It was supposed to be my year...2020 is the year of the Rat in the Lunar Calendar. I started the year with a very optimistic outlook, then - all hell broke loose!

It's been an interesting year! Filled with challenges, celebrations, covid lockdowns and everything in between...

So I was looking for some inspiration today and decided to Google “Midlife”....

Weekends are supposed to be for relaxing, switching off and doing all the things we enjoy doing, but that’s just not happening!

"Don't call but I'm sick" - words every mother dreads to hear. Then I discover that my son has no first aid kit at home.

I’ve decided that I needed to read more; and I don’t mean scrolling through Facebook and Instagram but actually read….books! I know reading is important and we could wax lyrical all day about how important it really is, whatever age we are.

Well that’s it, I’m officially on the brink of being old! Well at least as far as my body is concerned anyway. I’ve recently had a blood test and the results were certainly not in my favour.

What on earth happened? I’m pretty sure I was just celebrating New Year 2018 and in a flash the year has gone and I’m about to ring in 2019!
