Reintroducing Monthly Magical Moments as an attempt to show up in this space more frequently and consistently.
There have been times, over the last few months, that life has felt busy and overwhelming so making any space for writing is a triumphant as far as I’m concerned!
Here are my Magical Moments for October 2023
1. My husband actually took a day off work and we spent it together! Recently, it has felt that supporting our elderly parents has taken up all our time and energy, and so it was lovely to try to reconnect for day. We spent it at Cheltenham Literary Festival (my choice!) and had a lovely day listening to talks, including one with
, and browsing bookshops – my favourite thing.2. The publication of my open letter to the Prime Minister has made me feel as if I am at least trying to make a difference, and trying to highlight a problem that isn’t just going to go away, no matter how much those in power want to ignore it.
3. I finally managed to publish a post right here on Substack! The sense of achievement was immense!
I would love to know what your October Monthly Magical Moments were…
