Self help among the FREElance balance

After a full on start to the year I was grumpy, so instead of taking it out on those close to me I took a trip to fill my cup with my mates. Well worth doing!
Freelance to Fatherhood; the only full time job I've ever wanted.

'A life in the ocean has taught me lessons I couldn’t learn on land, both inspiring and humbling. Drawing on these lessons help bring stories to life in a soft and honest way, giving people my respect and time to let their stories shine.'
Smile and say thanks, often.
The Ocean both scares and comforts me.
Happy people are fun.
Love. Life.

This is great. Even without a family I can def relate to the concept of needing to tap out of the freelance treadmill every now and then.
