Hi there, my name is Mel.

I’m a mum of two beautiful children and a needy four legged pooch. I am from a huge family and grew up in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, and I currently reside in Queensland.

I feel incredibly blessed to live in Australia, although I have had dreams of living in other beautiful places around the world. Canada and New Zealand were my two top choices. Maybe one day I’ll get to experience what it’s like living abroad. I have been blessed to have experienced some travel also, New Zealand, Fiji, England, Scotland and France were amazing experiences. I have more countries on my travel list, as I’m sure most of us do.

I have had many careers over the years, hairdressing, within the banking sector, Writer/Author, in retail, warehousing, call centre work and currently I work as a casual in a deli. Some were more promising than others. 

I found myself asking what I wanted to do for a career. In and out of jobs, that weren’t the right fit for me, or I was only using to pay the bills. I wanted to find something that could help someone.

Recently, my life took a turn in a direction I never thought it would go. From that experience, I started to wonder if I could use what I went through, to help others. This was how I decided to become a blogger.

My story is a mix of ups and downs, of light and dark. Some of the struggles I’ve faced have broken me, but with the support of close family and friends, I continue to take each day as it comes. I continue to learn as much as I can, and maybe along the way, I can help someone in the process.

I hope you enjoy my blog. Enough that you’ll keep coming back, and maybe even leave a comment.

Until next time, Remember….

Be kind to yourself.
