Putting yourself first

I'm currently on a sabbatical and it's been a real time of reflection. I've realised I was carrying a lot of stress and needed to practice self-love. It's vital if you're to live your best life.

I have been working with a lady who creates pamper packages and in the process I have developed a range of postcards for her with uplifting messages; a sample is shown above and it's challenged me to practice what I preach!

If you would like some postcards focussed on wellbeing, perhaps to send to a friend who is struggling or to put on your fridge as a reminder to take time out, get in touch. I can create bespoke ones for any occasion or message.

I've experienced a toxic work environment, redundancy, ill health dismissal and a huge reduction in hours for my husband due to ill health, but despite the odds my freelance business has thrived, I've secured a great part-time job and I've managed to keep a roof over our heads. Also my dad just came out of palliative care as he's doing so well. We are survivors us Mitchells (maiden name). Well, Jacksons too - my Mother-in-Law was just given an MBE for her charity she set up due to a really impossible situation when she was denied contact with her first grandchild. Life takes us through many ups and downs, particularly as someone with bipolar and menopause, but it's how you respond that counts. Just thought I'd share my musings. It's not very work-focused or insightful, but I thought you might like to ...

New website!

Finally I launch my new website which didn't take me long to make in the end. I now feel a shop front would be useful. Let's see shall we?! Find me here .
