Define ‘It’

If you don’t change ITThen IT won’t changeMe – learning the hard way This was one of my key pieces of learning during my journey from chaos and acute anxiety. You can look around you for help, outside you, consult experts, read the best books, talk to all your friends, and all of this isContinueContinue reading “Define ‘It’”

Never Mind

When I realised as a child That I was always going to be wrong I didn’t think ‘never mind’ I just felt hurt When I wasn’t allowed to go to university And those hopes and dreams were stopped I didn’t think it then either I just felt lost Through decades of hurts That never neededContinueContinue reading “Never Mind”

My Right to Feel

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. What I feel. I always thought I was wrong when I was actually always right for me. All decisions must be internal. Take advice yes, but ultimately stand or fall by your own choices, and you will be far more likely to stand. It’sContinueContinue reading “My Right to Feel”

Just for You

To my fellow bloggers who seek to help, to entertain, to create change. Especially the many who write about peace, share helpful advice, reach out their hands across borders, across perceived barriers, to chat to people of different races, creeds, and cultures. Who share insights into other worlds, which is so important for connection. ThisContinueContinue reading “Just for You”

The Social Media Myth

I’ve been on social media for over a decade, maybe nearer 2 decades. I used to enjoy it, it was a place to connect with others, meet new people, I honestly thought that I would make new friends that I could meet. I have had some luck with that. I initially joined to connect withContinueContinue reading “The Social Media Myth”

I Am So Proud

I’m also very upset! Yesterday the UK was braced for about 30 marches by the racist people who have behaved appallingly. Instead we had a large number of much bigger marches, thousands of people turned out to call for peace, respect, and inclusion. This is Britain! I’m very upset because I’m obviously not connected toContinueContinue reading “I Am So Proud”

A Word to the Rioters

So you’re a far right radical? You believe. You know you’re right. You’re out on the streets making your point. Have you worked out yet how many millions think you’re wrong? The numbers are enormous. Maybe we should be out on the streets too, counter-protesting, but we understand the costs of that, the potential forContinueContinue reading “A Word to the Rioters”

Clear Vision

When you look at a person or situation you see from your own perspective. A perspective that may be skewed by your upbringing, friends, family, or life experience. Nowadays of course you may be being misled on social media. Other countries posting false information to destabilise societies. Interest groups posting fake news to make theirContinueContinue reading “Clear Vision”

A Better Kind of Radical

When it comes to living a collective life, the fewer people who stubbornly believe they’re right the better off we will be. Radicals are people who have attached to an idea because it makes sense to them, without ever asking others if it makes sense. Discussing, listening, asking why not, asking why it makes sense,ContinueContinue reading “A Better Kind of Radical”

Clarence: An odd reaction

Obviously I’ve been watching the fallout after the terrible atrocity in Southport. It’s been horrific hasn’t it?! You can’t quite take it in, not in the UK. At first I was very depressed and very angry, I’m sure you know that feeling. Such a disgusting reaction to an awful tragedy. But of course that’s justContinueContinue reading “Clarence: An odd reaction”
