The day after Mum died, one my besties came with her son to spend a few weeks with me. She cooked, she cleaned, she organised, me came to give me a hug when she’d notice I’d wandered into Mum’s room. “Whatcha looking for, love?”… “I don’t know…” and the tears would come. She’d encourage me …
I wrote this last August, and it’s been sitting in the Notes app on my phone. Wanting to start writing again, I thought I’d start by transcribing it here… Sitting in the dark, the first strands of sun starting to appear and the air has a touch of coolness in it we haven’t felt for …
I’ve always been the family peace-keeper. As an adult, I’ve learned that people don’t always appreciate the efforts that I go through to keep that peace. Sometimes they’d prefer to just have it out and they’re okay with tension and tears. But for me, I find it incredibly hard to sit with that and try …
I don’t know what to write, but I want to start writing again…so here I am. It’s been a rough few years. There’s been good…there’s been amazing…but it’s also been rough. I moved to the coast and bought my very first home. I moved my Mum to the same city so we could be closer …
There are moments in life where our path...our choices, or non-choices,...smacks us in the face. This past week has been one of those for me and I'm working through grief that I knew was there but didn't realise how deep it ran. As long as I can remember, I wanted children. More specifically, I wanted …
I haven't written for a few weeks. Life has been a bit crazy - good crazy, but crazy nonetheless. My birthday was AMAZING! I cried happy tears all day long... and honestly, have never in my adult life felt so loved as I did that day. It was overwhelming and I am so filled with …
Today is my 50th birthday. I woke up at 5:30 this morning, feeling fantastic and ready to take on the world! I also am proud of myself. To be honest, I was a bit worried that having a glass of wine this past Saturday would put me back on the path of having it daily …
I reached my 90 day AF goal yesterday. This past 90 days has been eye opening, to say the least. Here's my take on it: Month 1 - The first couple weeks were tough. Then those 'pink clouds' you hear about kicked in and everything was AMAZING. I had so much energy and was incredibly …
Today & tomorrow is Samhain, which is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year. This transition celebrates the beginning of spiritual new year for Pagans and is a time to honour our ancestors. A time to reflect on the past year, and prepare for …
I have never liked the word 'booze'. It makes me bristle and also stirs up a bit of defensiveness. I remember a time a friend casually commented about another friend and I picking up wine for dinner with 'you guys like your booze!' I got defensive, because enjoying a glass or two of wine doesn't …
