I'm beyond visually annoyed by all those posts about ways to achieve perfect parenting / perfect relationships / perfect ... you name it, it's out there in the social media. Somebody has the perfect answer

Welcome to my new life - my daughter is inexorably becoming a pain in the ass. Um, no. A teen. She's becoming a teen. My beautiful daughter has recently turned ten. She's rapidly going through changes

So, I spent all yesterday reading "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. I've felt a little lost the last few days, however I was quite succesfully seeing the good side of things in my life. As I was

Well, hello there, people. Long time, no see. I've been busy living. I'm not going to rehash the topics of my past blogs. I will simply say I have been busy getting from my dark side to a balanced view

So, I'm not a psychologist. I'm not a therapist either. I'm not one of the countless people who come to tell the world how to get out of their despair in 5/9/...X... steps. I'm just one of those souls

Today I went with my daughter to see a specialist in pediatric psychiatry.  We had an appointment at 11 am. We went into the doctor's office and met this nice young woman  who asked me a few

You know, I wish I had the sports gene activated in my DNA. I don't. I enjoy relaxing in various ways - my favourite being spending time at the beach. I love to feel the sun warming my skin, while I'm

I am a huge fan of natural energizers. I couldn't function without them, being a single mom with sleeping disorders (insomnia, fitful bouts of superficial sleep, frequent wake up moments to cover my daughter,

...yup. That's exactly how I feel. I am mentally and emotionally exhausted. I'd love to spend a couple of weeks on a sunny island, being pampered by all sorts of comforts - massages (oh, my!), an idyllic
