About me

Location Nottingham, United Kingdom
Introduction One sassy lady blogging about trying to stay positive when life goes off track. Doing my best to offer a dose of inspiration, humour and sheer fabulousness! I have gone from the fast lane (think career girl, big job, studying MBA part time, gym bunny, busy social life) to a rather slower lane. Life changed overnight for me 6 years ago when I became ill with M.E./CFS. Career Karen became Sofa Karen - although time on the sofa is getting less and less as my health continues to improve. I promise openness, honesty, humour and a dose of fabulousness. I write about my journey to carve a life for myself after 6 years out of 'normal' life. I am open and honest about the challenges of going on this unplanned journey. But I find positivity and humour are the best medicine. This experience has given me a whole new way of looking at the world and I appear to be a walking cliche who has emerged happier.
