DAY TWENTY-FIVE | THE BEST KEPT SECRET OF 2025 | A HUGE BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK AT MY NEW PROJECT: GRACIE’S WAY | A SECRET BLOGMAS 2025

“It is so much extra work to keep things a surprise. I need a nap just thinking about it! But it’s so worth it when you can actually pull it off!”

Taylor Swift

Merry Christmas!!! I sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed all the Blogmas content this month – well, judging from the statistics, you have! To finish A Secret Blogmas 2025 off in real style, in a very special way, and in keeping with the theme of the entire month, I thought I’d finally disclose my largest, best kept secret of 2025: the creation of Gracie’s Way! This Project, its website, and Instagram will be officially launched on January 9^th, 2026 (what would have been Gracie’s third Birthday), but I have so much content planned for that, and I wanted to make today and the final Blogmas secret, really important…

WHY I’M ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED FOR BLOGMAS THIS YEAR!!! | REVEALING THE BRANDING FOR BLOGMAS 2025 | HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2025

“And one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear, but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.”

Paulo Coelho

Having used Halloween the past two years to reveal the fact that I’m creating festive series’ of content (you can read the one announcing Blogmas Unboxed in 2023 here, and the one announcing Blogvember in 2024 is here), it almost felt natural or expected to do it again this year too! So, at the end of this blog post – when I’ve finished talking about all the reasons why I’m terrified to do so – you’ll find the title of this year’s Blogmas series as well as the logo for it! And despite my fear and reluctance, I am really excited to reveal this year’s series (which will be daily content from December 1^st – 25^th) and I sincerely hope you’re all looking forward to it too and that you end up enjoying it because it’s taken a LOT of hard work…

MASSIVE PROJECT TITLE REVEAL!!!

“Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning”

Gloria Steinem

So, my last blog post was kind of quick, wasn’t it? I thought of it as literally a little note to explain why I wasn’t able to blog so much, because I really didn’t want to lose any of you guys by being silent for so long. So, to show my gratitude and appreciation for your loyalty and support, I wanted to create this very special post. Having mentioned numerous times across my social media and in the last blog post that I’m doing a ‘huge project’, it’s finally time to reveal what that is…

INDICATORS OF RECOVERY | REVEALING THE BLOGMAS 2022 GRAPHIC!!

“Choose thoughts that give you the emotions of being alive and excited about life”

Bryant McGill

With the start (December 1^st) of Blogmas 2022 on I’m NOT Disordered getting closer and closer, I’m getting more and more excited, and so I thought I’d have a quick chat with you all about how this has proven to be a good indicator for just how stable my mental health recovery is, in the hope that this post can help you can find your own indicators. I also thought I’d take this opportunity to encourage some more Christmassy excitement, so there’ll also be a reveal of the Blogmas 2022 graphic created (using Canva) and which will feature on all my social media accounts and in all the upcoming festive content here on I’m NOT Disordered…
