Apologies to all who follow me for being so flippant of late with my posts I do need to do better and write a lot more…We do have an exciting event coming up in August but there will be more on that closer to the time and if you follow my social media you will have already seen bits and bobs about it.
Back to the subject of finding me, over the past almost 10 months I have been on a bit of a voyage of self discovery….Kind of scary after so many years hiding in the shadows being afraid to be me. Since September 2021 I found the strength I needed to end my marriage of nearly 13 years and in doing so began finding myself again, the me that I’d forgotten existed because I thought that me was long gone. I have come to realise I am not just Kayleigh the mum, Kayleigh the ex wife, Kayleigh the girlfriend, Kayleigh the daughter or Kayleigh the Sister and Friend, yes I have made mistakes and I will make more because hey no one is perfect. But I am Kayleigh the woman whose self confidence was completely bashed for so long, but I am rebuilding myself and rediscovering the person I once was and I am loving it! I have so much love and support from my wonderful man, my family, extended blended family and my friends who have all said the spark is back in my eyes and I am making my nan and grandad proud.
After what seems like an eternity in the shadows I actually had my first ever job interview in like 15 years at the end of May and to my utter shock and amazement I actually got the job and I couldn’t be more excited about working again. I began working on June 17th and I am absolutely loving it, the peo0ple I work with are lovely and I feel like I have an element of independence back in my life. I now need to push myself back into my blogging a lot more with the event in August coming soon, which is super duper exciting and in the coming weeks I shall be putting more and more on my social media about it and may be even get some talking videos recorded.
So we are now in July and looking forward to summer holidays and we’ve just had Megan’s birthday, can’t believe my little 4lb 11oz rainbow baby is now 10!!!! So scary how grown up shes becoming and this time next year she’ll be leaving primary school to begin her secondary school journey. I am so not ready for all this but we have such amazing support around us I know she’ll be ok…. This week was also my birthday and turning 37 wasn’t half as scary as I kept thinking it was, but if you’d told me this time last year that I would have the strength to leave my marriage and start over, get divorced and be in a relationship and happier than I have ever been I would have laughed in your face.
So here I am in July, working mama, girlfriend, 37 and the happiest I have ever been… I have my self confidence back, I am still finding me and will continue on that journey of self discovery with some amazing support around me. I will get another post out soon as I have one to finish now I am almost 9months post mitrofanoff surgery so I need to do a post surgery update. Sorry this is such a short post this time round, I hope you still enjoy reading this and keep supporting and following my journey through life as a mama and as a woman and a blogger.
Thank you all for your continued support.
Kayleigh x
