Author: Dawn-Marie
Hello!
I'm Dawn-Marie and I love exploring my home country Scotland whenever I can.
I started my blog in November 2015 as a personal challenge and to teach myself to write and learn new digital skills. I soon realised that the only way to learn is to do it yourself.
I also feel that my blog will eventually become my personal legacy. My children can look back and hopefully enjoy reading about my challenges. I love them both very much.
Running and walking are what I do most, but I also love hiking and cycling. Getting outdoors in the fresh air with my eyes gazing across our beautiful landscape just makes me feel so much better.
Fitting all this in to an already busy life with family and work can prove to be challenging though!
I hope you enjoy reading my stories and feel inspired to challenge yourself to try something new.
It's so important to be happy in life. Do what makes you feel alive! 💙
