A Place to Start

This first post is by no means the beginning of my story, but it's a place to start. It's about me today and why I decided to create this blog.

Today I am in a happy place. My life is great. I have a beautiful family, awesome friends and so much to look forward to. I am filled with enthusiasm for all the small things that make life worth living.  And together with my family I have big dreams for the future.  But that hasn't always been the case. I did lose my way for many years. I mourned for what I didn't have rather than celebrating what I had. I held on to pain as if it were my lifeline and in the process I became not just sad but depressed and angry. What choice did my body have but to give in to illness? None. And that in itself is fuel for several posts alone.

Since I started releasing the pain from my past and forgiving myself and others for that pain I have changed a great deal. All for the better. My little family has grown in strength to become a formidable team able to conquer any challenge The Universe decides to send our way. Each new challenge is met with a confidence I had never known before.

This blog has come about because yesterday I met an inspirational naturopath who is going to teach me and mentor me on my journey to holistic health. After chatting for 15 minutes about why I was there to see him he told me that I "need" to write a book to help people find the courage to face their own challenges as I have faced mine. To help them believe it is never too late to turn it around and find happiness and health in life.

Not knowing how to start on such a massive task as a book I decided to start with a blog and see where it goes.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.
