January 2018


God new year new me has never been more apt. I have loved this month. Good things have been happening and its so fantastic! Something I could never say about 2017.

I left the prawns and my gang, I was so sad to leave as I felt I was just getting started, but I was so ready to restart the teaching adventure. What a difference a nice school environment can make. I love this new school, absolutely love it. I feel freedom there, security, wanted and no one is shouting at me every five minutes. My feedback is positive with areas and suggestions to improve, theres no 'you're disappointing the children' here. Even if I don't pass because I'm not good enough, I'll cherish this time for helping me remember why I love working with kids and for giving me my confidence back.

January has been a month for me to also adjust once again to something my dad did, you might have seen my post on sober alcoholics, I've come to the conclusion over 2017 and especially now, I just can't have people in my life that drain me, and he is one of them. I will always love him but I can't abide him or like him or any of his actions anymore. I am tired of being the one to manufacture a relationship and it's up to him now. I'm out, and for my own mental health and wellbeing, I think that's for the best.

and January marks the fact that I am going on the big travel adventure next month! The 26th Feb cannot come quick enough. My plan is to do mini blog posts on the countries and big cities I visit (provided wifi is ok!) and answer some of the questions I have and can't find answers for!

Short and sweet but what a positive month, bring on February

Sober Alcoholics


It's been nearly three years since my dad decided to get plastered, attempted to drive home from his factory but instead plowed himself into a load of parked cars and got himself arrested. The day before his birthday. It marked a seismic shift in our family and our relationship with each other.
