I was super lucky and very grateful to receive an Apple Watch for my birthday. I know that it brings a few cons (it’s another thing I need to remember to switch off at times) yet after just a few weeks I am also realising quite a few benefits especially on my physical health and emotional well-being….🚶 It’s encouraging me to walk… and talk more. 💥 I set a goal a few weeks ago that I would like to hit at least 10k steps per day. This watch keeps me posted on progress. At 7pm last night I hadn’t quite met that goal so I went for a spontaneous walk. That actually led me to walk another 5k. 📱 On...
YOU ARE UNIQUE AND IT IS WONDERFUL. Thomas is 7 years old and last weekend we spent at least 9 hours together in the car driving to and from our happy place.

It hadn’t always been that way.Just one year earlier I didn’t even know if I should ever have children. I didn’t think I would ever be good enough. Years before Anxiety had been quite clever at convincing me I would fail. That fear had grown in me over several years and had got quite stuck.
