A New Chapter Begins

September 7, 2016

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.

May 12, 2016

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.

Having the Courage to Take Risks

June 11, 2015

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

Small Changes Can Make A Big Difference

March 13, 2015

I’ve been feeling a little guilty lately. My youngest daughter just started Kindergarten last month and I haven’t been able to enjoy this time as much as I’ve wanted to. When my first child started Kindy four years ago, I also had a 2 year old at home but my life wasn’t as hectic. I now have a 8, 6 and… Read More Small Changes Can Make A Big Difference

What I’ve Learnt about Love

January 25, 2015

I was 16 years old the first time I ever fell in love. Or at least, what I felt was love at the time. I was emotionally fragile, vulnerable and incredibly naive. I knew hardly anything about love, just that I wanted to feel loved and appreciated. This person made me feel special for the… Read More What I’ve Learnt about Love

When First Impressions are Wrong

November 16, 2014

Whenever we meet someone for the first time, it’s hard not to form some kind of ‘first impression’ of them. It might be the way a person looks or dresses. The way they walk. The topics they choose to talk about. As human beings, it’s normal to form specific ideas about people before we truly… Read More When First Impressions are Wrong

Making Time for Loved Ones

July 22, 2014

I’m not someone who believes in having regrets. I believe that sometimes life could have turned out differently. I believe that sometimes we could have made better choices. But I don’t believe in holding onto the past. No matter how much we wish things were different, the truth is – they can’t be. However, I think we can learn… Read More Making Time for Loved Ones

Are You Being Honest with Yourself?

April 29, 2014

Up until recently, I held onto someone for much longer than I should have. I believed that their presence wasn’t having a negative impact on my life. That I wasn’t suffering in the process. But I wasn’t being honest with myself. How often do we do that? How often do we lie to ourselves because… Read More Are You Being Honest with Yourself?

Do You Know What You Want?

February 25, 2014

Life is full of so many questions that we need to answer. In our search for happiness, we try desperately to work out exactly what it is that we want. We might ask ourselves, at one point or time: “What career path do I want to follow?” “What do I want in a partner?” “Do… Read More Do You Know What You Want?
