How I started writing about health
I’ve always considered taking care of our health as something that I should do, rather than something I should talk or write about.

So when she died, something in us died as well – our hopes, our dreams, including our drive, motivation and inspiration. Incidentally, my job contract expired a week before she died so I was given a chanceContinue reading “How grief taught me to keep my life simple”

Capturing moments with ‘Caricapture by Donna’
