Life forever moves forward:

 14 years ago, I never dreamed I'd be walking again, albeit with a stick!


Life throws some hardships at us all, but it's what we do after we fall, what we do after we hit rock bottom, we claw and we climb and we drag ourselves out of the pits life throws us in.


I'm grateful and thankful for the opportunity to walk with my stick these days and for the private clinic that allows this to happen by providing me much needed pain management medication to be able to walk on a dislocated pelvis. Thank you!


Everyday is still a battle with my body and I have a cold at the moment so I have no choice but to rest, but I'm still thankful and grateful for all of the wonderful memories I've been able to make with friends, family and my son since fighting my way out of the darkness!


I don't expect anything from anyone, I don't want pity, I don't want external validation or judgement, I just simply share my story so others going through similar things can know they're not alone and that others who are never heard, or listened to, know I'm here to lend an ear with a non-judgemental and safe space in my heart.


We all need safe spaces to be able to speak up about what we've endured and survived, and this world is adamant on silencing and punishing people without doing actual investigations, just running with assumptions and lies, and it needs to stop.


I got some good news recently, I managed to get a job interview at a disability charity so we will just have to wait and see if I'll be an asset to them yet.


Life goes on, aslong as you never quit, you will always win! 


Keep going!


There's more good to come yet!

It's a slap in the face for the disabled...

  ...when councils share and promote diversity and disability inclusion and awards when they themselves are abandoning and discriminating against disabled people. These deserve the award and have done amazingly but the way the council shares this news seems like they want to 'appear' like they care and support disabled people when in reality they don't. I responded: So why have they forgotten about the neurospicy and disabled individuals using the do it online form for Durham County Council? There needs to be a check box for the council to call people back if they're on the assistance list.  It's not hard to attach a check box that would automatically add a call back to the most vulnerable customers of bulky waste. I'm currently being discriminated against and can't do anything about it, if I get a fine I'm going to the news about the council taking my money and abandoning me with bulky waste cause I'm mobility impaired and can't move it a few in

Sad times at the RVI.

I got triggered today from this memory: When my bairn had leukemia, we were coming back from the hospital with all the fun things he created with his mam. Social services need reprimanded for their complete chaotic and sadistic behaviour and corruption but my son is healthy and alive and well now. They prevented me from seeing him in hospital then LIED to the court judge with cleverly worded paragraphs that would not explain that it was THEIR fault and instead implied we didn't care. I was LIVID!  I missed out on so much after being newly diagnosed with a disability myself and ending up in a wheelchair, and I had lost my business and everything, but that wasn't enough for the UK system. They had to harm this family and I believe in karma and the universe and my son KNOWS the truth and knows he is loved even if it did cause a divide in the family and my brother is estranged. People really do run with assumptions and SANDRA BARLOW if you're reading this you had no right to li

Life is complicated and definitely for living:

~New Chapters~ Connor has been a great support to me and we've had a lot of deep soul searching talks where we are working together on making our lives better. We've clashed and made mistakes but we're working together towards a more positive and brighter future for us both. I'm not easy to deal with sometimes, I struggle with my disabilities and have CPTSD etc and Connor has ADHD (which I also likely have) and having talked about the way we get hyper fixated etc we have found better ways of getting one another's attention so neither of us feel so alone or ignored. We both love one another and we've both been working on our own mental health and boundaries. So far I think we've had a lot of lessons learned and we can start again from a place of deeper understanding. That's what's important. I know I don't have to write or say anything but I know a lot of people that care about me may feel the need to be outspoken about this choice, please remembe
