HOW TO: CREATE AND SUSTAIN YOUR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA BRAND

FIVE DAYS OF TEARS AND RESTORATION
I cried five days in a row. Not for anything bad, but just because I could not physically fathom how amazing God is. Last week, I went to Wales for the weekend, with my friends from my fellowship RY Sheffield. This wasn’t a cheeky getaway, as much as we did have fun, it was a retreat. […]
YOU DO TOO MUCH!!
I enjoy working. I like starting a project with the vision of what it could become in the future. I like feeling fulfilled doing media projects, whether that’s blogging, filming, YouTube or photography. That is where I ‘find’ myself.

NICE GUYS AND GIRLS DON’T WIN??

HELLO, MY NAME IS PAULA AND I’M ADDICTED TO MY PHONE!!!
Addicted. Addiction. They are such ‘hard’ words but I’ve come to believe that in order to overcome – or at least begin to overcome – them you have to admit that they actual exist.

EATING ALONE
I had a me, myself and I kind of day. As selfish as that sounds, sometimes it is greatly needed and incredibly healthy. It was about time I did something by myself, for myself. I got to explore my city more and ended up finding places that I never knew existed. After about 3 hours of […]
TRU LIFE’S, TRU FRIENDS – GUEST BLOGGER
“I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends are not just that, they are the people that touch your heart.
IT’S PERSONAL…
