Out of the Dark

When you’re struggling you feel the sensuous voice of the darkness trying to dim your light, often using the voices of those around you. This was my response. Be your own light Deb xx

Comparing the life of a blogging friend from the Philippines, to my experience of life in the UK. Very different lives, both have positives, but one clearly wins on natural living and family connection.

Double Edged Swords

Today’s writing prompt, or one three years ago depending on when you’re reading this, inspired me to think about the ways that we humans are so unaware of our impact. How we look at things only one way, when there is at least one more way they can be viewed. How our word comes fromContinueContinue reading “Double Edged Swords”

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”

One tiny planet that is minuscule even in terms of our own universe, a pinprick in space. Invisible from a few short light years away. WeContinueContinue reading “World Patriot”

Thinking About Beauty

Those who distrust the process of life, people, and the existence of happiness will subconsciously seek proof that they’re right. It’s all about attitude, perception, beliefs, and choices. We make those choices everyContinueContinue reading “Thinking About Beauty”

Annoyingly Helpful?

Love it I’m a person who can’t walk past a problem, if anyone tells me that they’re not happy I’m in there like a ninja, using every skill I’ve ever learned, every ability and piece of training I’ve ever had, and asking for all possible help and guidance. Anything I can do to help thatContinueContinue reading “Annoyingly Helpful?”
