"Life is curly, don't try to straighten it out" 
Susan Scott - Fierce Conversations 


A Curly Life is a blog about all of us. It's about the inevitable twists and turns which are part of our experience of life. It is the recognition that very little is straight forward and that for most of us our everyday moments are characterised by more frizzy, kinky, fuzzy bits, than not. As Susan Scott discusses in her book Fierce Conversations, our attempts to 'straighten it out' are futile and cause more angst than necessary  - if you were only to embrace the curly.


So here begins a fun journey as we examine 'The Curly Life' in all its glory. I hope you will join me.
