The week of starting this blog one of my aunts was brought into hospital and life became a little crazy. My aunts returned home from England and Australia to visit my aunt and to lend a helping hand to her husband and daughter. Though having so much family around during this time was so nice, it was difficult to find time for myself to be able to write a blog post, film or edit a video or even go to the gym.
Last week my aunt passed away and as you can imagine I was pretty heart-broken. Despite having such a large family I am close with pretty much every member and loosing one of them is one of the worst things to happen. I took some time off work for the funeral and to help my mam as much as possible as no matter how difficult I was finding it, it was at least 10 times worse for her. Though the funeral service was beautiful and being able to spend time with my family and hear stories of my aunt from before I was born was lovely it was still a very difficult time and I'm still not used to the fact that she is gone forever.
I went back to work on Monday morning and though it was a difficult thing to do, it needed to be done. I am step by step starting to get my life back on track again. I am finding the motivation within myself to get back into writing blog posts and making videos, to start doing the things I love once again and to find myself along the way.
It has been a difficult past couple of weeks and things are only starting to settle back down again now. I am going to put as much effort as I can into my blog and my channel again and hopefully start ticking a few things off my 21 Things I Want To Do This Year list and start getting back into living my life again and reaching my goals.
I just wanted to explain my absence in this post and I hope you understand why I have been so MIA for the last couple of weeks.
Please let me know of any blog posts or videos you would like to see me do. Any suggestions will greatly help me get back into the swing of things again.
