Hi everyone how are you today ?

I have many goals in my life, I like to have lots of things going, a busy mind leaves less time to think and worry about things you may not be able to change at this particular time; but each day you get up and work towards ticking that list of new skills off, one goal at a time. Writing and becoming an author isn’t just about the publishing or even the writing, it is merely the beginning of the journey. I have loved the journey, although difficult and it has change it’s trajectory along the way; I believe in learning as I go along that somewhat twisted road. As much as the story plot develops, so does the very essence of you as an author.

Along with becoming an author you are also working towards building author pages, making friends and connection. Managing all social media pages and marketing your work as well as yourself as an author to the world. Is it an easy thing to do? Does it all take time? Do you think you will be that one person who has overnight success ? Or do you want longevity, so when you publish more work your audience is there ready waiting and excited about Your next big release. It depends on your own perspective and really the type of writer you are. I get side tracked sometimes just talking to people and forget I have a book to market, though I don’t want to come across as pushy sales person, I want Engagement with my audience, feedback to become better. Confidence to carry on when it goes silent. To build the respect in the industry of children’s publishing.

I also have goals of studying and passing my child psychology course, which temporarily has taken a detour and it sit’s warmly on the back burner ready to go when the time is right and this vaccines get to a point where life begins to be more open and the work load of my day job changes back to the way it was before Covid began.

Whilst we will never forget every life lost during this pandemic, my aunt being one of them It really is a mementos occasion too go down in the history books of how we lived died , inspired and adapted to a new world and way of life the year of 2020 and beyond.

Today the first lot of vaccines began here in UK and our over 80’S bravely being the first to take it with excitement, hope unhindered by fear or theories; Maybe now they see there life will very soon be free from the worry of it, free to go back to spending that time making memories with their loved ones going to the shops and spending time with friends after almost nine months of social isolation. I am so proud of our older generation they have lived with some of the toughest situations in life and they should be so valued and respected that they never give up and always put themselves in the forefront of making things better for their families.

I am a Mother, a wife, a daughter, a sibling and a carer so for me there is no choice but to protect myself so that can protect those who need me to help them . So that I can visit and spend quality time with those who I am blessed to know and love dearly.

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX EDUCATION AND HOMEWORK

What a beautiful photo By Dominika Roseclay, now I am going to show you a few video clips they are way before Jake got his diagnosis but when it came to helping him stay engaged with home work we really had to come up with some out of the box thinking both me and my hubby put our heads together on some of Jakes homework the school used to give this sheet of homework, many different things but Jake loved really getting creative Niki did too, and obviously we helped with some of the putting it together, but really they came up with the ideas we just were along because it makes it much more fun when you do projects with someone and really builds that team work up.

Different versions of the same project one with me being a news reporter and Jake answering questions then we switched over roles.

My turn as Interviewer

Switching Roles

I so loved working with kids not only on there homework when they were little but reading and making their costumes. I loved the little notes that they left round the house saying, I love you mummy. But I also loved writing them to sneaking them in their lunch boxes school bags putting them on their bedside tables.

I really am quite an expressive person, if you feel it say it, then they never doubt it.

Now that sibling bond especially Niki’s and Jakes it really has developed into a rather great loving friendship now they are older and have a lot of the same interests.

When I Talk about my kids to me they are so much more then that diagnosis, they are brother and sister they are my babies always know matter how old. they used to have fights to rival the best wreslers, in the world. but you come near either one of them they will back each other up protect each other. They are best friends and they are really now very nuturing to each other. I love the way they now get each other snacks, or sit and chat, Jake loves to spend time with Niki.

Its a special kind of sibling that gets you, that understands those differences they both have had to know about being autistic I really wonder sometimes if the diagnosis has brought them closer because they think the same way not exactly because even autistic people are indeviduals but they same way they process the world.

Now my blog is at an end for today I will just leave you with a few pics of me and Hayley the last couple of days. she makes me smile so much.

Dad had to Make Hayley a new stand for her Tablet something a little more robust,
