Happy New Year, everyone! I know, I’m a little late with the new year greetings, but we’re 18 days into January and I’m back with a little update for you. I’ve been off-grid for most of the month because I’ve been working so hard on the relaunch of my little art shop Rosarts. It’s taken …
I’ve been having a couple of light bulb moments recently. One of the big ones is about being myself online. I’ve been writing away here for coming up to a year (in November) and I’ve always done it anonymously. There are a few reasons for this. One, I’m really, really conscious about my online safety, …
