In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.



The month is ending soon, with love I greet everyone.

Today my heart is happy and full.

I used to be a really positive person but life has got a way of knocking the positivity out of you when you spend every single day in survival mode. When your already struggling to simply buy food, heat your home, clothes your kids anything extra can tip the balance and I have a bad habit of snowballing and spiralling and catastrophising. Its definitely affected my mental health over the last few years.

The past few weeks have been HARD, with the cold weather and then relationship difficulties and personal struggles and I was spiralling into self destruction again.

That was until I was given the opportunity to write an article on how low income families are affected by the cold weather. I was proud to be given the opportunity to write it. on the back of the published piece , members of the public have taken notice and have started to donate to local charities who help kids in poverty.

I was feeling pretty grim, a bit like a scrounger always having to borrow from one thing to pay another. Having to constantly say no to the kids wanting money for things, having to access food banks etc. But knowing that people have donated to charities on the back of what I wrote has made me feel a bit more worthy? If that makes sense.

Anyways it made me feel good so I'm very grateful today.

Hey 👋 Doing okay today weather is still okay not that cold we went out of the house me and my baby.

Today was my very happiest day ever I am so thankful for the changing reality. That the programme of finding the better the single parents. Today was my 1st day to receive my voucher. It really helped I went to buy the nappies in wipes in bread. Or I'm the happiest mother ever. It makes my day. My baby sleepy, I cannot think I'd let my baby stay within it before very long time like 4 hours because I'm afraid that's the nap you will be finished at least now I can afford to buy nappies.
