The Reason I am Starting this Blog

Every year I learn a little more about myself and grow more expansive.

This past year has been no different. Oh no wait, that's a massive lie. This past year has been so different to any other that I've experienced, in that I moved out of my family home in January and was shortly hit by the affects of the pandemic.

I left the comfort of my beautiful mama to live by myself as she went on to seek early retirement down by the sea. (Proud is an understatement!). Two months followed, and Boris Johnson announced the first lockdown as a result of the coronavirus. Yes, that's what I need, less human interaction. (No, I'm not blaming Boris, if anything I'm blaming the person who ate the bat, but we are where we are). As I am writing this post, the third lockdown is only just easing slightly. One whole year on!

My personal experience has accelerated some deep, inner reflection. It has also highlighted to me that the most resilient people in my life have their struggles when faced with uncertainties too and has further stressed the importance of kindness and compassion, always.

So the reason I am starting this blog is because I want to connect with my higher purpose. I want to share my experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly that have led me to where I am today. Much more confident, much more aligned, but still experiencing off-days and vulnerable moments like every other human.

I want to provide a safe space, reassurance and guidance, where possible. I'm not a psychologist or therapist, but I believe that my little space on this Earth holds its own value and purpose and that was something I did not feel for years. My confidence is blossoming and I want to use my voice to serve others as we attempt to navigate our way through this mad thing we call life!
