Who Was Herman?
A Conversation about Herman’s Hands
I want to further articulate what my brand is all about (www.hermanshands.com). Herman’s Hands makes a lot of sense to me. But I know it’s still somewhat unclear at times… With time though, as the brand evolves, it will become clearer.
This article is quite simply a conversation I had with one of my older brothers via Whatsapp a few of days ago. It was early in the morning and I’d had a cupla of coffees.

If you have a spare minute please take a look at this survey I made. It’s about mental health and suicide for a personal project I’m working on.
I reckon it’s pretty eye-opening and I think you’ll find it rrrelatively interesting.

My shed
I’m happy to announce that I’ve arrived back in Australia after 2 years away!
And coincidentally, today marks 8 years since the day my dad died from suicide.
It’s a pretty significant moment.
This article is about support
Through all the articles on this blog I’ve attempted to share the process I’ve taken to free myself from the suffering associated with my dad’s death from suicide when I was 15.
