I started seeing a therapist. I have made a habit of practicing yoga everyday. I have made conscious efforts to clean up my eating habits. I sit still. I read a little bit more each day. I am kinder and more understanding to my children and my man. I am kinder to myself. I respect myself and love myself. Hitting rock bottom over two years ago, having suicidal thoughts and constantly doubting myself MADE me start doing all those things. It took time and it was anything but easy. But it brought out the best and most strongest in me. As a stay-at-home mum of three young children, I still lose my shit on a frequent basis but I no longer beat myself up about it. Instead I call it my rebirth, an evolving that doesn’t happen just once. It happens over and over again. Just like waves keep rolling up and then away, just like our breathe holds and releases, I am born and reborn constantly. One of those moments in my life was captured so beautifully by the talented Anca Clivet.

Going on holiday seems a distant memory this year with the global pandemic, but if you own a caravan holiday home, you could be lucky enough to get away for a few days (rules permitting). But that’s just one advantage of having a caravan holiday home that you can call your own… there are plenty more reasons to invest in one.
Authors like George Orwell wrote entire novels about what life would be like living in a surveillance state that watched your every move. Suffice to say, the picture he painted wasn’t pleasant and serves as a warning to us all.
I would wither away and die if I didn’t have access to creativity. You could say that’s just me. But I know for a fact that expressing yourself through creative activities can be soul-nourishing and that’s why I encourage my kids to allow their creative juices to flow any way they feel. Art workshops are a brilliant way to do that and last week the boys were lucky enough to try one out at ElenART Studio in Nicosia.
