It’s been a while… Crocodile

Sometimes you just gotta take a break…. I have been AWOL for a while, I needed to take some time for me and that’s a good thing. Sometimes we have to take a step back and time out and I won’t ever apologise for putting my own needs first not in real life or blogContinue reading “It’s been a while… Crocodile”

Let’s get Physical…

What’s physical self-care? I haven’t forgotten that I said I was doing a self-care series, I just got busy taking care of me. So here is my third post in my self-care series and I thought I would focus on physical self- care.  If you remember in my first post there was an image of aContinue reading “Let’s get Physical…”

A Wedding and a Funeral…

Gratitude.

Living life with a grateful heart. As I sit here in my living room watching the snow flakes flutter in the breeze, I snuggle deeper into my chair sipping my morning coffee whilst contemplating the day ahead. Then I remember that we only really have this moment. I close my eyes and hear the whirrContinue reading “Gratitude.”
