Life doesn't have to stop when you have chronic pain. I am in pain when I travel but I love doing it, and it helps me grow as a person. I've also made some life changing decisions when I've travelled - the space and time away from our daily lives and routine can do wonders … Continue reading A future holiday destination
Well my first week of Blogtober is complete. Getting organised with my posts has been vital and I'm grateful for all the likes and comments I've had, so thank you. This second week begins with my day 8 post and is about a skill I want to learn. I would love to learn to play … Continue reading A skill I want to learn
I was originally diagnosed with coccydynia. This literally means a pain in this coccyx area. I've had my coccyx removed but I still suffer from chronic pain. In day 7 of my Blogtober challenge, I share an interesting fact with you about my chronic pain. A fact about my chronic pain I'm one of the … Continue reading A fact about my chronic pain
I don't usually write or talk about things I'm good at. I suppose you could say that this means I'm good at modesty, but I'm not sure that is a good thing all the time - we should be encouraged to talk more about stuff we are good at; in the right way without showing … Continue reading Something I’m good at

Instead, I like to think about what I like about each season, … Continue reading My favourite things about autumn
What is Blogtober? Blogtober is a challenge where bloggers publish a post every day in October. That's 31 posts in 31 days. It sounds simple, but it's quite a commitment.

Yesterday marked my one year Blogiversary. Wow! I've been blogging for one year. That still sounds surreal as it only feels like yesterday that I set up my little blog project and started writing posts about my life with chronic pain. Generally, I start new things but don't stick to them. But with my blog, … Continue reading Happy 1 year Blogiversary to me: what I’ve learned and achieved in my first 12 months of blogging
Out of every ending comes a new beginning. I was gutted (so bloody gutted) when my favourite blogging Facebook group, Big Up Your Blog, closed it's doors and ceased to exist.
