You were the making of me
Even though you were breaking me
Because you made me aware
Of who I didn’t want to be
I re-made me
Thoughtfully
Kindly
I looked at you
And I chose differently
I chose to walk a human path
Where no one around me
Needs my approval
Has to meet my standards
Or needs to fear not being perfect
I chose to recognise my own humanity
In others
To support not destroy
To encourage not criticise
To enable not disable
I chose to be me
Not you
Or the person you thought I should be
Weak
Vulnerable
Downtrodden
But I was none of those things
You were
Because you were fighting for survival of the self
At the expense of those you judged to be better
Because you’d been told you were worthless
It is not the way to heal
I saw you
I heard you
I learned from you
I knew right from wrong
And I chose love

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
