8 LESSONS FROM 8 YEARS OF BLOGGING

THIS TIME 8 YEARS AGO
Around this time 8 years ago, I finally took the plunge and
started a blog. I dived into the vast unknown with little to no expectations (other than
to write a bit of stuff down to get it out of my head and into a more
understandable format).
I knew nothing about blogging or bloggers. I hadn't even heard the term
"Midlife" - it was something I encountered along the way when a few amazing
women found me and took me on a journey that has now been part of my life

having Plan A, B, and C. But I'm not great with upheavals and life throwing
me curveballs.
The latest evidence of this came with my hip surgery date being
thrown into chaos a week before it was due to happen...... we all know the outcome, but this is what I learnt about myself in the process.....
