If you are reading this I urge you to be open minded about this. I understand that some people will struggle to believe me but I promise you It’s almost been a year now since I started my journey back on this spiritual path. Yes you heard me correctly back on this journey. As far back as I… Continue reading A year in review – my spiritual journey.

I am Mrs Shep aka Emma. Mum of boys. I suffer for FND and I also have dyslexia and dyspraxia. I chat about everything from baby loss and (sen) parenting to general life stuff. I even through in some meal ideas and recipes sometimes too!
Sheer terror and overwhelm
I’m meant to be sorting the online food shop out right now but honestly my head isn’t in it. I’m so overwhelmed at the moment that if I’m being honest even the thought of taking Alfie for his haircut after school today is making me want to cry. If you haven’t felt like this then… Continue reading Sheer terror and overwhelm
Long term lockdown effects
How lockdown has affected me long term and why I have anxiety taking my SEN son out. So if you follow me you will know I’ve spoken a lot about my youngest son having additional needs. Despite having significant memory problems I can actually remember the moment I realised Alfie was different. Very end of… Continue reading Long term lockdown effects
Emma spills the tea
There’s quite a few things in life I don’t understand and probably never will. Politics, maths and people to name a few. I have spent a considerable amount of time the last few months spending some much needed time on myself. Something I am not good at is being kind to myself. In the past… Continue reading Emma spills the tea
Sitting on the sidelines
I don’t fit in you know. I never have. I’ve always felt like the odd one out. Or the one that people are nice and pleasant too but no one picks me first or picks me to be besties with or to be their go to. Doesn’t matter what it is. I’m just the nice… Continue reading Sitting on the sidelines
Progress
So we are half way through the year and I have to say I feel like I have made some huge progress with things in my life. Well in certain areas anyway! I realise that sounds corny but it’s true. I feel like I am / have found out who I am or who I… Continue reading Progress
I ruined my own health
How I ruined my own health. So hear me out it’s not what you think. This isn’t about my FND or anything else I have going on physically. This about how I have slowly destroyed my own mental health without even realising. In 2020 I shared something so raw and personal and whilst you may… Continue reading I ruined my own health
A single tear
A single tear rolled down my cheek today as I remembered the hope I once had of having you in my life. Whilst that hope has long gone one thing that hasn’t gone is the love I still have for you. As we approach 9 years since you were gone. I can’t help but think… Continue reading A single tear
My True Self
Are you your true self? I’m not; I don’t think I ever have been either. A mixture of reasons really, not feeling like I have ever had the chance too. The safety (if that’s what you want to call it) of being able to explore that option. I was bullied at school and shamed for… Continue reading My True Self
Cancelling 18 summers
As I write this I am sat in a park watching Alfie play. Questioning why I worry so much and if I am doing a good job. Every parent worries but sometimes I think I have extra worries than some. It’s no secret that Alfie has complex difficulties and it’s known by most who follow… Continue reading Cancelling 18 summers
