It's Launch Day...!
❤️Why have 19th August as the launch day, you may ask... A date that once held a very different meaning is now being reclaimed and given a new one. This is the story behind choosing 19.08.26 as the launch date for The Lies Love Hides website — and why, this time, the day is finally mine. ❤️
Why launch on 19.08.26?
I have a confession to make…
You should have had this website live five days ago. 😂
I was ready to launch on 14th August. Everything was coming together, and I was excited to finally put it out into the world.
But then, quite suddenly, it dawned on me…
I could just wait five days. In fact, I knew I needed to wait 5 days!
And that little thought changed everything.
I hadn't been thinking about the 19th. It wasn't part of the plan. But suddenly I remembered that 19 August 2017 was the day I got married.
And I knew. I had to launch on that date.
What makes it even more poignant is that as I write this, it is five years since I left.
And somehow, waiting those five days feels more significant than I could have imagined.
Because this time, 19th August is MY day.
It wasn't really my day back then.
But it is now.
And that feels pretty liberating!
For 5 years, 19th August was a date that existed somewhere in the background. It carried memories, but over the years it stopped being at the forefront of my life. It became just another date on the calendar.
Until now.
Because today, 19th August 2026, I get to give it a completely different meaning.
The date that once marked the beginning of something that wasn't what I believed it would be… now marks the beginning of something that is entirely mine.
My voice.
My story.
My words.
My website.
My new chapter.
And there's something incredibly powerful about that.
Perhaps that's one of the most empowering parts of healing — realising that you can take something that once carried a meaning you never chose, and choose what it means to you now.
I could have launched 5 days ago, but I'm so glad I waited. Because 19.08.26 feels right.
It feels intentional.
It feels powerful.
And most importantly…
it feels like mine. ❤️
Welcome to The Lies Love Hides.
A new chapter begins today.
