What matters is today..

Some of you may be new readers and some of you may be returning readers... either way, welcome!

I'm Erika and this is my blog, C'est La Vie. I've always loved writing and this is the place where I get to write and share things as well as being able to create awareness for PH. 

I've been writing my blog since July 2014, and my very first post was My Story,which went live on the 4th of July 2014. All though that was the start of 'Tinkerbellaaaaa', I then changed my blog name to 'C'est La Vie'. 

After a year of writing on C'est La Vie I decided to take a break and my last post was on the 1st of July 2015. Shortly after that post went live I actually made my blog private which took it off the internet completely and no one could access it. At this time, I had a lot going on, and all though my blog is to share my life through writing I only really share a small percentage which mainly focus' on my disease. It would be merely impossible to share absolutely everything and I always have tried my best to share as much as I can but there are some things I wish not to share and to keep private which I'm sure you can all understand. I was unable to write a post on what was going on and why my blog was coming offline, mainly because you wouldn't be able to access my blog to read it and also because I could barely string a sentence together, nothing made sense, and I tried so hard to write a Facebook status but I just couldn't, I would just sit there, staring at a blank screen trying to figure out what to write. In the end I wrote maybe a line on Facebook saying I would be taking a break and I'd be back soon... 

Well here I am, 9 months on...I'm back and I'm ready. 

People would ask me when I was gunna come back and honestly I was never sure if I ever was going to come back; but since working on a project with the Rainbow Trust, it's given me the confidence boost that I needed and it made me realise that a lot of what I write helps others whether they are in a similar situation or not, and if I'm able to help people through writing and being honest then I'm happy.

At the moment I can't actually share the project that myself, others and Rainbow Trust have been working on but I promise I can soon, honestly I can share it much sooner than you probably think. 

Also, since taking my blog down I've deleted Facebook, I did also come off Twitter and Snapchat for a long time but recently got them back. As for Facebook, well, I'm not sure about that at the moment. It will benefit my blog but it definitely doesn't benefit me at the moment. When I feel that the time is right for me to get Facebook back I will and I'll be sure to let you know but for the moment Facebook is a big NO.

Since taking my blog offline, I've had a lot of time and it's definitely time I needed. I don't regret taking it offline because it has benefited me in so many ways. I am so grateful for everyone that was there and supported me at the beginning of Tinkerbella as well as everyone that may be reading for the first time. It truly means the world!

Thank you so much for reading

Love, Erika
