What’s Next? Fantasies and Festivals

by RachelSwirl December 12, 2023

What’s next? It’s a question that I ask myself continuously throughout life, especially over the past five years or so. You’d think that by the fabulous age of forty, I’d have life figured out. Sadly, this isn’t so and despite having a wonderful husband and two amazing children, I still find myself wondering what exactly my purpose on this planet may be. At present life is a bit like a rather large jigsaw purchased from the local charity shop with an unusual amount of pieces missing from the box. I haven’t got a clue what I want to do when …

It’s so unlike me to be away from the blog for so long, I cannot express how busy I have been over the past week, I simply haven’t had the time to do anything other than work, chores and to take care of the kids. Other than a thirty-minute window in which I chose to chill out with some tunes whilst mixing at my decks, I’ve literally not stopped. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving life at present and am very much enjoying my new role and the challenges which it presents, but due to the fact that my time …
