Bariatric surgery ☑️

On the 10th June 2022, I traveled to Turkey to have a gastric bypass! I think my story and history will resonate with most, so let’s start right here with: Once upon a time, before pregnancy at 27, I was 12.5 stone and I thought I was fat. Looking back I see how self conscious

Small steps…

I wanted to share some positive news! Last I blogged, I wrote about our struggles here coping with teenage depression and suicidal thought patterns. Here is me hoping and praying, that we are making steps in the right direction. Having gone from complete breakdowns and self harming to smiling, chatting and being more sociable, we

Three steps forward, two back

Just when you think a corner maybe turning, you’re thrown right back. We have a system in place at home. Like a traffic light system but with processes. So if you feel low, you don’t use your phone, you don’t sleep alone, you never are alone in a room, you eat with everyone else and

Relief!

If you saw my last post, my GP scared the bejeezus outta me. Well done to them though for taking something seriously. I’ve since had, ultrasounds, examinations involving cameras up my nose and down my throat, physical examinations, seen three different specialists, had blood work done, the lot.

Just when you think life’s getting better, your routine which you count on so much for your own personal sanity is turned upside down. Your home no longer feels the clean tidy safe place it usually is. You are sharing

Furry Family

We had an addition to our family recently, a 15 week old Black Labrador retriever. I grew up with a black lab so he brings back memories but what I’m so surprised by is how quick he is to train. Within weeks he has the basics covered and we’re moving into more exciting games for

I haven’t posted for ages!

I’ve been very busy. Some days I’ve not been too well, dodgy back and hip pain combined with migraines of epic proportions are not a great mix. But most days I’ve been writing my new book ‘Spirit World’. It’s not quite ready, I’ve not yet found a publisher; but I haven’t really been trying either.

Questions with a Spiritualist Part Two

Can you control who comes through? Personally, I can’t, I just get visited, I am not a clairvoyant and cant see someone and say, so and so is with you, I don’t see people all the time. I only sense spirits and and given visual messages (usually). Different people have different experiences though. Do you
