Let me share a flash of light on a dark news day. Today a 2 month old warrior, my godson, gasped his 1st breath without a ventilator, heard his own cry & his beating heart beat all the odds a week after life a saving operation. Best news ever #miracleshappen

July 19th is a day I should celebrate, my wedding anniversary, but it's one I dread every year. No point in pretense, my heart is destroyed but tonight I'll toast my husbands memory. His other anniversary looms in 4 days time. Not a good week, bear with me💔

Again Greece suffers as fires burn & yet still tourists fly into Rhodes. Take it from one who has life-altering burn injuries - risking it all for that 'holiday' is simply not worth it. Love & strength to those fighting for their lives & homes #staysafe 💔

Thank you @YoungCaoimhe @SundayWorldMag todays piece. Laughed out loud reading about my 'clickety heels, leather pants & a million bracelets'. You forgot to mention that I was also the loudest person in the office! 🤣❤️ #asthesmokeclears #reminiscing

Thank you @ellegordon3 @VIPmagaz for this fabulous piece in the May issue. The interview was so positive - my heart flipped when I saw Brian's name & Hero in a headline. Reckon this means he's officially a VIP now (secretly he'd have loved that) ❤️ #VIPhero

Challenging week. The season of good cheer can be anything but, when you miss loved ones. This is true for so many at Xmas. Attempting to commemorate those that are gone (the past) while keeping one foot in the present & both eyes on the future #balancingact

As @ecatmc so rightly said sometimes social media can be a wonderful place. The support I've received over the 2 days has been incredible. Soaking up the love & virtual hugs. Proof if needed that there are some lovely people out there ❤️ #kindnessofstrangers

Jab no 1 done. I'm so grateful to my lovely doc; didn't feel the needle & bar a mild ache have no side effects (🤞 it stays that way). Docs were insanely busy but never complained. Proof once again that they're the warriors in this pandemic #hopeonthehorizon

A little excerpt from 'As the Smoke Clears' in today's Irish Independent. Good to share happier moments like the incredible kindness I experienced from friends and strangers alike, when I finally stepped out into the real world once more @Independent_ie #kindnessofstrangers

Have a wee dose, not C but walloped for last 2 days. Alas slumber was disturbed by fire alarm in apartment block. Panic ensued (PTSD alert) Fled wearing mismatched PJs & gripping handbag shoes & passport. Neighbours think I've lost the plot 🫣 #flashback

Each December I review goals I set in January. 2021 was challenging, my 1st resolution was to stay alive so I can tick that one off the list. Its quite a powerful exercise reviewing progress. Many achieved, some are going back on the list for 2022 #lifegoals

Its my birthday & I've a wee dose of the #birthdayblues . Feeling older yet the promised wisdom that comes with age hasn't yet arrived. Probably lost in the post again! Now if the universe let me win the #lotto tonight, that would ease the burden #justsaying

Thank you @sundayworld Lovely piece about today's announcement @AnPostIBAS Includes a gorgeous quote from @joeliveline Today has been a whirlwind. So grateful for all the support. Brian would be pretty chuffed too, somewhere out there he's raising a glass

It was a joy talking to @PatKennyNT this morning. I'm a lifelong fan, so was maybe a little over excited. He was a total gent, really enthusiastic about the book and it was a very enjoyable interview #mystarstruckmoment #AstheSmokeClears

Ok I'm aware I may sound like a loony toon but tonight I witnessed at least 5 shooting stars that moved in an erratic pattern in the skies over Wexford during a 5 min period. Like watching a pingball machine in the sky. Shooting stars, aliens or #meteors

Talking to the fabulous @ElaineVMTV this afternoon about my book, grief & moving forward in life. Spent the last 2 hours changing dresses (they all look the same) applying makeup (enough is enough) & fiddling with my hair #nervousenergy #AstheSmokeClears
