Happy World Cerebral Palsy Day 2024! I’ve been wanting to do another World CP Day post for several years now but have just never had the chance so it feels good to be writing one again this year. I also want to find my passion for blogging again so what better way to kick it… Continue reading World CP Day 2024: Uniquely CP
So, you know me I’m going to try not to ramble my way through this blog but it's fair to say the first quarter of 2024 has been pretty rubbish and yes, I want to update you but part of me wants to vent too!

Just like that, we’re at the end of the year. This year has been a really big one for me yet, it feels like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye and I feel as though I haven’t appreciated it as much as I should have. Recently, I’ll be honest, my mental health… Continue reading Georgia the Occupational Therapist or Just Georgia?
Is it time to take on new challenges? This is the question I’m facing at the moment and I’m not talking about career challenges, as I have quite the number of career-based adventure plates spinning at the moment, I’m talking about life-based challenges. At the beginning of the year, I started not only my first… Continue reading Is It Time to Take on New Challenges?
