Huge apologies to everyone for my long absence. I have been really busy at the day job, trying to re-establish my therapy business following my departure from raography training. It has been really interesting and I have learnt a huge amount about myself, and about how to market myself better, and the power of social media and blogging when doing this.

I have realised just how little effort I have put in over the years to marketing myself either as a therapist, or as a writer, and so understandably I haven't achieved the huge heights of success that I have dreamed of. I promise, that I am more determined than ever to ensure that I don't blow it this time. It is incredible how much work needs to be done to ensure that your name gets out there, to ensure people realise you written a book - let alone to convince them to buy it!

And then you realise that you could have been saving yourself so much time if you had just put as much effort into the marketing as you did into learning your skills - whatever they may be. I am realising that shortcuts such as HootSuite,  having a VA to answer calls, and using online databases to find interesting, useful blog/twitter/facebook posts (that are hopefully easy and enjoyable to read too) can make it all so much simpler. But I still like to make sure I keep the odd personal element in there, such as writing this, or personal DM messages to say thanks when someone follows me.

I'm getting there, and I promise I will try and get back here later in the week - I've been discovering VLogs too - you never know maybe I'll do one of those for you all too!

Oh, and Anna and Jim are slowly getting there - Jim is such an adorable man, but he is downright scary when he's angry - I didn't know that until this week!
