Blogtember 2013: No Turning Back!

"Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn." 

In May last year, I took the holiday of a lifetime and went on a Trek America tour to parts of Canada and America (The Canadian Pioneer.) I had booked the holiday on the back of a really hard time in my life. Knowing that I needed to do something major to give me some perspective, I booked a holiday as epic and as far away as I could manage!


 It was honestly the best thing I could have ever done! 

Being out there gave me so much clarity and time to think about my life; where I wanted it to go and how I needed it to change. I grew stronger as a person and came back refreshed and ready to take on the world. 

I met some lovely people, did some crazy things, and laughed so hard that my stomach ached! We toasted marshmallows, drank wine, played stupid games, and survived a night in the wilderness with a pesky raccoon sneaking around. 

It was definitely the best decision I ever made to go on that holiday, and I don't think I'd be where I am today if I hadn't have gone. I am in such a good, positive and happy place just over a year on, and so much has changed, that it's hard to imagine I was ever the same person I was before I went away!

Happy May Day!



It's the 1st May today!! 

Happy May Day Everybody! 

I cannot believe how quickly this year is going. It seems like only yesterday that it was my 26th birthday and the UK was getting covered in snow, but now, I'm looking out my office window and all I can see is blue sky and sunshine (and houses.)

This year has been phenomenal so far. It has been filled with lots of fun times, and I have learnt so much about myself over the past 4 months. I feel stronger, more confident, and just really happy in general, especially when I think about the amazing friendships I have, and what an great support system there is behind me!

I had so much fun doing the A-Z Blog Challenge during April that I'm thinking about keeping up blogging every day. I'll have to have a ponder over it, because I think if I do keep it up,, there should be some structure to it instead of posting random things each day. 

What do you think? 



I'm a bit busy for the rest of the week now, but on Monday I'm going to post up some links to some of the fabulous blogs I discovered during the challenge. It was great being a part of a new community and uncovering new blog gems! 

This is just a bit of a chatty post. I felt in the mood to post something contemplative and uplifting  The sunshine always puts me in a contended, reflective mood!

Well done everybody who took part and completed the challenge!
