I’m not ready to share more of myself than my story. This blog won't include selfies or names. But if you want to use your imagination to wonder who I am, here’s the best way I can describe myself:
I'm a creative. I’m always working on something I find beautiful or fulfilling. There is always a next step to take and patience is key to progress.
I’ve travelled extensively and lived in a lot of cool places and I'm desperately thirsty for more, but my focus is at home and grounding myself for the time being.
I don't seek pleasure as much as I do joy and adventures, but nothing gives me more pleasure than hearing my children laugh or having a deep and meaningful over a meal, or walk’n’talk with friends.
My favourite thrills are galloping through fields and skiing blindingly fast.
Wherever possible I cook from scratch, fresh is always best.
I make a point in investing in myself and learning every day. I surround myself with teachers and I’m learning as I go with motherhood, especially to non-typical kids. I like to fix and build things. I get frustrated when I can't figure things out for myself, but master things at lightning speed when shown. I pay forward and pass that knowledge on.
I love my family, my friends, and my animals deeply. I love music, film, storytelling, helping people, good coffee and bold flavoured food. I love wide open spaces and big skies. I love to dance, I mean really dance, till dawn if I can. I love buying people books and suggesting people they should connect with. I love sending random song links to people because I think it reminds me of them or it would give them a much needed pick-me-up. If you really match my vibe, I will make you a bespoke playlist.*
I wear big earrings and bold clothes, they are an extension of me, an art form, a way to physically express creativity and mood. I’ve been known to change several times in one night at house parties. I also am not great at packing light if I'm going to a city with endless possibilities, I morph into a slightly bohemian version of Carrie Bradshaw. Nomadic adventures however, I'm happy with a backpack and a charging block.
I don't love dental treatment. Nor do I like tea, cheese or peas, rather unBritish of me. I've been known to change toilet rolls (that are placed the wrong way against the wall) around in peoples houses. (Yes, there is a correct direction, which was a patented design, check it out, google is your friend there)
I text a lot. I’m trying to get better at calling and voice notes, but I don't like the sound of my own voice, but I'm going to accept all the parts of myself I haven't loved for a while.. My handwriting is mostly illegible and my to do lists look more like spider maps than neat bullet points.
I try to see the best in people, but I also don't suffer fools or fake friendships. You’ll know if I’m your friend or not. My heart is always on my sleeve.
I appreciate my privacy and despite a bubbly personality can be quite introverted.
I sometimes can't deliver a joke because I’m laughing too hard at it.
I’m generous, warm and slightly nuts. But that’s me and I don't know how to be anyone else.
I’m a virgo.
*luckily some of these are on my Spotify account here You’ll get a pretty good picture of me from that.
