About Me

Eilidh Horder and Suki the cat on shoulder B&W

Hi! I'm Eilidh, a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser currently based in the Belgian Ardennes with my musical partner, two children with super powers, six stray cats (at the last count) and Fido the Romanian rescue dog. He happens to have PTSD so he fits in well here.

The aim of this emotional and mental health blog is to share my experiences and reach out to others who might relate - a little reminder that we are not alone 🥰

Let’s talk about finding deeper meaning, peace, acceptance and self-knowledge. Love is all!

Turn down the white noise and find your own song!

If so, you're not alone. Here's why I did the Alcohol Experiment and gave up alcohol for 30 days (which turned into 19 months) in 2018 and why I'm doing it again now.

Instagram post 2152263659039133530_7831005161 Is there some habit that your partner or a loved one has that makes you feel sad or angry? Is there ever a good reason to nag? I’m fed up with carrying all this resentment and slinging those passive aggressive punches. Nagging my partner to stop smoking is a Bad Habit I need to kick! Wish me luck - for all our sakes!

Instagram post 2148926464274373145_7831005161 Hooking on to the #meettheauthor challenge suggested by @susanallottauthor - Favourite line I've ever written: I chose this one because I lived this moment and I remember thinking, 'I can use this. This has to be for something,' while I was waiting for my partner to have an emergency procedure. I'd seen him minutes before and he was hanging on for dear life. I was losing my mind while staring down at the marble floor... When I began to adapt my diary to a life-inspired novel, I came up with 'Dogs Drowning in Marble' as the title... and it's stuck so far.
