Welcome to my blog!! The blog is all about how life changes and how you have to change with it.  My most recent change, and probably my saddest ever, was when my gorgeous Susie “Woo” collie dog passed away on January 27th 2015.  This site is named after her.  She was my best friend from the day that we found each other at a rescue centre on my birthday in October 2000 when Susie was approximately 12 months old.

During that time we have been through many changes – some of which I may reflect upon.  The sad changes have included having to take ill health retirement from my academic career at the age of 43 and trying to find myself again after that major upheaval.  So I’ve grieved for the health I’ve lost, my career and I’m now grieving for Susie.  But I know that whilst grieving it is important to focus on the positives.

The aim of the blog is to therefore focus on positive things that I am trying to do with my life now as I chaotically stumble through this world.  Please enjoy this journey with me!
