It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live
You promised me you’d be there, to be a hand to hold. You promised you would help me when I couldn’t face the world. You promised you would love me when I couldn’t love myself.

Is it Monday? I am descending into madness. Quite literally though not as drastically as it sounds. A few weeks ago, I had a medication shift. I am on some pretty serious and strong medication to keep me on the straight and narrow. So any shift, no matter how small has me in a tizzy.... Continue Reading →

I don't know about anyone else but I find we're currently so caught up in the day-to-day, parenting, work and life in general we seem to slip apart from each other...... Continue Reading →
One year ago today, I stood under this gazebo and said my vows. Years of hardship and heartache delayed our wedding but we finally got there and had the day of our dreams. I can't believe a whole year has passed. Boy, it hasn't been easy but we have each other and that's enough. Because... Continue Reading →
Here in the UK, (and many other places, I'm sure) it was May Day which meant a lovely bank holiday Monday, the weather for once was on our side and I've spent such a pleasurable afternoon/ evening drinking cocktails with my husband. I could have come home, jumped in a nice relaxing bath and gone... Continue Reading →
The knife seemed to glow with some otherwordly light, clenched in her lover's fist she couldn’t take her eyes off of it. “Do you love me?” He cried, waving the knife in an arc that came perilously close to her face.
