The good things

What things give you energy? Nothing saps my energy more than the violence and unkindness in this world. From social media, through being unable to trust our police forces, to inter-family spite, school bullying, bullying at work, genderism, colour prejudice and on and on. Thinking about our various societies just makes me want to putContinueContinue reading “The good things”

Now I have a headache!

Which topics would you like to be more informed about? I can’t begin to make all the topics because I may be interested in things I didn’t know existed and what if I forgot one of those?! 😱 I am eternally curious. Part of the reason I’m not an expert in any subject is thatContinueContinue reading “Now I have a headache!”

Asking for help

I just want to help I meet many people who talk me that they don’t like to ask for help, they prefer to get on with ‘it’ on their own. Those people rarely change. When I needed help I didn’t even think about not asking. I sought every piece of help and advice out there.ContinueContinue reading “Asking for help”

I Mattered

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. But very little else did. I was raised begging for attention, for fairness. No matter how hard I tried, how well behaved, I could never win.

And on and on and boringly on. Reality checkContinueContinue reading “Don’t Fear Your Greatest Teacher”

You are without joy Overwhelmed by what shouldn’t be Shouldn’t have happened Or been said Or done But it was said And it was doneContinueContinue reading “All the Hope You Cannot Feel”

A Mother’s War

Photo by Veronika Valdova on Pexels.com This poem is close to my heart, it reflects on why world peace is something I won’t give up on, the idea that humanity can be sensible and respect each other, and stop being scared. I can only give one small voice to this battle, which is the realContinueContinue reading “A Mother’s War”

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”

Hope More

I find sunflowers hopeful and upliftingPhoto by lil artsy on Pexels.com When you want to illustrate hope there are so many ways to do it, but for me nature reminds us that we can come back from a winter of the soul. Year after year, decade after decade, it does what it does, and nothingContinueContinue reading “Hope More”
