So Much Gratitude!

What can I say… life has been challenging to say the least, this year. But things are really looking up.

I went through an ending of sorts, about 6 months back, and I felt really sad and alone.

But with endings, come new beginnings. And I’ve beginning to see the upshot of that now.

I have rekindled romance in my life, with someone that is very special to me. I have started a new job, which is full of juicy goodness. I am working in an area I am very passionate about (youth psychosis and recovery), and I am working with an amazing bunch of people who make me laugh every day.

I am moving to a great new apartment in south Perth soon, which is in an amazing location…. And will support a healthy, happy lifestyle. I have a new car (material things don’t necessarily always make you happy, but I’m totally loving it)! And I have a holiday in Bali to look forward to in November!

Going to Bali by myself is a stretch from my comfort zone, but I think it’s a timely reminder that I deserve good things and its ok to show yourself some love and care. And its ok to walk your own path!

I am also in a much better position financially. Still a work in progress, but I have been able to learn the art of budgeting and this means I am stressing less about money in general…. Which is amazing!

I also have had some great speaking opportunities and these opportunities still keep popping up from time to time, and my employer RUAH, is still in the process of finding funding to publish my memoir.

I am beginning to see that I am so incredibly blessed. And it’s important to recognize, that (as I said earlier in the year) life has seasons. And you’re not always going to like the particular season you are in…. but change always comes, and with change, brings blessings.

Who knew 8 years ago that with a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder came so many amazing and beautiful things!

SO MUCH GRATITUDE! xxx
