No
To be quite honest, I wasn’t sure if I felt up to writing a piece this week. In recent times I have allowed myself to post fortnightly rather than the usual weekly, as is the case when life gets a bit busy, but almost a whole 2 weeks had passed and I found myself inwardly groaning at the fact I needed to come up with something, anything, for a blog post this week. And funnily enough, that prickly reluctance I felt gnawing away at me to produce something provoked, in itself, a whole load of questions. Questions like, “Who am I doing this for?” “Why can’t I just say no to things?” “Am I burning the candle at both ends?” Now, no-one is holding a gun to my head when it comes to this blog; I want to do it. It fulfils me, as I'm sure your profession and hobbies do you, despite the time and effort they require. Striking this balance can be so hard. I’m sure at least one of those questions mentioned above resonates with you, reader, and your own personal and professional struggles of late...
