Divorce and Divine Intervention. Why my husband leaving me was the best thing that happened! Ten years ago today my husband walked out on my son and I. Ten years ago my world completely shattered around me. Ten years ago I slipped into despair. Ten years ago I started a journey that would see me transform my life to the beautiful landscape it is now. The wonder that is Facebook, showed me my status from the day in question. I’m, not one for airing dirty laundry on social media. But I made a short and succinct post, because, quite frankly what the hell was I supposed to do? That night we’d arranged with my Mum to have a night off, child free. She came and picked up Harley at about 6:30pm. Harley went happily off with his Nanny and my husband and I sat down to discuss what we would do that night. Things were totally normal. I fired up our computer and posed the question of getting a take away for dinner. That’s when he pulled up a chair from...

This week I've realised that I am NOT OK.... Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok, Im not ok. I may look ok to the outside world but I'm not ok. I may look like I've got my shit together, but, I'm not ok. I may have a wonderful Art business & just launched my new colouring pages, but, I'm not ok. I've got a wonderful fiance and two beautiful children, all of them I love more than myself. Im not ok. I've got a lovely home, living in a great area, opposite from my best friend,but, I'm not ok. It's ok to not be ok. It doesnt mean Im not entirely grateful for all of the great things and people in my life. The people in my life are wonderful, amazing and make me happy to be alive. They are the ones who help me get up each day, they give me strength to push forward when I'm not ok. I'm still not ok though, OK? I'm still fighting a long battle in my head. I fight with myself about whether I c...

This is something that really gets on my nerves! I get so cross when I see it on tv, social media or in the 'real world' someone saying they 'are so OCD'! Gah! Why, oh why, do people feel its ok to use it as an adjective? I mean you and I know its not...right? You don't go around saying 'oh god i feel so bad, I'm totally cancerous' Nope you dont nobody says it!  'Oh my gosh Im soooo in an anaphylactic shock right now? ( my son is allergic to peanuts) Leukemic? Diabetic? Motor Neurone Diseased?  Nobody says these words as an adjective because...well, it's just plain rude and ignorant isn't it!? This is the kind of nonsense I see on social media ALL the time! I think one of the biggest culprits is... THE MEDIA. (Not all media, but sadly the most predominant offences are made by mainstream tv) It's the media's portrayal, I'm sure someone just started it for a laugh but what they've actually created is a Mo...

Today I'm feeling 'Uh' I don't totally know why either. Well maybe I do... I think its probably a mixture of things, like  its that time of the Moon phase for me, so my stomach feels pregnant with 10 kids, my back is breaking, my hips have gone Kapput and I think I'm just going through some shifts after my psychology appointment last week. I don't like feeling this way, I really quite fancy hiding in a hole, or just under my duvet, reading books and hiding out, I'll build a fort and do some colouring.  I'll make a mess that I don't have to clean up...ah that's bliss I reckon, right there...not having to clean up all the mess in the house!  I'm a bit bored of being an adult at the moment, my soul wants to shine the way a child's does.   I watch my beautiful kids and see the joy they see in the world, I need more of that in my life.  www.lizzmears.com What am I on about?... I have that in my life...
