I’ve been telling myself that the reason I’m not blogging at the moment is because I have something I really want to write about but don’t know how to write it, I’m still researching, I need to do it right etc etc But that’s not the reason. The reason I’m not blogging is because I’m…

Homesick
As many of you know, my husband and I have recently moved to Vancouver, Canada. However, that’s not what this blog is about. In September/October last year I had a bit of a quarter life crisis, and although I’m not totally through the other side, I am in a much better place and have gained…
When “how are you doing?” are the last words you want to hear…
I know this isn’t something people really talk about, but that’s part of the problem, and why I wanted to write a blog about it! Nobody has a clue how to treat me, what to say to me, or even whether to talk to me. And to be honest, the idea of people talking to me has raised my anxiety levels, so really, we’re all in the same boat. No idea what’s going on, or how to deal with situation at hand. So I thought I’d share my thoughts…
No Longer a Slave to Fear
For a significant amount of my life – over 20 years – I would consider what I was doing to only be half-living. I was so paralysed by fear in my youth and childhood that I didn’t ever learn how to be independent, or in all honesty how to be me.
Bad Habits
I drove home last week. A few weeks ago, my dad had a heart attack. He survived, but he’s still recovering. My mum had a ticket to go to a Christian women’s conference in Leeds with my sister, so I offered to stay with my dad while she was away. Whilst I was driving, I…
My Biggest Mistake of 2014
2014 was an excellent year. Lots of really great things happened for me last year, but they have been overshadowed by this one big mistake I made. At the end of 2013, I heard lots of people talking through their resolutions and saying what they had and hadn’t achieved. Then I heard that people had…
Living in the Shadow of the Almighty
I grew up in a musical environment. Not the traditional sense of a musical environment; mine and my sister’s early lives contained a lot of music, of all different genres and varieties – there always seemed to be music playing. I’ve always loved listening to music, and going to concerts, and I spend a lot…
Feminism – Why I Don’t Like It
As controversial as it is to say, I really don’t buy into the whole concept of feminism. I understand people have died to achieve equal rights over the course of history, but I’m talking about everything since then. Modern feminism. I am very grateful, and extremely thankful that people have in the past and still…
A new project for the blog…
This week has been a really great week. Nothing particularly impressive happened, but it’s just been a really good week all round! On Wednesday night I went to a friend’s house for a girl’s night and it was so much fun. A few months ago I set myself a bed time, which was 11pm. People…
Ellen’s 2013 New Year’s Resolutions
2012 came and went so fast I barely gave a thought to my years’ resolutions, let alone thinking about ones for 2013! As 2013 (or, has my parents have lovingly labelled it, two-zero-one-three) has hit us big and hard, right between the eyes, I figured I ought to think about this yearly tradition!
