💜Me💜

I struggled silently, I struggled then and I struggle now. We all struggle just in different ways and at different times. I learned that for me, medication wasn't what I wanted.... So I stopped. Instead I found therapy in creating things or going for long interrupted walks, listening to music or simply reading a book. 

I made a promise to myself to never go back to those darker days. I promised to look after myself more. I promised myself to go with the flow and acknowledge if I'm not feeling '100% myself'. I promised to relax and stay true to myself. I promised and vowed to love myself. It doesn't happen over night. It may take months or it may take years, but I now know who I am.

I'm Nikki, a mother to one and a partner to the most amazing man on this earth. We have a dog who we treat like another child and we live for our family time. I love paper crafts , music, reading, long walks and gardening. That is me. I suffer with postnatal depression. I cry at things I have no understanding as to why but that's part of me. I'm loved and I love in return. I like things organized and structured. I rush all the boring daily tasks to ensure I have enough time in the evenings with my family. That is me. 

                    💜This is me, all of me💜

                     💜I love being me💜

If you have Amazon music download 'yoga relaxation waves' to help relax and clear your mind. 

                  Have a fabulous weekend!

A little gesture during lockdown 🥰

Good evening all, hope your all well and staying safe. 

I just wanted to stop by and post something I have participated in recently. 

A post popped up on a group I'm part of on Facebook, asking if people could kindly send a handmade birthday card to a mature lady who lives alone and has been in lockdown due to covid. I immediately replied asking for an address for this lady and look at the outcome. 😍

We should all try and make special occasions cards and post them rather than a quick txt or social media posts, it just means so much more and it's so personalised. Why not try this whilst were all still in lockdown, im sure the receiver will have a smile on their face 😊.

           🌞   Enjoy the rest of your evening  🌞
