Two Saturdays ago, all of my plans got cancelled; I was on my second London trip, and at first, I was a tad concerned about what I was going to do. Let’s see how I turned the day into such a lovely and learning filled experience in today’s blog.

Live your life in the deep stretch – Tom Adams

Hey friends,

It’s Tom here, how are things with you?

I have been roaming around gyms for the best part of a decade now. To be honest, I am one of those weird people who love it. However, in saying that, I see a lot of things in the gym that frustrate me. Not because I’m angry at people (sometimes I am), but mostly because I want everyone to maximise their time in the gym. We’re going to be exploring one of those areas in today’s blog 😊

Inspiration can be anything, anywhere…

Good morning,

I hope you’re having a wonderful bank holiday Monday:)

Two weeks ago, I was driving home from Suffolk with Kyle, a good friend of mine, following a group weekend away with the Undefinable Community in Suffolk.

It’s Tom here, how’s everything going with you lately?

Some of you here will be avid video game players, some of you will play video games occasionally, some of you used to play them, and some of you have never picked up a controller in your life (really?). Regardless of which applies to you, hopefully, you’ll be able to resonate with the message of today’s blog.

Shadows of a Departed Friendship – Poem

Good morning everyone,

I hope you’re having a lovely start to the week 🙂

Friendships change a lot as we progress through life – some people we’ll meet and stay close to, others may drift away over time. It took me a little while to realise that this is all completely normal, so I thought I’d put pen to paper and write a poem about it to share with you all. Hope you enjoy giving it a read 🙂
