Challenge 5: Lyrics
For my fifth challenge of the year I decided I wanted to do a more fun one – I think I deserve to after being silent or banned from my social media! I chose to edit some lyrics in a…

Keeping It Real
It still surprises me how quickly I feel the urge to resort back to old habits, despite having become stronger and more in tune with my emotions over the last few years with Ben as my cohabitant. Maybe being so…

Challenge 4: Social Media Detox
Initially I thought this challenge was going to be incredibly difficult – especially during a lockdown – purely because of how often I use social media. Albeit as a habit more so than for anything productive but its still something…

The One Where.. We Needed To Give Ourselves A Break!
The title of today’s blog will give a hint to what I’ve been binge-watching during this infamous lockdown! The current circumstances we are in is nothing short of surreal. I hope that we never have to experience anything like this…

Challenge 3: Sponsored Silence
March’s challenge was my most anticipated so far, purely because I knew it would be the toughest. I am a talker, anyone who knows me well would agree that I can talk the hind legs off a donkey given half…

Challenge 2: Get Fit In Feb
For this years second challenge I decided I would set myself the task of doing a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 times a week. I’m sure this doesn’t sound like much to some people, but I’m…

There Is No Logic In Ben’s World
Over the years when I have voiced some of the ways in which Ben manifests himself, it can be perceived as an overreaction. This is correct – it is. But it is also so much more than that. Some of…

Diary Of Me: 2 – Here & Now
As always I have all the right intentions of writing regularly, and then life kind of just gets in the way. Or sometimes I find it hard to offload how I’m feeling so I wait until I feel more able…

Diary Of Me: 1
I never wanted my blogs to be consistently negative, however, I always promised myself I’d write openly and honestly. For my own benefit if not for everyone else’s. Even when it’s scary and vulnerable to say how I truly feel,…

It’s All In My Head
I’ve never understood that phrase. I’ve never understood why people use it and think for one second that it’s helpful. Do you know how frightening it is to be told it’s all in your head? That your own mind is…

Forever Chasing My Happy Place
When I was young I never thought about ‘happiness’ being something I would strive for. My naive mind assumed that I just would be full of it, like I was as a child. As I’ve gotten older, it’s apparent that…

A Time For Acceptance – Removing My Head From The Sand

My Experience Of U.M.T
