"If people just took it a day at a time, they'd be a lot happier." ~ Richard Bachman Hi there! I’m Derek, an avid football fan, biker, passionate photographer, addiction-recovery researcher and a diehard foodie. A man of faith too if I may add. God is central in my life and my writings veer towards that quite unapologetically. I write for therapy. For my own soul. My own healing. And hopefully, things that randomly cross my mind and get onto this blog will reach someone along the way and touch their lives as well. There's no way I'm having these random thoughts without some end purpose. The power of ONE! In a nutshell - it began with the #21DayChallenge back in March 2020 when India went into lockdown due to COVID-19. The challenge was to post daily for each day of the lockdown on anything related to the Coronavirus. I aced it but realised I enjoyed spreading joy and positivity the most in those 21 days. Since then I've continued to blog while trying to consciously spread some positivity in a world that desperately needs it right now. I'm passionate about God (I'm not religious), reaching addicts (been there, done that, know what it feels like, feel like I can help), animals, environment, sports (especially football and Chelsea) and cancer warriors (again, been there, done that, know what it feels like, feel like I can help). Though I've been blogging (ghostwriting) for a while now, mainly for clients, just felt like I had so much to say and this time of social distancing and self-isolation just gave me more time to take the plunge. Previously a PR Specialist, I began freelancing as a Copywriter and Social Media Manager in 2017 after a medical emergency left me homebound. In 2020 I started DW Consulting, a PR/Social Media Agency that brings together many of my passions including food and photography. So, presenting my personal blog to do just that - air my personal views! I hope you enjoy my very random insights and looking forward to your thoughts on them. God bless! Check out my Instagram account while you're at it... I kinda fancy my photography skills too 😜 One life, live it well! ✌️ View all posts by HelluvaLotToShare
