editor's note
I lost my lovely Mam in late January, on a random Tuesday without fanfare or much warning, as she joined my Dad on high. At that moment, she left us al l bereft and shocked but also knowing she would have wanted no drama, no-nonsense, and to just get on with things - so I did. The morning after her passing, I signed my dai ly emai l to the community using my surname, something I had always said I would use when she was no longer on this mortal coi l - and it felt right to do so. This reclamation of self via my ful l name was quickly fol lowed by Covid and some health scares which means, the magazine has been late this past two months, but that's okay as it's a passion project and FREE which, to be honest, I was never so grateful for over the past few weeks! ! ! Again this month, our volunteer Columnists and Contributors have been generous with their words and talent and I am especial ly grateful to the many contributors who sent photographs, poems, and stories to share as each sober woman takes ownership of her 'thing' l iving l ife free from alcohol . From Team Madrid and al l at Hola Sober, we would l ike to wish you a fabulous month ahead with health and joy as we look skyward and say not today lady, not today.
And may my Mam, Martha, rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.
Lots of love to you al l , onwards + upwards.
