I’m Sally. After starting in nursing before going back to college followed by working in research and then teaching for a total of 20 years, I decided to leave it all behind and for the last few years I’ve been a part time tutor and beginner free spirit. It’s meant a big cut in salary and a big rise in happiness.

I love all things creative; music, art and crafts for example and I think life is about making the most of things and having a go. It’s not about having to do things perfectly and hating yourself for failing!

I like things that are bohemian and quirky; lots of colour and individuality really lifts my spirits.

I love reading blogs, love to read about people living different lives, whether I can relate to them or not I’m often inspired by them.

This blog is based in my philosophy on life and my efforts to live life more simply. I think it’s important to be who you want to be and not who people tell you you should be and I admire those with the confidence to be themselves.
