The Wink sounds so exciting and a great project for you to focus on and get stuck into and has probably come along just at the right time. Sometimes things fall into place, as if it was meant to be, even if it started out as a trying and upsetting event.

That'll teach me. I do feel better. I do feel calmer. And most importantly I know that I did the right thing. None of that makes it any easier of course.<br />And I am thrilled to hear that you are putting things into motion too. Be brave gentle CJ. Raise your head above the parapet!

I crave all the wrong things, and too much of them too. But this week I have started to get on top of this, which is a good sign. It means I am starting to look after myself again. The probiotic ideal is very interesting, and I shall look into it. Thanks for sharing.

The thing that struck me though was that you have been a double success. First of all, you succeeded in setting up and running your own business (something very few people ever manage to do!). And secondly, you succeeded at knowing when the right time was to step away from it all (again, something very few people manage much to the detriment of their own health and peace of mind). <br /><br />The other thing I wanted to say was over the past six months on my own journey through grief and struggling with my own mental health I happened upon a blog post about the microbiome. They mentioned a book called The Psychobiotic Revolution. I immediately put it on my Kindle and read it. I then started making sure that every day I had at least two things that had probiotics in them (yogurt, but not the sweetened low fat kind, kombucha, real sauerkraut as opposed to the stuff on the grocery aisle, kimchi, etc.). I have to say that within a week or two I started to feel better. The grief is still there, and it always will be, but my head is in a much better place now and I can cope. Anyway, I hope you don't mind me telling you this. I know everyone is different and what helped me might not help you. But it has made such a difference in my life I felt I should mention it.

A friend recently told me that we should do everything with a good heart, and if we can't, we should do it only when we can, or not at all. It sounds like you could no longer carry on with ShipShape for that very reason, and you were right to walk away. You are going to have plenty to keep you busy with The Wink, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. I love that you feel able to write about the ups and downs of life, some particular to you, some like your struggles with mental health, much more universal than you can imagine. It takes great courage to share these things and I am glad you do it. <br /><br />Take care and be strong,<br /><br />Lesley Anne xxLesley Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160145963741108919noreply@blogger.com
