A great getaway.


https://youtu.be/SRJJHfzbDfE?si=V1BcFy2YD__4yhMZ

In my latest vlog, I share the excitement of a weekend getaway—something that every girl needs once in a while! This wasn’t just a day trip; it was a full-on girls' retreat, filled with fun, relaxation, and adventure. What made this trip even more special was that we spent our own money, proving that you don’t need NDIS funding to treat yourself to a refreshing break from the usual routine.

The getaway was a perfect reminder that, sometimes, all you need is to pack a bag, grab a friend, and set off on an adventure. We explored new places, enjoyed great food, and indulged in some much-needed downtime, all while bonding and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s discovering hidden gems or simply relaxing in a new environment, the trip was a beautiful blend of travel and friendship.

This weekend escape was a testament to the power of spontaneity and independence. Living with a disability doesn't mean every experience has to be structured or pre-planned through funding. We took this trip because we wanted to, and we made it happen with our own resources—no NDIS involved. It's about showing that you can take control of your life, enjoy new experiences, and create your own adventures, all while feeling empowered and free.

The girls' getaway wasn’t just about travel; it was about reconnecting with ourselves and each other in a stress-free environment. Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in day-to-day life that we forget the importance of breaking away and doing something just for fun. This trip was exactly that—a refreshing reminder of the joys of living life on your terms.

So, if you’re looking for inspiration for your next adventure, consider planning a girls' getaway. Whether it’s a weekend trip or a simple day out, you’ll find that spending your own money on something you truly enjoy is a rewarding experience. It’s about independence, friendship, and the freedom to explore the world on your own terms—no funding necessary!

(Please be aware that this post contains sensitive content around addiction and mental health issues)   So this is a continuation of the series on Izzy lightwood and trauma caused by the shadow world.  She is the Sister of Alec lightwood and Jace (who is adopted) I have talked briefly about their relationships and how this plays out, in the shadow world.   As this world is a perfect storm for creating trauma. Due to its nature and it is a great portrayal of trauma in some ways.    this sees her seeking the next fix without concern for her safety and the safety of those around her. Hitting rock bottom is a myth often it is the people you are around that force you to get help and this is why Raphael encourages her to sweat it out.  Rock bottom for Izzy is her going to the hotel de mort and threatening Raphael so the justifications, excuses the lies about where you are all symptoms of addiction.  The reality is that addiction is a disease and diseases have treatments. The treatment for Iz

Why I can't learn to love my disablity

  Why I can’t learn to love my disability My Disability is a part of me yet I can’t learn to love it, but I can learn to accept it. To accept that I will always be different. Be the person who will never have a normal life and whose family will get frustrated with me, because I used to be able to do so many things for myself, but now I can’t and will need support for the rest of my life. I can’t love it because of the way my life has played out, I can’t be an inspiration because it does hold me back in ways that frustrate me and my family as we always thought I could live a normal life, but I am coming to the realization I can’t and that this will impact me and everyone in my life. I never used to admit I have a disability and this in the long run hasn’t done me any favors.   I am what they call high functioning but high functioning doesn’t mean normal – it means that I appear to be able to do most thing’s for myself – but in reality, I can’t. High-functioning Definition &

What a support worker can do for you and what the can't part one my story with support

Image
 I need people to be aware that this blog post is from my lived experience as a person with a disability.  It is something that we do need to talk about is that I have talked at length about it in other blog posts so it needs to be talked about this is what a support worker can and can’t do for someone and this is a difficult topic to be objective about for me because I have had very poor care and at the same time fantastic care.  I can’t seem to reconcile the two together as it has kept me off balance for a long time, but a support worker is there to help you to be more independent and not less independent and we see that this can be a massive issue if a person doesn’t know what good support work looks like.  Or is unable to define what their limits are for a support worker working with challenging clients.  This could potentially be quite dangerous due to a person not being able to speak up due to experiences with support workers in the past and this is where the support worker n
