I’m writing this down because I’m old I know the rules I mustn’t think that I could remember these words Because I’m past it Over the hill On the long slippery slope To happiness Finally You though I was going to say something else Admit to being a has-been Admit that the world has passedContinueContinue reading “I’m Old?”

Within/Without
We all know that our minds control our lives, our thoughts create our reality, and yet it took me a very long time to understand how key that information is. I used to say the words, believe the words, but I never actioned the words. I never grabbed those words by the throat, shook themContinueContinue reading “Within/Without”
Walk Softly
Photo by Anete Lusina on Pexels.com Walk softly through life Other people’s lives are not yours to trample on Their minds are not yours to destroy Their decisions are not yours to question Their motivations not yours to define They are not you Nor are you always right You may think that you know bestContinueContinue reading “Walk Softly”
Does the Law of Attraction Work?
The Law of Attraction is a more complex thing to understand than at first appears. It’s often sold simply as: decide what you want, ask for it, you get it. It was quite a while before a guy I follow, Mike Dooley (www.tut.com), added “visualise, show up, do something.” That’s the Law of Attraction plusContinueContinue reading “Does the Law of Attraction Work?”

Not Lost Anymore

Just to help
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world? I used to suffer from terrible acute anxiety. I was born into a very messed up family, no abuse, but I’m still seeing the effects in my younger brother and until recently my cousin, to this day. I way toContinueContinue reading “Just to help”
Self-ish
Photo by itsmeseher on Pexels.com Another poem about the struggle to make a relationship work, and support each other without giving yourself entirely away, and ignoring your needs. Hopefully a meet in the middle poem. It’s unfashionable to be selfish Un-natural not to care more for others than yourself But you have needs and wishesContinueContinue reading “Self-ish”
Not Just Other Worldly
It might sound when I write as if I’m almost entirely other-worldly, which is miles from the truth. I’ve always been a person who loves people, and I meet as many amazing human beings as I connect with incredible off-world beings. For me both words and images are things I hold onto during the difficultContinueContinue reading “Not Just Other Worldly”
