One day I will set up a retreat in the countryside where women can come to heal. Originally my intention was to create a space for women to come and heal from trauma, I think most people are somewhat traumatised after the pandemic, but now I would like to create a safe space where women can come and heal from trauma and DCIS. I have encountered so many woman throughout my DCIS journey so far who feel lost and very alone. Many of them instinctively feel they don’t want to have mastectomies and toxic radiation when it may not be necessary, but because it’s the only treatment offered to them, and their families and friends are pressuring them to have surgery, they feel very isolated and don’t know where to turn. My dream is to provide a place in the countryside where women can come for support, for any kind of trauma.
To meditate and do yoga and eat healthy food, spend time in nature planting things and walking dogs and feeding chickens and watching eggs hatch 🐣
That’s how I spent my childhood, (minus the meditation), and it’s where I would like to return to. I feel truly blessed that I have such an amazing childhood experience of growing up on a smallholding with animals being born left right and centre, it’s truly is a magical thing ✨
I will create a space where people can feel safe, to think and talk and bond with one another, or find peace in solitude if that’s what they need.
I believe helping people is my purpose in life. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember, and have worked in the care sector for a large part of my life, it’s my default setting and I find it incredibly rewarding.
I believe we are ultimately capable of anything we set our minds to. The only limits are those we put upon ourselves.
Tonight is a full moon, and a very rare full moon. It’s a blue super moon 🌑
It will be a sight to behold tonight ✨
I will be doing a ritual this evening, identifying what I’m ready to let go of from my life and close the door. I will write them down, then burn them in the moonlight. And on another piece of paper I will write down the things I’d to bring into my life, and I will keep that piece of paper somewhere safe until the next full moon. Writing things down can be very powerful.

Here’s a blast from the past, my favourite band as a child, singing one of my favourite songs,
Blue Moon! 🥰
