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?”

Morning Human

I found this on social media this morning and thought how true it is. We are the product of our entire experience and it changes us in so many ways. Sometimes the effect is positive, sometimes not. Sometimes it takes time to encompass past events and allow them to either fade or bring out theContinueContinue reading “Morning Human”

Not in My Wildest Dreams

Did I ever think I’d constantly write about being quiet and preferring peace. In my youth I had all kinds of ideas, but no idea how to achieve them. My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”

The ‘sigh’ in the Room?

When you suffer from mental health issues you’re often treated like a pair of curtains. People try to be sympathetic, lose patience, and suggest that you try harder or pull yourself together. They may not use those words but it’s implicit in the chivvying up process. You can’t whip yourself together with one smart pull,ContinueContinue reading “The ‘sigh’ in the Room?”

Happiness – Snippet

People will tell you that happiness isn’t possible, don’t believe them, that will only make you miserable too. Thinking like that can lead to a long life of believing the worst, not trusting life, and sticking with all the wrong decisions because if it isn’t possible to be happy, why bother changing anything. Might asContinueContinue reading “Happiness – Snippet”

You Are NOT Your Bank Balance

One of the little pieces of blackmail I have always ‘loved’ is that if you don’t charge enough for your work you don’t value yourself and other people won’t believe in you. That, or charging weeds out the losers. To a certain extent that is true, because some people value money in the wrong way.ContinueContinue reading “You Are NOT Your Bank Balance”

No idea

Just live! What will your life be like in three years? I don’t have a clue? Isn’t that wonderful?! I find that if you try to think ahead you will always see more of what you have now. Whereas if you go with the flow and keep your eyes wide open, you never know whatContinueContinue reading “No idea”

Peace and Quiet

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive? I need a lot of peace and quiet. As an empath I pick up on emotional energy, and even way before I knew that I was happiest upstairs on my own. Never had a problem with it. That’s our ultimate security blanket. I do love peopleContinueContinue reading “Peace and Quiet”

Square Peg!

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I’ve felt out of place most of my life. I felt out of sync with my family for as long as I can remember, and eventually that imploded. I kid you not, years ago I could walk into a room, take of my coat,ContinueContinue reading “Square Peg!”

Happy Things

What details of your life could you pay more attention to? Focusing on happiness whenever and wherever you can find it changes your vibration. Looking on the bright side of life attracts you to those things. We’re not made to live in the darkness of a troubled mind, unfortunately that’s what our society focuses on.ContinueContinue reading “Happy Things”
