Okay, so I know this is a little late, but I would like to wish my WA family a happy and healthy 2017.

Many of you will already be aware that 2016 wasn't one of the best years for me and so I can honestly say that I am glad to see the end of it. And that's what I intend it to be - an end to a bad year and no more looking back; from now on I will be looking forward and attempting to create an inner feeling of peace and positivity.

As I am usually the one who tries to keep positivity going, may I ask my friends a favor? Could you please wish for a better year for me and my family? Both of my daughters have health issues which will continue to be a worry to me and my own health remains precarious, but I do know that I have been saved for a reason and I thank whoever was responsible for keeping me here on this earth.

Onwards and upwards to a brighter and better future for all of us - we are in the right place at the right time.

Thank you everyone for your friendship, compassion and kind words - I hope to be able to repay you all in kind.

Ciao for now my lovelies,
