This song pierces my heart 😢
“I was 12 when the Da’s started killing themselves all around me”.

We’re still awash with the trauma those politicians caused and yet people still vote for them. 🤷‍♀️

I think the vast majority of counsellors would be only too happy for this ban to be put in place!

Beyond Surviving founder Ciara Mangan and other Irish representatives will tell the meeting in Geneva that defence lawyers' use of a victim's clinical notes can cause 'significant harm and suffering'

Last day! Thanks to all who engaged and messaged me and followed along.

At the end of a hard oul slog of a year I needed this!

Write three things you’re grateful for…I’m keeping mine to myself this time but I am grateful for so much and so many

I wish you all a peaceful and mindful Christmas.

It’s Day 8 of my and happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a peaceful restful Sunday. I only have a tiny bit of shopping left but I’ll do an early morning run tomorrow to try avoid the crowds 🤞🤞

Here’s my gratitude list for today:
1. My Dad..he’s almost 88 years old! Been through some tough years since he lost mam in 2021 but still going strong and making sure his kids are ok 🥰
2. My sister…who does Christmas dinner every year for the family…legend!
3. My health…may it continue long after 2025.

Late posting today because I had to get the Christmas nails done!

So, what are you grateful for today? Here’s mine:
1. My cousin who happens to be an amazing Nail tech Perfect Nails by Ciara
2. Being from a big family where there’s always someone who can do the job, whether it’s nails, hair or fixing your car 😁
3. Sparkles, glitter, and shiny things…because they just make me feel giddy 😂😂😂
