Jo Stanley | The Sydney Morning Herald

There’s a secret power in picking up a pen and just writing for the sake of it.

When the alarm goes off, I feel like I’ve been thrown in a cold shower. But I get up anyway.

On my hardest days, these words answer my mean inner critic.

There’s a special place in our hearts for our friends.

We all experience sadness. Here’s how I am learning to use it to my advantage.

With life in overdrive, here’s how to manage the mayhem.

As I hold on – white-knuckle to the door handle and my emotions – I remember that this is just another milestone.

There is no greater proof that you’ve found your tribe than lining up in an orderly fashion to reach a common goal.
