Because

One world one love

Who are you?
A stranger
Someone I’ve never met
And never will
So why should I care about you?

Because

You could be my child
I could have given birth to you
Raised you
Held you
Helped you to take your first steps
Changed your nappy
Marvelled at your first giggle
Nursed you when you couldn’t sleep

I could have given you life

I gave my child life
I did all those things for them
It was the greatest part of me
Being their mother

You are a child of a mother
Loved as much as my child
As important as my child
As precious
And that is why

You matter
And I should care about what happens to you
That’s the difference between

Love and war

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
