Late 2014 I had received some news that in hindsight prepared me for 2015.

2015 was a year of waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop and hoping that mum had at least one more Christmas with us.

Unfortunately that was not to be as the shoe did drop as Mum passed away in November. These last two months have been an absolute blur with the funeral, work, Mum’s birthday and now Christmas. I don’t know how I kept myself together because I did fear that when that call did eventually come I wouldn’t be able to, but now that Christmas is almost over it is time to hit the reset button.

So as 2015 draws to a close and 2016 looms large on the horizon. I commit to letting go of the past and to not worrying about what I don’t have control over and start living my life for me rather than doing what I think people expect of me.
