Taking a break

Happy New Year all!

I haven't shared anything for such a long time, and this past year has been eventful to say the very least. In 2019 I was going to gift myself more time to find my passion in writing again. I had SO much I planned to document and share, but life threw us some pretty big curve balls, unleashing emotions which became more confusing and conflicting as the year went on. I journaled when I could, but felt (and still feel) so strongly that most of what I had written had a layer of rawness reminiscent of the emotional floods unleashed in counselling during my depression. That brought up a massive need within me to spend some quiet time away from any external noise, not least to allow us to welcome our beautiful baby boy into the world in a calm place, and part of that was to take a break from blogging and sharing generally.

Baby Dougie came along in Autumn, and I have given myself the time I so desperately wanted to soak up every inch of his newborn loveliness. I bloody well pulled up that drawbridge and was in absolutely no rush to let it down again! He may be a huge cling-on as a result, but that bond is not something I would replace for the entire world. We are now happily carving out our way as a family of four, and hope that 2020 brings health, happiness and many more adventures to come...

...and writing! I really miss it!!

Love and light to all,
