Writing For Fun? Maybe...
I am a forced writer. I have no other skills besides being a radiographer and seeing as I physically cannot do it anymore, this was my second choice.
I am a mother first, a widow second and a know-it-all about nothing and everything.
I love talking about movies, songs and books.
I have a varied background navigated through personal upbringings and exposures to different walks of life.
I eventually am going to have this site to launch the stories I wish to advocate.

I love this painting, as I'm sure an incredible amount of people around the world do. You only have to see the replicas and the variations of people's own artwork to appreciate it's magnificance.

Loving Jase progress
I will be keeping a word count for the book which I have been mentally writing for fifteen years. Nearing the minimum word count of 80000 words has been a journey in itself. I will be cataloguing thoughts I have incorporated in my artistic journey.
Sal's journey: finding light in the darkness
My name is Sally, and this website is born from my own raw, lived experience of profound loss. After years of my husband battling illness, I'm now navigating the aftermath, comforting our two young daughters through the loss of their dad, all while managing my own ongoing battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME). This space is dedicated to sharing my journey, offering insights, and creating a community for others facing similar challenges. Here, you'll find an honest account of grief, resilience, and the daily quest for strength.
