I love to write, to be creative and to share my thoughts with everyone who is willing to listen or to read. I want to hear what others are thinking, what you want to read about. Tell me about your hopes, your wishes and your dreams.
I believe in hope, and working towards a better future. No matter what has happened to you, what you have experienced, there is hope within it.
I am writing my book, and this is my journey. There are so many adventures on the way, and I want you to join me on them. Watch the highs, and share the lows, because that is what life is about. Sharing everything, and learning how to get through it together.
Be kind, be constructive, and most of all be open minded. Everyone is welcome, I look forward to sharing my time with you all.

You Don’t Need A Name.
Domestic abuse can affect anyone, it is hard to talk about if you’ve experienced it yourself, but hearing first hand how it can make you feel can also give someone strength, hope, courage and the power to take a step needed. However, reading about someone’s experiences can also be quite upsetting or traumatic for others, … Continue reading You Don’t Need A Name.
