January 2021 – Escapism at home

As we entered a new year the inevitable announcement came that once again we were being asked to Stay Home, Protect the NHS and Save Lives. One thing I decided to do with the lockdown announcement was to turn my phone off at the weekend as I don’t need to be anywhere and in mostContinue reading “January 2021 – Escapism at home”

December 2020 – Feeling at home

Well, that’s 2020 done and dusted, good riddance some might say, and there is no denying that this might be a year that we may wish to forget but will actually find quite hard to erase from our memories. For me, the end of the year signifies a time for reflection and time off forContinue reading “December 2020 – Feeling at home”

November 2020 – The Little Things

And there it is, month eleven of 2020 is done and dusted and what a rollercoaster of a month it’s been, pretty much the same as every other month of 2020! When the second lockdown was announced I decided to do a lockdown challenge to keep me focused on doing something daily to help meContinue reading “November 2020 – The Little Things”

September 2020 – Falling into place

September has a been a strange kind of month with not a lot to report really, it has seemed to whizz by but I’m sure I say that every month!!

I had some amazing comments and feedback to my challenge, so thank you ifContinue reading “August 2020 – Leap of Faith”

June 2020 – Raving Fan

Following on from May’s post this month I’ve put a lot of focus on myself and self-love. This is something I’ve struggled with over the years and often feel like it’s selfish, however, I’m learning that if I’m not in the best place then I can’t be there for my friends and family so workingContinue reading “June 2020 – Raving Fan”

May 2020 – Stop and stare

Another month has gone by and it’s been quite a transformative month for me and my mindset. Some of the motivation I get from doing things for others is that I don’t want any of my friends and loved ones to feel like I do sometimes. So just after lockdown started I decided that IContinue reading “May 2020 – Stop and stare”

April 2020 – New way of living

Like I said last month I have been touched by the contact friends and family have made to check-in to see if I’m okay. I’ve also struggled with it too. I’m used to a fairly quiet life and found the constant noise of social media too much when there are so many ways to speakContinue reading “April 2020 – New way of living”
