Being a mental health nurse is incredibly rewarding, but the challenges can feel overwhelming at times. Witnessing people's journeys to wellness is humbling, yet the emotional toll can be heavy. But I wouldn't trade this work for anything

Tending my garden provides a sense of calm & connection with nature. Latest project: repurposed old planter for native plants - boosting local biodiversity. Gardening's therapeutic benefits are well-documented

Meet my furry garden mates, Daisy and Milo! These two feline friends keep me company as I cultivate my oasis, chasing butterflies and napping in the sun. Their purrs are the soundtrack to my peaceful afternoons.

While the indisputable joy my feline companions bring is undeniable, their tendency to disrupt my sleep and leave hair everywhere is a high price to pay. Still, their purrs and cuddles make it all worth it

Grow your own little garden sanctuary! Start with easy veggies and herbs - tomatoes, basil, rosemary. Watch them thrive and feel the stress melt away. It's so peaceful, I promise!
