How, when you have depression, do you find the light in the day? I have no idea to that question. I am only me. The glass is half-empty me. The “some days it’s hard to live” me. I find life really really hard. So hard in fact I became a raging alcoholic. Raging might be…

One Word Wednesday {Serenity}
This little prayer has saved me. Many times. It reminds us that we are not always in control. That many things happen to us in the course of a day that we are not able to manipulate to our bidding and that, simply, we should just let them go. As a recovering alcoholic, this prayer…
Operation Sarah is a go
I have never been one for self improvement of the body. It’s true. Now self improvement of the mind, that I could sink my teeth into. But body improvement? Not for me. Of course, this stance was just a guise for “I can’t be arsed to move my body”. And this attitude led to me…
Favourite Five Friday {Bedroom Decor}
Yay, yay, it’s Friday. Well, this was meant to be written yesterday. I started yesterday with good intentions, but, you know, life gets in the way. So this is being offered to you today, Saturday. Hopefully next week I’ll get my act right and manage to post on the right day. HA! I love…
One Word Wednesday {Home}
Have a wonderful evening, Much love,
Creativity – the cure-all for feeling crap

I ate like a sugar-crazed demon yesterday. Not one shrapnel of goodness passed my lips. It was all danishes, tim…
HALT – you need to take care of yourself
When I became sober, one of the things I learned at AA was an acronym called HALT. It stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. These are the things that can be the death knoll for the recovering alcoholic. Those things that put our sobriety at risk. I have learned that the same applies to…
Pictures of me hang upon the wall for the world to see
“What is wrong with you? You are so grumpy!” Mr C’s words sting me. Mostly because they are true. I am grumpy. This is what I hate about depression. The emotional roller coaster. It sucks. For a couple of days I have been travelling really well. I have had hope. I have dared to…
And then there was light
You know how yesterday I was telling you about Darren Rowse and how he inspired me to at least think about dreaming again? Well, today I made a visit to Mr C. Today was an extended stay because Master J had started the first day of term 4 which meant I could just kick back…
