Secret to a happy life… always say sorry before bed 🤍

‘An act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers, especially by a character in a play.’

On this cold rainy day I’m reflecting. Getting caught in the rain isn’t so bad.🤍

Just a small {draft} passage from a character I have been building on for a while now.

This book has been written mentally for a while but putting it in paper is such a difficult process.

I’m only at the early stages but I already know this character is complex and wonderful and broken all at the same time which is why I have decided to build the story around her.

Stay tuned!

Every morning and every evening I have a mantra that I say to the boys. “You are special, you are loved. You are amazing. You are intelligent. When you are feeling sad and blue, always remember mummy loves you. Go to bed/school/XX knowing you are loved.”

It is something that always makes them smile and I just know it will stay with them- but I do wonder is it enough? I have always done this because I didn’t want them to have low self esteem and or say negative things about themselves. The funny thing is, if I heard my babies or people I care about saying some of the abhorrent things I have said about myself I would be mortified!

Self deprecation is something that has always been easy for me. I would rather do this than ever look at myself in a positive light.

I recently came across a video that talked about putting a picture of yourself as a child on your mirror and each time you find yourself thinking negative thoughts to go to the mirror and talk to that picture of baby you.

As crazy as it sounded at the time I gave it a go and as confronting as it can be it works. You just would never say those things to a kid, especially you as a kid. Simply having someone compliment you is lovely but not if you don’t truly believe it.

Give it a go- it takes time but it is powerful. I’m still a work in progress believe me, but as far as your own babies, or loved ones, I now know the best thing for their self esteem is to see you comfortable in your own skin. 🤍

Finding your voice as a writer is a crucial part of the writing process. But how do you gain the confidence as a writer once you have identified your style of writing?

For me, finding my voice as a writer was a difficult process. I simply did not want anyone to read what I was writing.

So. Much. Fear. What if they think what I’m writing is terrible? What if my style is not sophisticated enough? So many what if’s.

Then one day I realised who I was writing for. I was writing for me. If people like what I’m writing it’s a bonus! If they don’t that’s ok too!

So here’s to finding your voice in every sense of the word. 🤍

Turning over a new leaf and starting again…

In this season of life that I find myself in, writing has become the focus again.

Writing has always been my comfort, my way to understand the world and get through this thing called life.

There is so much beauty in the little things and writing encapsulates them.

Just as the seasons change and it gets colder, there is nothing more liberating than delving into a thought, a verse, a poem, and then putting pen to paper.

I invite you on this journey of mine as I navigate the rough waters and ride the waves of life through the written word 🤍
