Some changes arrive suddenly, without ceremony.
Recovery teaches you how to walk through them.
This week marked my first longer outdoor walk around the ‘Gorms since getting the boot off after a recent fall & fracture. There’s a particular clarity that comes when the body starts moving again, a sense that recovery isn’t just physical, but emotional too.
The NHS & physio have been anchors in that process, steadying the parts of life that felt shaken.
The pavements were uneven, the road was quiet, & the air felt like a reset. A “ head showered”moment.
It’s impossible to ignore that this recovery has been happening alongside another kind of disruption-sudden redundancy.
That kind of silence leaves its own mark.
However, walking again, feeling the ground under me, reminded me that transitions don’t define me; how I move through them does.
This stage is about processing, not rushing.
I hope to step into a creative network where expression, connection & dignity matter.
Art holds the parts of the story that work couldn’t. Sundays are for decompressing, for gathering myself before the week ahead, & for honouring the grit it takes to rebuild with grace.
With grace & grit,
