Well, hello again!

It has yet again been quite a while since I ventured onto here to write to you guys. I have stayed fairly active on Facebook and Instagram so thank you to everyone who has kept up with me on other platforms. As you may know, I started this blog over 11 years ago now, and it has been a lifeline for me, a cathartic space to share my health journey. But it also, at times, became a weight to carry. There have been times where I have felt so overwhelmed in life that I just haven’t had the head space to think about writing and blogging. Life has been tough, I have had so many set backs and hardships and so I knew I needed to give myself space from here. But as with any good home, I knew I would return some day and perhaps now is the time.

I will try and blog over the next few days to catch up on the past year or so and all the things that I have been up to, the health woes, the medications and treatments, but also the joys. I graduated university with a First last year even though I spent almost my full third year either in hospital or in bed and I had three surgeries! I became an empty nester as all my bambinos left home (though we have our daughter back with us for a couple of months right now), I started a Masters in Disability Studies, travelled to Australia, Croatia, Fuerta Ventura and all around the UK, got a new dog, appeared on Come Dine With Me and the big news is that we are moving house very soon and heading to the seaside for a better quality of life by the sea.

So thanks to anyone who is reading this, I will continue to update, but it feels good to say hello again and I look forward to being So Bad Ass again!

Peace and Love
