Welcome to MOOM ! More Ownership Of Me. Blogging my reflections during a period of supporting my partner in active substance misuse , working, and attempting to raise three teenagers. Crafts saved me from MYSELF in the end!!!! It’s taken a long time to get to posting anything about myself , let alone a blog . This is a journey of confidence , to remember my worth and hopefully encourage some who may have also forgotten their worth , that they are not alone.
Currently ,I am trying my hand at polymer clay earrings and really enjoying it . Myself , family and friends wear the little earrings born from my feelings and thoughts. Wearing the earrings to remind me that everything is okay , and LOOK WHAT I CAN DO, when I literally put my mind into something. Heads UP , I’m an overthinker. So expect many a crafty thing.
Some of my best earrings ( so far) have been made during a really tough time, where I felt alone in crowded spaces.
And here we are , when I wear these earrings , I am reminded of a craft session where I realised I was in a mode of self- sabotage. We all do it , remind ourselves to check in with our behaviours, never mind what others think of us. What are our thoughts and actions doing to US??!!! Be kind to yourself and others . It’s enough that you have had a reflection and strive to remain aware of yourself/ourselves, take of yourselves and reach out for support from family , friends and professionals. When they may not be around , for whatever reason , MOOM , get in touch with your creative side 🙂

Nonetheless, I am so proud of myself for writing a blog , I cant promise my grammar will be spot on . I can promise I’ll write from the heart , bear with me it’s not called recovery for nothing. . His addiction and self-discovery has been a whirl wind of emotions for us both. It’s my turn to heal now and find me again . He learned a lot from me , now dare i say it , I am learning from him . I welcome any help and support along the way .
These blogs for the most part explain his story. I lived his old and ‘new to me’ traumas over a two year period whilst juggling home and work life . It also forced me to reflect on my past and present journeys.
