Difficult Question

Posted bydebdancingstarhawken7Posted inUncategorizedTags:,

When are you most happy?

For the past 39 years the answer has been ‘when I’m with my cats’ and it still is. It would also include ‘when I’m with my husband’ but he has such a demanding job that’s it’s rare that he can fully relax. Somehow I feel that he would agree with what I’m saying here.

His job has sucked the life out of our life. It’s one of those where you sometimes have to change areas to get a role. Our first move, away from my spiritual home was caused by an Australian who thought he knew more about the way England worked than I did. In fairness he had been here a few months.

Our second move was to cut down his travelling time for another job. He just worked longer hours. He really doesn’t have a choice. Problem solve for your staff all day, attend meetings, do your work after 5 PM. Deadlines don’t wait.

Our last move was because he couldn’t get a role where we lived, or where we wanted to live, so we moved nearer to Birmingham. 2 1/2 hours north of my friends and I don’t like driving.

So…

I landed up gradually staying indoors more, completely happy with my writing and my cats. Understanding hubby’s pressures. I was okay with this until recently.

Although the image at the top is about cats, and not quite true, they’re incredibly giving and loving creatures if treated well, it’s equally true of my husband’s work.

I can’t do that anymore. I used to be so dynamic, and it suddenly feels like exactly the right time to get that back. I’m reaching out and making connections.

I will still be at my happiest with my little family and extended family, including some amazing friends, but I need to build up the happiness, add more.

Nowt wrong with that!

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
