Life always offers a second chance. It's called tomorrow.

What will you do with your second chance?

Some of us need to be reminded 😘

♡ Nothing is wrong, nothing is broken. This is just a challenge and there is absolutely no way that you will not overcome it. It’s actually doing more for you than you realise.

It’s destroying your old ways of thinking that aren’t working for you anymore. It’s strengthening your character and resilience. It’s helping you get clear on what you really need, who you really need and what’s really important to you. It’s growing you into an even more honest version of yourself.

And when it’s done with its disruption, it will present you with an even better quality of life.

Keep the faith.

Because you’re stepping up and with that comes the bittersweet yet magical process of transformation

Lesson learned this year!

2017 hasn't been the kindest of years for us...Rich was out of work more often than he was - through no fault of his own - just circumstances beyond our control and plain old bad luck...we've had huge financial stress...which lead to huge emotional and relationship stress - we almost gave up and walked away...we took our frustration and anger out on each other - we became strangers filled with hate when what we needed most was love and support from each other...
I have cried...i have been angry...my anxiety has been crippling at times...i have given up on myself and lost the little bit of self-belief that I had - the self-belief that my awesome husband helped build up in me...
I have found some truly amazing friends...but i have also lost some people who i thought were good friends...i gave too much - i put my time and energy into people and things that didn't serve me or my own headspace - i lost a big part of me...
Now it is time for me - and for Rich and I - and for our family to reconnect and find the love and laughter that we had...and I know that the lesson I had to learn from this was that my family and me must always come first...I cannot give to others if I don't give to myself first...
My marriage is rock solid - we just lost our way for a bit...
I am so truly blessed to have 2 amazing kids who have grown up to become pretty damn awesome human beings...
I have great friends - true friends...
And I have a job that is both challenging and rewarding - but also fun...
I may have lost my way for a bit but life is an adventure...a journey that is filled with twists and turns...and I can scream a million times 'Why me?'...but the answer will always be the same...because life happens - it's whether we choose to give up or come back fighting that matters....
I get knocked down BUT I get up again - every time - life is too precious to stay down...
Here's to a positive and happiness filled 2018 😘

Often when a person has/is suffering with depression they show 2 sides...the outward, smiling side when around others and the depressed, overwhelmed and painful side behind closed doors...all too often a very depressed person searches for a way to end their pain and when the decision to su***de is made they can become a different person - they have found their solution - much like trying to solve a problem such as trying to find a place to live and the relief you feel when you finally find the perfect place (*I don't mean to be flippant in this example - just a simple example of the thought process) All the stress and worry is gone...and the answer becomes clear - a depressed person feels that relief and may appear happy and relaxed. I have heard this story many, many times from shocked and heartbroken family and friends...DEPRESSION has no one face - this is why it is important to check on your friends and family...keep in touch so you can look for signs...but also understand that it is no-ones fault...do not blame yourself or fall into the 'if only' trap - if only i dropped around for coffee, if only i called that day etc. Depression is a tricky and unpredictable illness - it does not discriminate...ir does not have a book of rules - it is what it is...so check in with friends...listen...support and be kind to them and yourself...

Some days I see the gold flecks showing..... some days I see the cracks...... it's great to know the uniqueness is there even when I may not see it. Hopefully others see the gold in me when I am unable to do so for myself...
