There’s Room for All of Us…

I remember, as a child, reading about Roald Dahl escaping to his ‘writing hut’ when he was working on a novel. This was eight-year-old Anna’s idea of heaven. Sitting in a pop-up play tent in our back garden, I dreamt of the day I could have my own writing haven. I hadn’t realised just how […]

Hair Straighteners & Humility

As a Catholic, prayer is a vital part of my life, something I use to keep me connected to God at every moment. It’s my direct line to God, where I can ask Him to help me with whatever I have going on at that time. Sometimes it’s little things: “Please help me not to […]

Fighting

I’ve never really been one for new year’s resolutions. I make them and break them, get frustrated with them. So this year, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to enter 2019 with a new mindset. A fresh perspective. A clearer vision. I saw this ‘word of the year’ generator on a few people’s […]

No, not Reading or Leeds festivals, but at a slightly different kind of festival… Youth 2000 Walsingham Summer Festival is always the highlight of my summer, as well as being something I look forward to throughout […]

Catholicism & The Met Gala

As you may or may not know, Monday night was the Met Gala […]

My Testimony

No official blog post on here this week – I wrote my testimony of being a Catholic at university over on the Catholic Student Network blog and it would mean a lot if you gave it a read. You can find the post here. Until next time,
