Writing about what I’ve had to deal with means it would be inevitable that I would feel like this. I have had to work through and climb mountains to get to this stage.
Over the next few weeks, months and beyond, through my writing, I will start looking at ways to incorporate wellness and keep …

Read on »Our daily lives, together with past emotions leave us open and more vulnerable to more stress and illness.
