She was me

That’s how it was

I am her

And that’s how it is



Mother and daughter

Daughter and mother

Friends first and foremost

Never to be separated



When she left I left

But I stayed

And I know that she would want me

To be happy in this life

“No matter” she would say

“No matter what”



She too lost people

But she never lost herself

As I will never lose me

In her memory or in her eyes

Or my own



I will be the daughter she knew

I will be the happiness she craved

I will be the mother she admired

And the woman she wanted me to be



I will always make her proud

Just by getting up in the morning

And living my day

By smiling

By singing in the shower

By giggling at the absurdities of life



By loving and giving

And receiving

Because she was special and deserving

And I am her



By shining like a star

As she did

I honour her

An in so doing

I honour me



As she would wish

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
