Hello again

Hello again—and welcome to the beginning of Life in Little Steps.

It’s been over 14 years since I last blogged here. A lot has changed—online and offline—but I’m returning with open hands and a willingness to adapt to the new landscape. I’ll slowly update on some of the changes, but for those new to here, I’d best introduce myself...

I’m Helen—a juggler of life in all its messy, glorious forms. I’ve been married, divorced, loved, hated, bullied, bereaved… all while living with a rare form of childhood arthritis, diagnosed when I was just two.

Life in Little Steps is exactly what it sounds like—my life, one step at a time. It’s also the name of the website I’m slowly building: a space for reflection, resilience, and gentle empowerment. I don’t have all the answers, but I hope that in sharing my experiences—my downfalls and my successes—it might spark a lightbulb for someone else. 

However you found yourself here, whether by search, stumble, or synchronicity—you’re welcome. So, please make yourself comfortable, grab a cuppa, and say hello.
