Although my more personal experiences have been adapted into my blogs, my aim has always been to try to reduce my stress and live a more peaceful life. I am passionate about health and wellbeing too.

With so many things that I’ve had to deal with over the last year, it helps to write about my personal experiences. It has been my more personal blogs that have pretty much got me through what I have had to deal with.

Whilst I continue to write about my personal experiences, I will also be writing about health and wellbeing topics that affect us all. Tomorrow’s post will be the first of a number of topics I hope to write about over the forthcoming weeks and months.

  1. I think it helps others that may deal with the same things you have dealt with; to relate to someone else helps at times. Looking forward to the future posts.
