I began this writing adventure as a means of therapy. I felt most of my life had been a struggle, a lot of things going wrong or just being hard work. My marriage included, I decided I wanted to unpack my life so far to make the mud a little clearer to me. As I wrote events unfolded around me and when I thought nothing more could be revealed something more was exposed.  

​

My upbringing was a little up and down. I’m the eldest in a large step-family and my biological mum was mentally unwell. I do like to think though that it was this beginning in life that taught me strength, resilience and a want to achieve more. My passion for dance always there as an outlet and beacon to set my sites for the better. My desire to protect and give my children a better life, a strong force to push me and make me continue every day.  I hope you find my story, although sad at times, inspirational. I hope it can inspire other women to get up everyday and take those steps, although hard, sad and lonely at times. Life doesn't need to be full of pain, lies, betrayal and abuse, with a little strength and determination, the other side of the rainbow isn't as far as you think xx
