7 Things About Me

1. Over the years I’ve suffered emotional, physical and sexual abuse. I’m not ashamed to admit it. Or talk about it.

3. I’ve been in recovery for four.

4. In 2004 I helped to save the life of a wonderful person, who still inspires me today. Though she probably doesn’t know it 🙂

5. I live in a bungalow which has been in my family for over 60 years.

6. I am very proud of my writing achievements.

7. I’m married to the most wonderful, supportive husband who I adore and have been for 15 years 🙂

I think finding 15 people I really enjoy engaging with has been difficult, not because there aren’t so many, because there are. I couldn’t pick or decide between everyone who has inspired me over the last few months.

Thanks to everyone who visits my blog, who spurs me on and more importantly offers support when things in life go a little pear shaped. 🙂 You are all wonderful people.
