There are always two sides to every story and things are never as they first seem …
Of course you can do it! You’re stronger than you think
You can never force anyone to love you.
Live within your means and don’t take anything for granted.
Do whatever it takes to get the job done.
You can’t please all of the people all of the time.
Honesty is always the best policy.
It’s not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it.
Nothing lasts forever – accept the impermanence of life.
And chew with your mouth closed!
🙂
Love you Dad. Happy Father’s Day xxx

You know how when you’re a fiery Aries woman, with Spanish and Irish blood coursing through your veins, going through PMS week and you get so fuck-off angry at a situation that you react by doing something totally impulsive, radical and permanent and then you look back on it a while later and think: “Crap, perhaps that wasn’t such a great idea after all.”
?
Ja.
That.

You’re 20 today. Wow.
You’ve grown into such a stunning young man and I am so very, very proud of who you are.
I love you madly. Always.

Mmk, so I’m a bit happy about this. No, wait. That’s not true. I AM OVER THE MOON!
I got featured in The Smashing Book #2 😀
“The Smashing Book 2 is a printed book about best practices in modern Web design.”
This book shares valuable practical insight into design, usability and coding. It provides professional advice for designing mobile applications and building successful e-commerce websites, and it explains common coding mistakes and how to avoid them. You’ll explore the principles of professional design thinking and graphic design and learn how to apply psychology and game theory to create engaging user experiences.
And if you have a look in the first chapter, “The Principles of Great Graphic Design”, written by one of my design heroes, Matt Ward and the supremely talented Alexander Charchar, you’ll see … MEEEEEEE!
Isn’t that cool? I think so, heh.
