Sandra! I see you brave girl and I hear your desperate plea for help. You are battling darkness and holding on to the light in anyway you can. It’s been a tough week I know. I have watched the sleepless nights as you move uncomfortably from one position to another in unbearable pain. It is followed […]

As a matter of fact!
Blogtober day 18 wants 30 facts about myself… Brace yourself! 30 Facts about me… I don’t like spoons. The curve of a spoon against the bridge of my mouth really upsets my life. I can handle little tea spoons but anything bigger I tend to swap out for a fork. Ice cream = use a […]
It’s all written in the Zodiac!
Ok Blogtober is really getting my creative juices flowing today! It wants to know whether my Zodiac sign fits me or not. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change – Wayne Dyer It’s pretty fair to assume that there are two categories of people when it comes […]
Letters of love…
Blogtober day 16 asks “what do I miss? and there is one thing that instantly springs to mind. I miss handwritten letters delivered via good old fashioned ‘snail mail’! This generation have probably never heard the term ‘snail mail’ but it refers to letters carried by conventional postal services i.e. the local postman! There was […]
A day in the life of Sandra
Well hello Blogtober day 15 – What did I get up to today? AM Alarm goes off. I check/respond to any messages I have received throughout the night. Turn the portable heater on in my room as it’s still a bit chilly in the mornings. Go to the bathroom: Cleanse face and put skin serums […]

Counting my blessings

What if…
I try not to play the ‘what if game’ because it often feeds a hungry ‘Monkey Mind‘. But my daily writing prompt has asked me to share something I always think ‘What if’ about. I always think about the timing of things in life. What if Kirsty had walked a little slower/faster? Would she have […]
It’s ok to not be ok
What a day to ask me about something I feel strongly about! It is World Mental Health Day and I could talk about this all day! I have suffered from depression twice in my life. My first bout was brought on when I was going through some heavy stuff in life. I had a lot […]
Age old wisdom?
Today’s Blogtober is all about words of wisdom. Wisdom has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Nowadays people are beginning to glean words of wisdom from one social media platform to another. I personally think that wisdom is subjective. What works for one person may not work for another. Therefore I can […]

Henry Dog Warrior – My Inspiration
“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision” – Sir Winston Churchill Thank goodness Churchill chose courage over fear. It was that decision which ultimately led Britain to victory during the Second World War. I cannot imagine the kind of world we would be living in if he hadn’t. I can confidently reel off many […]
The madness of ‘Pet Peeves’
Most of us are familiar with the word ‘pet’: ‘an animal kept in the home as a companion’. The definition of the word ‘peeve’ means ‘to annoy someone’. Nobody sets out to own a pet if they know it is going to annoy them! So why the term ‘pet peeves’? According to Wikipedia, the term […]
