This is an anonymous story collected from the public as part of THE WOKINGHAM ARC PROJECT.

I am a mother and partner, a textile artist, a volunteer, a maker of stained-glass.

What makes me feel alive in my local area is being together with friends and like-minded people, people responding/looking around at small things.

Home means family and friends, they are part of life’s journey. Spiritual home - things that are passed and times that are to come. A safe place, an inspiration place.

I am finding strength to carry on after trauma. Slowly being aware that life is improving.
