At first glance it might seem that I am just a happy, normal girl who loves to bake and walk her dog. However, I have suffered with an eating disorder since I was 13. It was only in May 2014 when I realised that this Voice in my head was slowly but surely trying to kill me. And so began the long, hard, and painful journey which is recovery...

I want My Cocoa Stained Apron to be a special place...a place for reflection, memories, shared stories...and of course a little bit of cocoa-staining ;) Recovery might be the hardest thing you ever choose to do in this life. But it is also the bravest and best decision you will ever make.:)

Day 3: Your favourite quote!:)

I know!!! I am like so so SO late with my blog challenge posts and I do apologise profusely for that (I did warn you!! ;) ) Anyway, day 3, a quick little post for today. I have a few favourite quotes!! It was so so hard to single out a favourite one , but after considerable deliberation, I chose this one - it's at the centre of my inspiration board on the wall of my room (I might do a post about my inspiration board soon, as I really think they are such a wonderful thing to do in recovery, for a variety of reasons ;) . I think this quote is so so true of both life and recovery. <3 xxx


I dedicate this post to a the lovely, wonderful lady who gave me this. I met her when I was an inpatient in hospital and we became friends instantly. Whenever I was sad or down, she always brightened my spirits with her warm smiles and strong hugs, cheering me up with her funny anecdotes and news from the outside world. I will never forget her and will treasure this little quote that she gave me forever and ever. <3 Thank you, Eithne. This one's for you. <3 xxx
