What Am I Doing?

Rachel Hawley-Thomas

Hey everyone, I'm Rachel and I have no idea what I'm doing!

How many times have we said that to ourselves? Me personally, I say it multiple times a week lol.

As children we get asked - 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' For me, I wanted to be a HGV driver like my dad, or a singer, or an actress, a ballerina, and sometimes even a Disney princess. But at the tender age of a child how are we meant to know, and even now at 38, I have no idea.

One thing I did know from around the age of 8, I knew I wanted to be a mother. That’s one thing that truly stuck, so here I am 30 years later with 3 amazing children in my life. As for the rest, I still have no idea what I'm doing!

There isn't a handbook to life, if there was, I wouldn't be here writing this blog, but there isn’t so here I am - and my point? Well, I would like to try and help others so they might feel a little less lost in life; in future blogs I will be writing about life, disabilities, single life and dating in this day and age, with some splashes about hobbies and how to balance all the spinning plates that motherhood brings.

So, this is me, Rachel, a single 38 year old mum of 3, and I have no idea what I'm doing lol x
