Why a big hello to the blogging world!

I blogged years ago, mainly about books. I enjoyed it and found it tough going at times, but it was part of a journey I needed to do during a very tough time in my life.

My name is Jules and I have battled with infertility.

Not being able to have a family nearly broke me in a way that I could never have properly comprehended before the experience. It wasn’t a physical pain but so much of me hurt. Everyday. Every. Moment. Of. Everyday.

But then my very own wee miracle arrived after 3 years of trying to conceive that patched up my heart. She’s 5+ now. Wow time really does fly.

Anyway, enough with the heavy emotional baggage. 

I gave up blogging, and I really gave up writing almost altogether, so my life could be all about my family. My baby. My husband. My dog. Who are all my big, enormous loves.

Now I want to get stuck back into writing and blogging – mostly about books because reading is one of my absolute pleasures and I enjoy sharing a good read as well as finding that fantastic recommendation.

In the past I haven’t been one for setting new year’s resolutions, but this year I want to make a small effort in that department.

So, my goals for 2019 are as follows –

1)Be happy and enjoy my family and friends and wee small (often smelly) poodle.

2)Write more. Write every day that I can. Write anything but WRITE.

3)Read – but who am I kidding that doesn’t really need to be a goal as I’ve already finished 3 books 13 days into 2019.

4)Be happy. It’s a biggie so it should go first and last.

I look forward to finding loads of new people and blogs! I’m sure 2019 is going to be a good year.
