So it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and I turned 36, which was interesting to me as I have realised over the past year that in fact I think I am perpetually 27!
Every birthday is a moment to pause, reflect, assess. A mental reflection of where I have been, what I have achieved, where I am, where I want to go, and so on.
So I have been thinking about life lessons, and decided why not make it 36…
