My current website has been so important to me and The CP Diary community. After 12 successful years I am excited to announce that in a few weeks’ time, we are upgrading the site, to give it a bold, clean and more modern feel.

The work starts on the 8th August and if all goes according to plan, the new site will go live on the 2nd September.

In a world that is now changed, in a world that is less straight forward, in a world that has become even more difficult to navigate, my blog brings understanding, acceptance, resolution, and hope on all the things we get to deal with.

If you haven't already connected with my blog, or if you haven't given mental health a thought, or a go and you would like to, it would be great to see you too.

To all my readers of my now blog, thank you for reading and to friends who respond on the blog, thank you for your responses... and for all your support. x
