LIFE HAS HICCUPS

Over the last month I have experienced a bit of a reality check. I went from getting up at 6.15 most mornings for a walk at the beach, fully involved in family life, running my much loved business and working a placement at Holmesglen Fashion, to getting up one morning, unable to take a step without excruciating pain from a bulging disk. I spent a week in hospital and then rehab taking more medication than I thought a body could cope with. I became dependent on my very supportive family and friends, had to leave my job and cancel my soul stitches classes, which was a little heartbreaking for me. I have been unable to drive and have had plenty of time for some soul searching and learning how to take it all slower, and i have discovered Netflix! I am now trying to continue to improve with an exercise program, reducing the medication, and getting back to teaching my classes.
I just wanted to say thank you to all my beautiful students and their parents for the flowers and cards and words of encouragement. Thank you
