‘Pin Up Picks Pen Up’ is an effort meant to overcome writers block; to examine life,  purpose and choices.  This blog is chock full of anecdotal goodness; everything from family, marriage, travel, frustration, failure, feminism, body image, immigration with plenty of black humour and the odd celebrity reference thrown into the mix.

Thank You for Reading. Thank You for Sharing.
