Confessions is 7 years Old

Thank goodness for Linkedin, it was merrily letting me know a few people had liked my work anniversary this week. Odd I thought as I couldn’t think what anniversary it was. On further investigation I found its 7 years since I started Confessions of a Single Mum. Wow 7 years of me on my soap box about life as a single parent.

So what’s happened in those 7 years? Well according to the clever little analytic programme, which I added a year into having Confessions ( yes I know should have added it at the beginning), in the 6 years the programme has been chugging away in the background… …I’ve gathered a wealth of insights and trends that reveal just how much our community has evolved. To mark this journey, we are planning a confessions anniversary celebration that will highlight our milestones and foster connections among everyone who has been part of this adventure. It’s a chance to reflect on where we started and dream about where we’re headed next.

In my life in those 7 years….

  • Made some fantastic blogging/ online friends
  • Discovered I had M.E
  • Left job to become self employed, started part time work ( whilst juggling several self employed things)
  • Both children left school
  • Lost my Mum ( as in passed away, didnt just misplace her lol sorry she would find that hilarious)
  • Learnt what makes me happy and the courage to change work/life direction

Not to bad a list on both, though there room for improvement on both. So what do I hope the next 7 years will entail?

I hope in 7 years time I am still blogging as I love it. To continue to meet and friend more bloggers. To see where my blogging life takes me as my children make the turn into adulthood.  I want my children to find what makes them sparkle in life and if they can find that in jobs too then that would be amazing. I would like to kick the M.E into touch, into outer space would be even better, but enough to get a life back. (I am getting there slowly).

I think as my school reports all use to say…Kairen shows potential if she would just apply herself, she could do better.
