June 2024 – Menopause Madness

Dating carried on in June, and I spoke to a guy for a few weeks. We seemed to have a connection online, and I went on a few dates with this guy, which were lovely. However, I wasn’t feeling a physical connection with him, so sadly, I had to stop chatting. It felt horrible doingContinue reading “June 2024 – Menopause Madness”

March 2024 – Wall to wall work

The decisions I made late last year and early this year came to fruition in March when I had a heavy workload which meant most other activities went out the window.

June 2023 – Veil of Sadness

For most of June, I felt like I had a veil of sadness draped over me, there is no reason for this, I just felt sad. I started the month with a short road trip with a friend to get a much-waited tattoo, now, I know that tattoos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea! This recentContinue reading “June 2023 – Veil of Sadness”

April 2023 – Starting Over

April was a big month as it felt like one door was finally closing and another was opening. The first 6 days were spent preparing for my operation.

May 2022 – Conditional Living

May for me has been quite an emotionally tough month for many different reasons but also a month of realisations and lightbulb moments too.

April 2022 – Head down, crack on!

April went in a bit of a blur really. It got to the 1st and I realised that a workshop I was delivering was in less than three weeks, plenty of time to prepare, however, I had to account for the long Easter weekend during this preparation time. I look back at my calendar andContinue reading “April 2022 – Head down, crack on!”

December 2021 – Catching my breath

December this year has been a time I attempt to catch my breath so to speak, for the last decade I haven’t really taken much time off at Christmas as I felt that if I wasn’t working I wasn’t earning money and that freaked the hell out of me. For most of the month, IContinue reading “December 2021 – Catching my breath”
