About Me
Consultant for Mental Illness, Qualified Beauty Therapist, Mother, Wife. I have a terrific Husband Andrew and three wonderful Stepsons aged Joel 19, Hayden 18 & Shaun 16.I am passionate about life in general and making the world a better place. My main philosophy in life is "Nothing changes if nothing changes so if you don't like something in YOUR life then do what you can to change it".I am very pro-active in my approach to my mental illness and pride myself on keeping on top of things to the best of my ability. Having a supportive, nurturing and loving family makes a huge difference. Achieved my goal recently of rebuilding my marriage and re-enforcing the foundations. The love was always there however a few cracks had appeared and we are working on that together and will continue to do so to maintain the foundations. Effective communication and quality time are of uttmost importance within a marriage. I am grateful that we have been successful. One day at a time is where I am at, at the moment... I love, stability and harmony I blossom and thrive... My bipolar has been causing some problems lately with more the depressive side I am tired all the time and listless with no interest in anything.
