Found


I found myself today
in my archives

Going through the highways and byways
Of my life

I found the girl who sat down and wrote
A poem

Not a bad poem at all
A poem that brought hope

Then someone asked
“Will you write me a leaving poem?”

I did
And I never looked back

Today I was clearing out
All the fusty old memories
From my writing

And
I found that poet

I found that enthusiasm
I found that heart

Not talent
Talent is involved
In all levels of life

But it is heart
That makes things real
I am real again now

I was there all the time
Inside my computer
Waiting for me to revisit the past

To go back
To find my future

The only future that ever made sense

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
