The Discworld Evolution of Granny Weatherwax

The Discworld books are some of my favourite and I loved this article! Thanks! The Lancre books are also a great satire on my home region, down in the west country.

Trees Deserve Respect

Why You Need to Plan to Stick to Your New Year Resolutions

Why You Need to Plan to Stick to Your New Year Resolutions

Why You Need to Plan to Stick to Your New Year Resolutions

Great tips! I so agree about not concentrating on the massive big picture... Might sound silly but when I have lots of cleaning to do I have the same attitude. I find its best not to look at the whole thing, but start in one corner and just ...
