“Cherry Mistmas”

Being off work while coming off one medicine and going on to a bunch of others, dosing up down, up, down is not fun, it’s wild.

For anyone out there who has had mental struggles, been on a forced leave of absence with no purpose, no routine, no connection. I see you. What a challenge it is, to be with oneself whilst ill.

Yet, this blog has been so cathartic and a positive part of my recovery. I’m so stupidly grateful for all of you that take the time to read it. It has been a lifeline.

To feel connected to my students and their families. To stay connected to my theatre family and family overseas has been lovely.

So the good news is, I’m beginning to feel WAY better. Small steps but gorgeous, happy skippy ones!

I still have so much to offer the world, I think. I still have so much stuff in my crowded brain that I want to share with kids to help them move forward in their careers and lives…and this bloggy thing gives me an outlet.

You see, I’ve experienced alot and truly want to impart whatever wisdom (and cynicism) that has been gifted to me through my hardships and successes.

I really don’t think I know more than everyone else, I just feel what I do know might be helpful to youngsters. So I write.

Anyway, this is just a little blurb to thank you all. You’ve been a real source of comfort.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and enjoy however you celebrate.

Enjoy time with family and know that I’m really bloody grateful. You’re all terrific. Here’s to 2023 being a truly new beginning, can’t wait!

P.s. Here’s a pic of me and my Mum, is it any wonder that I’m a nutter. (She is also the reason I am resilient).
