I am a fifty-something marketer living in the North. I talk a lot about mental health, life as a 50 plus year old woman, and how I am absolutely not ready for the scrap heap yet! I also want to challenge the stereotype of what I should be as middle-aged woman.

Ordinary World

Two blogs in quick succession means I have a lot to say, right? Maybe... This one is probably just more of an update than anything useful or thought provoking to be honest. Shall we dive in? Family Some of you will know that I am surrounded by cancer. Both my parents have cancer as does… Continue reading Ordinary World →

Hurt

Right from the start this has a trigger warning. This blog is going to talk about self-harm. So if that's not for you, then please scroll on. No hard feelings. I promise! First things first; self-harm, for me, is not just about the obvious. The teenagers who are suffering from existential angst. It's so much… Continue reading Hurt →

Walk on the Wildside

29th Dec 202429th Dec 2024 Sarah S

Following on from my last post about sex and fantasy, I thought we'd go one step further with a trip around gender; or at least my take on it! I don't want to get into a debate on trans rights. I am a firm ally, that is all you need to know. A lot appears… Continue reading Walk on the Wildside →

China Doll

25th Dec 202425th Dec 2024 Sarah S

This blog has been in my head for 15 months. It's going to cover topics around sex, fantasy and other things which some people might not want to read about. This is your chance to step away... If not? Then let's go on a magic carpet ride... I need to start by saying that I… Continue reading China Doll →

Just leave me alone…

31st Aug 2024 Sarah S

I am on a roll, another blog in less than a week; and another one that really needed to get out of my head. This one is potentially one of the hardest ones that I have birthed, but my CBT sessions are making me think more about how I react to events around me. The… Continue reading Just leave me alone… →

Changes

25th Aug 2024 Sarah S

This blog has been literally haunting me for a few days now. It's kept me awake for two nights, and as much as I am trying to fight it, it's time for it to be birthed, so to speak. You know that I am on a roll with these song titles. This could be one… Continue reading Changes →

Motorcycle Emptiness

16th Aug 2024 Sarah S

I am sitting here on a Friday afternoon trying to think about what I want to talk about. Not usually an issue, but today inspiration isn't exactly flowing through my veins. It's been a while since I've flexed my writing muscle, but it's also been a mad couple of months, both personally and work-wise. Probably… Continue reading Motorcycle Emptiness →

Enjoy the silence

23rd Jun 202423rd Jun 2024 Sarah S

It's been a while again, right? What was supposed to be a place to dump my thoughts has become like a graveyard of late. But that is ok. I feel like I am waking up again, I don't know if this is good news or what! Back in November, I wrote about wanting more. I'd… Continue reading Enjoy the silence →

What the hell is going on around here?

3rd May 2024 Sarah S

Can it really be four months since I last blogged? I think it can - and there is no shame in that. Life has been doing its usual thing of kicking me in the bollocks sometimes, except I don't have any, but you get the gist, right? So what has been happening? Well, my dad… Continue reading What the hell is going on around here? →

(Don’t fear) the reaper

25th Dec 202325th Dec 2023 Sarah S

Yep, I know, it’s Christmas day and I’m posting a blog with a title that’s about death. Well, it’s not all jingle bells for everyone at this time of year, right? At the time of starting this, it’s 6:20 am and I’ve been awake for 90 mins crying. On Christmas fucking day… I would suggest… Continue reading (Don’t fear) the reaper →
