At 12pm, there was a minute's silence to remember everyone who had lost their lives as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one… Continue reading Lessons From Lockdown: 8 Things I’ve Learned One Year On
We are very quickly approaching two years since I launched Sassy Cat Lady. What the actual F?! I’ve kept a hobby up for two years? That NEVER happens.

Over the years I’ve dipped in and out… Continue reading Breaking Up with Psychology | Part 1
There’s so much shit going on in the world right now, so it wouldn’t hurt to focus on kindness for a change. My regular readers will know that I hate people because, as Roy from The IT Crowd puts it… However, when stuff like this happens, it reiterates to me that not everyone is a… Continue reading Kindness Stories
When I was first looking at ideas for my blog, this was one of the suggestions that kept popping up. I've attempted to write this a few times, but I struggled. What age did I write to?
