One of the major steps I'd taken on trying to become a better version of myself, was to apply for some therapy/counselling to help me with my mental health and anxiety.

Holiday Lag is Real!
I'm back from my holiday, which was lovely and restful.

Whoops – Life gets in the way
Since I've started this blog I've been quite good at getting a post out each week on the Sunday. That was my goal to ensure that I kept it going and to give me the time to plan and prepare. I believe that I've only missed one week previously, and I've been doing this for … Continue reading Whoops – Life gets in the way
