We all have moments when we wish life came with a rewind
button ! But the truth is, we can’t go back and rewrite our story, and that is okay. I chose this quote as it reminds us that what truly matters is today. Each day offers us the chance to shape our own future. With some self-compassion and small acts of courage, step by step you can create the life you want to live and one that reflects your truest self. Your past may be written, but your future is waiting and it is for you to write. We are here to
offer you support, understanding and gentle compassion as you begin to write your next chapter.
