Cancer Support Group
Realising that my local area is missing a support group for anyone who has been affected by this awful disease, I decided to start my own.
Our first meet and greet is scheduled for early December, and I hope anyone who comes along finds the support they need.

Paranormal Path Podcast
The lovely Jacqueline Dixon from Paranormal Path invited me to her podcast to discuss everything spooky, including my childhood and growing up in an old house, my work as a paranormal investigator and consultant, as well as discussing my books and plans for the future.
Please ignore my dancing husband behind me. He didn't realise that I was being interviewed live and streamed nationwide.

We chatted about how my life has changed since my diagnosis and what spurred me to write my book.

Tanys Transformations
I heard about this project after a friend invited me to attend a fashion show and talk at Shepton Mallet Prison.
Watching the show, looking at the amazingly transformed dresses, and listening to the stories behind their creations were inspiring. Hearing that this initiative aided two mental health charities was even more so.
My friend encouraged me to volunteer to transform a dress. I left with a bag of feathers, ribbons, and a wedding dress. I didn’t have a plan for how I would transform the dress except that it would be the brightest shade of pink possible.
My dress tells the story of friendships and cancer battles, how some friends are strong enough to be there for you. Others are afraid of what to say and how to act, so eventually, they disappear from your life. No matter how bad things seem, keep positive that something great is just around the corner.
Transforming the dress was an incredibly cathartic experience. Making each of the flowers, knowing that some symbolised a lost friendship, was heartbreaking and a great release at the same time. It also filled me with joy and the realisation that I can be creative and craft again.
Attending the fashion show at the Bishops Palace, I was incredibly nervous. I knew there would probably be a large crowd, which I avoid now. No matter how I try, I cannot reprogram my brain to realise that my immunity is no longer compromised to the point of having to be hospitalised - I hope with time that this lasting side effect will disappear.
I want to thank Tanys from the bottom of my heart for everything she has done for me and for everything this initiative has the potential to achieve.
