By the end of 2016 my Smile Jar was filled with over 100 happy moments, Instagram had over 100 more.

The idea for The Year of The D may have been inspired by a thirsty joke, but the fundamental iDeas guiding me through 2018 weren’t.

I never make new years resolutions, they're rarely goals but basically big wishes with no plan to make them come true. Instead I give each year a theme that guides my decisions, actions and goals for the year to give them more of a purpose.

I went abseiling to raise awareness for The David Martin Foundation, well I tried to anyway. What did I learn from standing on the edge, 33 stories up, frozen with fear, unable to trust myself, those around me and the safety equipment to take the first step off..even though i wanted to?
