I appreciate all of you for following my blog over the years, and my attention moved to blogging mainly about Single Mums Business (lots of signposting for Single Dad groups) for the last couple of years, but all with the same undercurrent. All to raise awareness of inaction, and the cost to the economy, and our lives.
Our new Prime Minister Liz Truss, her knowledge of the Single Mums Business Network, aka SMBN, and our renewed hope for access to childcare, homes, financial independence and dignity.
With every change comes renewed hope, renewed hope for action, change, and a better future for us all, and whatever your political views, this is todays' reality, and this is where less drama, and more productive focus is needed.
The Chancellor, The Cost of Living Crisis, Benefits and Bias..

Masculinity, Equality, Mental Health and Purpose for the 21st Century Man
