Music, I missed you…
When I was in my teens, you couldn’t get me out of music shops! I’d be forever in there, browsing through the racks of CDs, scanning the album art, checking out the tracks from my favourite artists – and those…
The Spiral of Grief
I was in two minds about whether to write this post or not, because grief feels like such a difficult, emotive topic to write about. On the one hand, I definitely don’t want to sweep it all up into some…
Anxiety as a Mama
It’s not always easy to admit, but there are many days where a wave of anxiety will wash over me. I don’t know why, not sure how, and can’t put my finger on what, but the feeling is there. And…
