We have to live every day as it could be our last because it's not promised to us.
And that in part informed
your journal idea.
You touched on it before the ad break, but you left your job and have gone full throttle with these journals.
Tell us a little bit more about them and the different editions that you have.
And it is so important, isn't it, to to leave your mark in this in this world.
It is I mean, I wouldn't say regret because you can only do what you can do, but with my own dad, he'd so many stories from working he used to work for Irish Life, so he used to call door to door to collect the insurance money from people.
So he had so many stories about the various people that he would call to because he all saw all kinds of
fantastic sor stories, sad stories, funny stories.
And my dad was a brilliant storyteller.
And I always w meant to sit down and get them from him and put them all in a book and kind of call it Irish life.

Not to sell, just for us.
Um I did it with his sister, um, was a nun and, you know, he'd lots of stories about going to visit her and the
in in in the convent and bringing his parents and we we put that together and gave it out to his siblings and that was really lovely and we meant to get to the other one but then he got dementia and the stories got lost in a way.
And and we're we can all have that.
Even I looked at my kids' baby books.
I I unearthed them when we moved house and you know, you swear you'll remember all the stories of how you felt or the little words they used.
And you don't.
Life moves on as it should.
