AND THEN I SAID I DO...
If you've been following along with me for the years that I have been intermittently posting, you know that finding love and lasting relationships has been a struggle for me but something I always wanted. At the start of 2023, I decided that I wasn't going to wait any longer to change myself physically before I put myself back out there. I would let my confidence and hard work emotionally & mentally shine and hope that it would attract the right partner for me. I started with

(May 2024) - Part 2. For Part 1 of this series, see this blog post. Continuing on my journey, I wanted to take some more time enjoying the sights of the Loch Lomond area.

3 Days in Edinburgh: Tattoos, Islander, Witchery, the macabre and more!
(May 2024) I was due to come back in the fall of 2020, but we all know why that was delayed. So, after Covid, it was a priority for me to find a way to make it back to my beloved Scotland.

I was in a new relationship for a few months when it was time to travel and decided that continuing going solo, as per my past trips, still felt right. I was anticipating my mother's health to take a turn sometime in the near futur
