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

I AM WALKING ON EGG SHELLS! AUTISM?

My daughters always has social problems be it with school or large gatherings. I just thought she had a school phobia, the doctors didn’t think anything of it as she grew up, just normal child behaviour. Sometimes we had tantrums in shops, like most parents experience. I always cried outside her door at night wishing

Post something POSITIVE #psp

It’s such unusual times we live in and because of all the challenges we face daily, I don’t often find myself writing about anything positive! I get caught up in the daily negativity that’s thrown in our faces, the news, television, social media; this definitely has an impact on my mood. So I’d like to

Yesterday was X-ray day

Tomorrow is cancer specialist day. I’ve got to say though the staff at my GP surgery and everyone I’ve seen so far at the hospital has been amazing. Even got to keep my t’shirt on for the chest X-ray, phew! My husband drove me and came in, he asked about coming in with me tomorrow

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.

Dreams

I had a beautiful dream last night. Our family had moved, it seemed to be a different planet and it was so incredible. There were land animals and the animals lived along side the people, we actually moved out of the way for the animals. I was sat under a tree branch, next to a

Book Review

I love reading, I read anything and everything. I have a special interest in spirituality, faith and life so when I saw a fellow blogger, had written a book I was super excited! This book is by Ashok Wahi and is called 4 Pillars of Abundant Life. At this moment in time I was teaching

The new now?

If right now is the new normal how can we adapt and change? It’s quite depressing being alone, at home, not able to explore anywhere outside 5 miles. Will we become movers, flitting from one home to another just to change scenery? The idea has certainly crossed my mind. A temporary house move, somewhere wild
