I was exhausted.
Three years of negotiating a financial settlement with my ex, while trying to process my emotions and the loss of my dreams and the belief that love would always win.
Three years of crisis and trying to prove to everyone that I could do this. Run my own business. Look after myself.
During this time, many people supported me in many different ways. Some were rooting for me silently. Some spent time with me. Some created opportunities. Some had more treatments than strictly necessary.
I wanted to thank everyone and organised a short gratitude ritual.
On the day, there was a storm. Rain was pelting down. The sky was almost black. Then - a rainbow.
A reminder that no matter how bad the storm, there are, at the same time, moments of light and magic.
Remember there is always more than survival. Try to be the light for someone today.
