Fresh Starts

Is this thing on?

*slowly emerges from beneath a mountain of blankets, hair dishevelled, sleep in eyes*

Oh. Hai.

Fancy seeing you here.

I mean, miraculous that you are, in fact, still here to be honest.

I have been a neglectful newsletter author.

Let me just be real with you: I’m just coming out of extremely tough month. I have been tested physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. And I’ve been utterly exhausted by it all.

I got back from London at the end of October and suddenly got sick with possibly the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced. I’ll spare you the gory details, suffice to say, it was 10 days of the type of pain that quite literally brought me to my knees. I scream-cried for what imagine was the first time since childhood. It damn near broke me.
