The curtains rise
And then they fall
This is my life - my one and all
I know I’m watched
I hear my name
They shout “encore”
And sometimes “shame”
I tread these boards and utter words
I hear the echo
Am I heard?
I throw my voice
I know my lines
My words the link connecting time
Do you know me?
Do I know you?
It matters not who loveth who
Time standing still
Time moving on
Performance lived
Then said
Now gone
Should I laugh?
Should I be sad?
Today I’m good
Tomorrow bad
Who can tell me?
Who can judge?
Who thinks I’m nice?
Who bears a grudge?
Who wears what mask?
Who needs of me?
I turn around
What do I see?
So many parts for me to play
A daughter once
A wife today
Someone who works
A mum who cares
A timid mouse
Someone who dares
I get it wrong
I get it right
To your chagrin
To your delight
You judge so much
But who am I?
I am the truth
You make the lie
The thing that hurts
Where I get lost
This is my life
I’m not the boss
Yet…
This is no stage
This is no game
This is me in all but name
I stand before you in my truth
To take a fall
Or raise the roof
The silence waits
Applause or strife?
This is no play
This is my life!

I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
