I started this site in 2021, I wanted to use it as a place to document what had helped me to heal myself, so that others might come across it and find something that could help them too. Then I got cold feet, had imposter syndrome – who am I to help others, I’m not an authority on anything.
So I kept quiet, too scared to share, but still trying different things, making notes, so many notes.. so many pages of writing, so many things to try, books to read, courses to be done.
I had new things to heal from too. My marriage ended and I started over on my own. I had to find who I was as a single person after being part of a couple for 12 years. No longer a spring chicken, definitely worn at the edges with more than a few scuffs. I like to think that I’m kintsugi mended though, with beautiful scars that enhance me, rather than ruin me.
Nearly 5 years have passed since this site began, and I’m finally ready to start to share. I’ve turned my original about me page into a post as it was me then, but it isn’t me now. You can read it here: Crash, bang, wallop
The now me is a much more chilled version, still searching for the secret sauce to life, but searching in more relaxed way. I realised a few years back that my purpose in life is to have fun, so that’s what I’ve been trying to do. It’s been good so far, I’ve tried out various different hobbies, been to lots of different healing events, travelled to a few far flung places and experienced new things. My approach to life now is to say yes to things that I really want to do and to say no to things that I don’t. I’m not a people pleaser anymore, unless that person is me.
I’m pleased you’re reading this and I hope that you find some of what I post helpful. Some of it might not be for you, but hopefully there’s something that will resonate with you, inspire you to do or try something different. We only get one chance at this life, so let’s make the most of it, and have some fun. 🙂
