DSY & DSY’s

How intertwined, how seperate…. One of the most common phrases I've heard is "You are your brand" and I agree, but there's also an element of anonymity and privacy that I want. So far, on social media I have intentionally tried to keep my business page separate to me personally as it’s intended to be …

Small pause, big gratitude.

I woke up this morning, took and deep breath out, and shed a few tears… A short moment of gratitude and to tell myself how proud I am of me. Something I don’t do often at all. It’s not either of the children’s first day at school today however it is the first day of …

Mental health/illness and the Black community.

So.. I have just spent the last few hours writing a personal statement for a job application (Something I feel I'm actually getting better at) to find that I missed the deadline by an hour. 😦 I was impressed with some of what I wrote though - not often, lol - so thought I'd share …

Hey, mama.

I wrote this some time ago, as usual, like many of my other pieces - I was unable to post at the time. The last few weeks have been a lot. A whole contrast of feeling overwhelmed and constantly tired, to super proud of myself and how I have managed. Speaking to professionals, meeting new …

The lonlier road, may be the only road.

Ash turns 13 💖

I want to take a moment to talk about this little girl. She is literally the making of me. The journey from conception to present day, not one moment I can describe as easy. When the creator blessed me with her, it was a signal that it was time for me to grow in ways …
