...Stephie currently the "right" side of 40, unintentional alphabet diagnosis collector, proud as punch Yorkshire lass, all year round spooky bitch with a nature based outlook on life.
I'm a mam of two, bonus mam of two from my delightful Scotsman of a partner and a dog mam of two cheeky labradors.
I am polyjamourous but generally you will find me listening to punk, pop punk, ska, psychobilly, indie and nu metal. My new favourite is Latvian punk and general Euro punk I may only be able to work out the odd word but it's fab; people look at me weird but do most of us understand Rammstein? No we probably don't but does it stop us? Again nope!
I don't really have the attention span for TV but I enjoy crime dramas, murder mysteries, cooking shows, gardening programmes and comedy. I'm a DC over Marvel fan, but I'm a massive LOTR and Sci-Fi and fantasy fan. Big up the escapism!
I'm an avid reader when the mood strikes and you will often find me reading crime dramas, thrillers, fantasy and non fiction books. My favourite series' are Discworld, LOTR et al and Wallander.
I am not particularly good but I like attempting new crafts particularly knitting, crochet, cross stitch and embroidery. I really need to go through my stash and get rid of things I'll never use.
I also love being out in nature and going on hikes when up to it which has been few and far between over the last 14 months which makes me really sad, although I did manage one of the smaller Wainwrights last year. I am also getting back into gardening over the coming months.
For the past 3 years I have been writing an e-book on how nature specifically trees can help your mental health, but then something extremely traumatic happened to me and my whole world just stopped. I was unable to keep working, barely leaving the house specifically on my own. and all executive function just upped and left with a vengeance. However I'm trying to change that one tiny intentional step at a time.
Mental health teams haven't been able to help as effectively as they had hoped as it's as they say "situational" so this year I've decided to be more intentional with my time; doing things that make me happy, increase my confidence and self worth by reminding myself I'm not useless and at times push me out of my comfort zone. This will be a diary of what I'm up to even if it's just for myself to remember I'm worth investing in.
I hope that as this blog grows you will follow along and be encouraged to be more intentional with your time. Remember stay rooted, let go, you're doing enough.
