HOW ARE YOU?
Woke up so late today, if there is one thing I'm good at, that is sleeping. My god, I'm the modern Sleeping Beauty. I mean, I couldn't sleep last night, and here's a little story time as to why...
I am having a mini operation tomorrow on my left hand. It has had a piece of cactus in it for around 15 years. It happened when I was living in Spain, and I was with my first boyfriend. We were arguing, and there was a cactus to the left side of me as I was speaking passionately with my hands. My left hand smashed into this cactus that had massive needles, and they are so sharp and very long & hard. One of them went into my finger; it was so painful I passed out. I woke up with it still in my finger! NOW you're probably thinking, T, why didn't you get it looked at and taken out... well, the answer to that is I DON'T KNOW, but my life at the time was dark. I was in a toxic relationship, my family was falling apart. I didn't know what I was doing and was in the middle of planning a move back to England, so it was forgotten about very quickly. Anyways, fast forward to now! Every time I look at my hand and see it (the lump), I am reminded of him and the situation, and it was only this year that I had space in my mind to think ''it's time to sort it.'' I'm nervous but also can't wait! urgh, It's not going to be nice, and I pray I can use my hand straight away because I'm straight back on the grind the next day! So yeah, a little storytime on that - I can't wait to look at my hand, and if there is a scar, I'll be fine with that and the new story it holds. Im thinking something along the lines of - I can choose the change I want. Moving forward is key!
I just had a moment of "I'm so lucky I had the courage to leave him." When I was leaving him, I left with no idea what the road ahead would be or look like, but I always had this thought: "IT HAS TO BE BETTER THAN THIS." When I left and entered single life with the complete unknown... wow, my life... it was very painful and uncomfortable. But my GOODNESS, did I need to go through all that I did. I wasn't just healing from him, but that's another storytime. I am proud! So proud of me! Never settle, my Lovers.
Anyways im heading to the gym, im off to meet Mr GYM! i hope you have a beautiful day & you take a moment to love up on yourself and the ones you love too!
Nothing but Love.

This year, my friendships have blossomed into something truly beautiful, this year has hit different out of all my years of friendships with women. 2025 has shown me the magic of making time for each other, even with the busiest of schedules. Despite the chaos of life, somehow we have still found time for each other — coffees, late-night chats, belly laughs the dam lot. Grateful for my girls, for the love we share, and for the way we lift each other up — always.
Nothing but Love.
