Putting your heart on the line

January 21, 2020

I’ve not talked much on here about my last relationship. And I will.. just not right now. I need to write it out and dissect it, as much for myself as for anything else. After my marriage ended, and I found myself single for the first time in fifteen years, at first I couldn’t imagine...

ADVICE, INSPIRATION

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger

October 22, 2016

It was quarter to four in the morning, an ordinary Sunday morning, when my world fell apart. I woke from the depths of sleep, my toddler nestled beside me, as you stumbled into the room. I could tell you were drunk before you spoke, heard you ask if I was awake, see you sit beside...

Two years of you

May 4, 2016

INSPIRATION

A heart full of love

February 13, 2014

February always makes me think of hearts and flowers and love. While we’re busy thinking of Valentines Day and showing our partners that we love them, it’s also a great time to indulge in a little self-love. It’s important to remind ourselves of all the good in our life, some days we need those reminders...
