It wasn’t until I looked back to my last blog entry, 30th October 2016, that I realised how long it has been since I had written a post.

Strangely enough, this was the last paragraph:

“Oh, as an aside, I am thinking of writing a book, telling my story, both good and bad but ultimately, hoping to spread the word on how depression first gets under your skin and then inside your mind until you reach a point that you don’t know there is anything else. What do you think?”

How strange indeed, that I felt the pull of my blog when I came back to where I’d left off!

So, YES! Exciting news, my book is underway ‘Surgery, Prosecco and Me! is being created now, (hence the change of my blog name from Woman on the Edge) the highs and lows of ‘life with Liz’ a phrase coined by my dear friend Mike Carson or Carson Mike depending on how much we have had to drink! Mike lived in my barn for months (it is a renovated one, he’s not Joseph in disguise), originally to build the set for my production ‘Steaming’ but then to help look after me when I had a spinal fusion.

Mike had been living on his own for years, in peace and quiet, aside from Shakespeare and classical music, only to find himself living with ‘The Inappropriates’, our family nickname, that I am guessing needs no explanation? A bit of a shock to his system I can tell you, nonetheless he took on the challenge with admiration and became part of the family.

I have digressed, my book, in response to my question “What do you think?”on 30th October 2016, there came a resounding Yes! Great I thought I’ll write that then, besides I have written a book before, albeit a fictional children’s book but nonetheless a book. Did I write it, well obviously not or I wouldn’t be writing this but you know what I mean! Anyway, maybe the reason I didn’t write it then was because I felt there was more to come and boy was there! Unfortunately, most of which I really wished hadn’t! However, there was one thing that I did find, that was very fortunate, that one thing… my sanity. I am finally free from the grasps of depression and the fear of the dark side and Surgery, Prosecco and Me! will explain just how I am to be living to tell the tale.

I am glad to be back in the land of my blog and really looking forward to connecting to everyone who used to read it, (it was read in 22 countries, it blew my mind, well it was already blown but I was honoured) and to connecting with many more people, whom I hope I can help in some way, as I believe that my purpose in life is to help people and my book is just the beginning.

Please feel free to post a comment, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks, Liz x
