This too shall pass, but in the meantime

March 20, 2020 By Tracey Leave a Comment

In recent days, very recent days, there has been a shift. A mood of eerie surrealism and a sense of being unmoored from reality. Of being emotionally unravelled by our social media feeds, our inboxes and the silence in the streets.  At 8am this morning I go for coffee, I locked eyes with a stranger,…

Assume we are all doing the best we can

December 5, 2019 By Tracey Leave a Comment

It all started with a disposable coffee cup. Waiting in line for my coffee, there were two women in front of me. They seemed to know each other, their interactions polite, not overtly but in a reserved manner. A bit like knowing of someone but not really knowing them. They ordered coffees, with one of them…

October 10, 2017 By Tracey

Anxiety manifests itself in many ways. Physically and or psychologically, fears and phobias.  My version is generally centred around health and an intense fear of those close to me getting sick.

Between work, motherhood, being a wife, attempting…

Bloody hell

February 13, 2013 By Tracey Leave a Comment

I wish I could say that the next 6 months of pregnancy went without a hitch and that the following months were of zen like pregnancy yoga and glowy skin and hair but that then would be poppycock.  Of course after everything, I loved that I was pregnant and not a day went by when I didn’t feel…

A scare and a turtle

January 7, 2013 By Tracey 1 Comment

A week before Christmas MM and I were due to fly out to the Maldives. Throughout all of this IVF caper, travel was our outlet and the fact that we are lucky to still afford to travel whilst spending our money on fertility treatment does not escape me. When we were planning this holiday it…
