Hi! I’m Nikki and I started The Ocean Sighs in the early days of the pandemic. We were still in lockdown and I was struggling: my mother was in hospital, my relationship was ending, and I was working in Health Care. Although I am not a writer, I needed an outlet to process everything that was going on.
Like so many others, Covid-19 enabled me to deeply reflect on my life and make some significant changes. As the new normal blanketed every crevice of our world, lives, forever changed, began to merge through the cracked foundations.
I started forging a new path with great determination and momentum, but unexpectedly stumbled and fell. The past couple of years I have been bruised and broken, both literally and figuratively.
But . . . I did not falter. I am on the right road.
I want to share my journey with you. For the next year I will move forward EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
I will let go of the past, forgetting the shame I have been harbouring without just cause.
I will release the person I never became and embrace the person I was always meant to become.
