A New Chapter Begins

Once again, it’s been another 4 months since my last blog. But this time, something in me has completely shifted. I know now that I am back to writing for good! When I wrote my last blog post, I’d only publicly disclosed my child abuse very recently. The memories, the trauma, the heartbreak, the shame, the… Read More A New Chapter Begins

There is Always Hope. Always.

It’s been an emotional 4 months since my last blog post. I have cried many tears. I have felt sad, angry, resentful, overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, fearful, a mixture of emotions. At times, when I was feeling at my absolute worst, I even struggled to see whether life was worth living any more. But today, as I write,… Read More There is Always Hope. Always.

You are Stronger Than You Realise

Why the World Needs You

I often like to think of our world as an ‘ecosystem’, but not in the way that the word is commonly used. I believe that in this world that we’re living in, each of us plays a very important role. Through the use of our talents, our skills, our gifts we make the world a better place.… Read More Why the World Needs You

Having the Courage to Take Risks

There’s a person that I know. She’s kind, caring and a wonderful mother to her kids. But our friendship had a bit of a slow start. I’ve had many recent experiences where I have been hurt and my friendship was taken advantage of. So when I met this lovely Mum, I was hesitant in getting… Read More Having the Courage to Take Risks

When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

About three weeks ago, I attended my husband’s work Christmas party. As always, the venue they’d chosen was beautifully decorated, the food was delicious, and the company was very entertaining. However, what was most memorable had nothing to do with the elegant party itself. Instead, it was what people shared with me about my husband. Two… Read More When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

Always Try Before Asking for Help

When I was a young child, I used to spend a lot of time with one of my older cousins. We shared a love of music and reading, and she was always ready to educate me on different areas of life. We were watching the now-defunct TV show ‘Video Hits’ when the words ‘debut’ hit… Read More Always Try Before Asking for Help

A Lot Can Change in a Year

Whenever a year draws to a close, many of us start planning the year ahead. We feel determined to put the past behind us, we ponder about our new year’s resolutions and we want the next year to be better than the last. But sometimes, we shouldn’t just focus all our energy on moving forward.… Read More A Lot Can Change in a Year

You Can Change the World

I recently had a two-hour long conversation with a stranger I met in a car park. I was enjoying a picnic lunch with my youngest daughter. We were sitting at a park that was located next to a medical surgery. My daughter and I were munching on our sandwiches, when a man about the age… Read More You Can Change the World

Overcoming a Life Without Confidence

I’ve had some horrible things said to me during my life. When I had a nail biting habit, I was told that nobody would love me – that no-one would want to hold my filthy hand, let alone marry me. I’ve been repeatedly called stupid. I’ve been told to lose weight because nobody likes a… Read More Overcoming a Life Without Confidence
