Welcome one and all to mon blog!
I’m going to put this out there right now – this blog is totally and completely full to the BRIM of me-ness and my ramblings. This means it’ll focus mainly around:
Being female, being a daughter, creativity , being a sister, being a friend, failing gloriously, being a wife, being a mummy (one day!), having depression, living with unexplained chronic pain, being angry, questions of faith, sex, food, alternative lifestyles, being a geek, music, films, being flipping messy….and everything in between. I also want to promise/warn you that I will try to be completely honest. And I mean, HONEST. So please don’t read this if you’d rather eat a rich tea biscuit and watch the world go by.
I’m thinking we start with a list of things that are in my head RIGHT NOW. This could be interesting. I said could. It’s not a guarantee.
Numero uno – I like making people laugh.
Two – Children are GOLD and should be treated with respect, love and understanding.
Three – I have three teapots and I don’t drink tea.
4 – Charity shops are IMPORTANT and they can change your life.
5ive – Feminism is not a dirty word.
Six – Life is about love. MY life is about love. And yours should be too. Jus’ sayin’.
7 – I sweat and cry more than the average sheila. NICE RIGHT. Don’t care.
8 – Be the change you want to see. Write the book you want to read. A third thing that rhymes.
9 – YOU. ARE. BEAUTIFUL.
10 – Barbecue spare ribs. Yep.
11 – I love Kung Fu movies.
Twelve – Embrace the paradox. Act in the face of overwhelm. Love people well. (Courtney Martin)
13een – I love to learn.
14 – I am way too emotional about food.
15 – Everybody poos. Yes you! You poo! And now everybody knows. Sorry.
So this is me.
Saying hi.
Over & out.
