Update: It's Been a Difficult Time

This is just a short post to say hi. I realise it's been a long time since my last post. The process of moving house was a LOT for me and was a year in the making with 2025 being a non-stop year for me and my family. There were so many ducks to line up in a row to choreograph the move, and that's before I even mention the wrench of leaving people and places that my heart wanted to cling to.

We managed to pull the move off, but it knocked me for six once I arrived. I love my new home, but moving was so emotionally intense and exhausting for me. Soon after we arrived, a few unforeseen challenges landed on top of me. As a result of these layers of challenge, I burnt out and I've been struggling immensely with anxiety.

This time of struggle has been a traumatic one for me. It really has been tough— and I don't use those words lightly. Over the next few weeks, I plan to do whatever I can to restore my energy and get back to writing, reading, blogging, creativity, learning— all those good things. For now, I appreciate the friends and family who have been helping to breathe life back into me. The autumn colours are glowing and that makes walks around my new area all the lovelier.

I will emerge from this time with renewed clarity and, hopefully, more strength. My new book is out in February 2026, with pre-orders now open, so soon I will be sharing more about that.
