Date yourself! Ten dates you can take yourself on at home.

Ten dates you can take yourself on at home.”

Alzheimers – A daughters story
Alzheimers. It’s just a word. A word that years ago would have drifted in one ear and out the other without a second thought. Now my entire body reacts when I hear it. There are said to be seven stages of grief. I believe these to be true. I experienced all seven when my sonContinue reading “Alzheimers – A daughters story”
The most destructive thing Iโve ever done….
๐ A few weeks ago I was lined up at the sushi shop. A man came up next to me and was looking in the cabinet at the sushi. I stepped aside a little to make room for him. When it came to my turn to be served the person working behind the counter actuallyContinue reading “The most destructive thing Iโve ever done….”
How far Iโve come
Disclaimer: This is/was MY experience. This is how I saw life. Some people have had the exact upbringing I had & interpreted it in the opposite way & love this lifestyle. Two years ago I HATED the beach. In particular this beach, which may in fact be the most beautiful beach in the world. CrazyContinue reading “How far Iโve come”
End of a decade
This is normally the time of year myself and I’m sure many others are bombarded with marketing about the new year and the new you. Whether it’s weight loss programmes, new careers, courses or anything else that’s going to change you.

From Suicidal To Wholehearted Living
From a young age I was taught enforced beliefs and habitsโpatterns in my beliefs that said the world was only one certain way. If it wasnโt exactly that way, by those rules, it was wrong and people were wrong. At about 31 I started to realise my whole life was a result of the limitationsContinue reading “From Suicidal To Wholehearted Living”
Home is where the heart is
Today is the day. After 29 years this is the very last day I will ever be or be able to lay eyes on the property that I grew up on. The place that watched me grow, the place that kept all of my secrets. My parents & I moved in here on my eighthContinue reading “Home is where the heart is”
Healing & Thriving – Overcoming rejection & finding yourself in the process
We only know what we know. Read that again. As a two year old you probably knew how to say ‘mum’, ‘dad’, and the word ‘no’. You may have also been able to do a wobbly walk and attempt to feed yourself with a spoon. But that’s all you knew because you were two. YouContinue reading “Healing & Thriving – Overcoming rejection & finding yourself in the process”

Mental Health Days – for kids.
What I noticed My daughter was in desperate need of a mental health day. She hasn’t been herself. I had put it down to, well being a teenager really.

Starting somewhere
Starting somewhere I started this blog back in January 2016. Something had shifted inside of me. I was done with hiding, self pity, shame & feeling unworthy. Unworthy for those around me and in general….the world. At the time I was 33, in my fifteenth year of marriage with 5 children (one in heaven). AdjustingContinue reading “Starting somewhere”
