I'm an English teacher at secondary level, a Creative Writing mentor and occasional lecturer,campaigner and activist.

E is for energy (or not)

A very short post tonight as I’m not feeling too well, physically and had various jabs today, too!

Energy. I had a range of things to say here. First, if you are naturally energetic and enthusiastic, promise me that you won’t let anyone crush that. Occasionally, it happens and it can set you back. As firmly as you can, stay true to you; to that.

Dr’s Quotes

“...a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.' Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear, and sadness.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
