I'm Kat
i'm in my 30's and live in NorthEast England
*Why the blog name?*
1) the secrets are things i have found online that i've found helpful and inspiring and like to share with you in my posts.
2) the word butterfly carries personal meaning to me,as they transform, and go through a process of being away from life, before they emerge and fly free, and this reflects my process of recovering my health....
*Blogging*
my two main loves are writing and sharing things i find...so blogging became a perfect way to do that as well as to help myself express what i am going through in my healing path and make new friends with which to share growing interests in crafts and photography.
It is wonderful connecting up with people from near and far. when i read my favourite blogs and find the words are just what i need to reflect on or uplift me that day its wonderful.
i aim to create a space here thats uplifting and peaceful,through sharing things that touch my heart and inspire me, bringing something magical to the ordinary days.
do email or leave me a comment anytime,i enjoy your feedback.
*my healing journey*
For a long time through my twenties, i was extremely ill (with M.E.)so much so that even sitting up or talking to people in my home was too much for me. I was exhausted top to toe and needed alot of care,i had to really be like a butterfly in a cocoon, waiting....i have made improvememnts in recent years and though sometimes i vary in capabilities i remain purposeful in doing all i can towards aiding my continuing recovery. It means i am very grateful for all i do and it enhances anything i experience now, having been without it all that time.This is especially so when it comes to nature, the countryside and coastline here, which i dearly missed but can now return to sometimes.
*Finding inspiration*
i seek meaning and inspiration in my life,whether that be towards helping me get better, or increasing my inner strength, hope and Spirit. Its important to me to make the most of each day, even with the simple things. As well as to keep open to new possibilities that each new season brings.
