After almost two years living his hell, he moved out, and I'm so full of conflicting emotions, but most of all I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders and from my heart. I was sobbing as I was cleaning the guest room he's been sleeping in, thankful that the vacuum cleaner drowned out my crying. I've never really lived on my own, and I feel rather vulnerable in the house on my own, even with the cat for company.

I've grown so used to the constant stress of what he'd done, haunting me day and night, that I'd forgotten what life was like before The Knock. I can breathe now...

I told him I still loved him because I do. I told him I'd be there for him and support him because I will, but it's time for me to get my life back. It's time to reclaim ownership of my life.

I'm heading up to the Highlands for the first time to surround myself with the healing power of Nature. Then I'm off to the States to see my family and spend some time adventuring, getting some miles in on the road.

Equinox Blessings! The seasons are changing, and I have my life back.

Obviously it's been a harrowing time for you all round. You breathe in that fresh air then be comforted by your family abroad. You've made hard decisions.

Now it's your time to spread your wings and fly a little xxxx all the very best x

Give yourself time to heal hun but only look forward to a new path ahead of you

Take time to find the person you once were before this and you will learn to cope and the sunshine will return

The Highlanders will help clear your head and then spending time with your family

Wishing you all the very best xx never look back just concentrate on the road ahead xx

Congratulations! A cathartic cry and some amazing sounding adventures. I hope the highlands are crisp and bright for you.



Living alone can be tough when something breaks but I have found most of the time it's utterly brilliant, not having to compromise on the thermostat or toothpaste brand or what to watch on the telly.

Equinox Blessings JulieM.

A time of balance, for you to settle into your home and find some peace whilst you adjust. Then to make the most of the shorter daylight hours and to use those longer nights to plan your advertures.

Enjoy the Highlands!

Xx
