Life, Love and Laughter

January 20, 2017

Something pretty amazing happening today. Nothing particularly eventful but pretty amazing for me. Today, I laughed the hardest that I have laughed in the past few weeks. My facial cheeks hurt. My stomach felt pained. I was laughing uncontrollably. So why did my fits of laughter mean so much to me? Because just under a fortnight ago,… Read More Life, Love and Laughter

Can a Person Ever Really Change?

Should you stick around until… Read More Can a Person Ever Really Change?

I’m Finally Crying Tears of Joy

November 18, 2016

Three days ago, I made a very important decision. One that I’d been seriously contemplating for weeks now. I made the very significant decision to end my counselling. I no longer felt that I needed it. My counsellor agreed. We both knew that I was ready. The smile on my face right now reminds me that… Read More I’m Finally Crying Tears of Joy

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!

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.

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
