Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and thank you to everyone that has supported me in 2021, professionally and personally.

It has been a really tough year for everyone. The pandemic has brought with it new ways of living and working and surviving! Sacrifices made and people we love lost. Women imprisoned in homes with their abusers – even less able to escape than before.

The light at the end of the tunnel is still very dim! But we can do this. If we all pull together.

We can make 2021 a happier, healthier and safer year for everyone.

Without the support and constant reassurance of Sharon, I know for a fact that I wouldn’t be where I am today. I am forever grateful to her. She is extremely dedicated and knowledgeable, having her on my side when dealing with someone as persistent..
