep down you wish for, these dreams are an insight into your deeper self.
