A dedicated mother, a supportive friend, daughter and sister. Along the way I have lost touch with me. As 2012 crept forward I could not help but look back at my journey so far. I welcome you to join me, on my journey ahead, while I step out of the comfort zone of mummy and become acquainted with me.

Procrastination keep out!
I am on a role, I feel like I have been roller skating effortlessly whilst completing tasks today. I spent a bit longer on things I could of left until tomorrow, however I always tend to do this and end up procrastinating! So in an attempt to break this cycle, I kept it moving, whilst singing and now I am quite content with all I have achieved. I think I will write a new to do list for tomorrow... After a bit of quality time with my children and cup of camomile tea. Rome was not built in a day.
A peak of my heart.
Greater is in me.
If I can truly grasp and believe this, then I can achieve anything. Like a butterfly I hide in my cocoon, awaiting the time to show off my captivating colours and fly, however unlike a butterfly I lack the confidence to leave my cocoon, when all around me shows me that I am ready. I cling to my safety net and close my eyes dreaming of my great escape, dreaming of that someone who will save me. The truth is, I can only save myself and the question is, when will I deem myself worthy of this freedom? The silent voice within me shouts out 'I am here!' But I and the people around me just ignore her. Why do I exist? What is my purpose? And where did this lack of confidence come from? I know a part of the answer. My lack of confidence is from past hurts. The rest I am still exploring on this journey. I have played a part in some of the downward spirals of my life, as I have allowed people to steal my dreams, my loves and what was once the happy go lucky me, but no more. As I sit it this room typing away in this still moment, I want to unleash, take a risk, run outside and truly shout "freedom is mine." I want to laugh hard and sincere from the pit of my stomach. I want joy to spill over my cup and fill me with every sip I take. I want to awaken and live the life my inner voice has been shouting about for years and what my dreams are made of. When I mean I am ready and not looking back, at this moment I mean it. This lady that has taken over my life and tried to make the best out of it, with what she could, including the tears and drama, who has nurtured my children and kept my mind sane. I thank you and love you. I am stronger and ready to come out of my cocoon now.

Approaching the tail end of thirty...
Excitement is pending for my up and coming birthday. The years have flown by, so fast in fact I had to press the pause button today for some light reflection. My children are older but not old enough for me and my bestie to go on the cruise we keep talking about. After a deep breath and a sip of camomile tea... I can jump this hurdle! I am going to spend the day pampering myself for a change and being thankful for my precious children, supportive family and arriving at such a fruitful age in one piece. Hopefully, I will still feel the same on the day x
