Sometimes happiness arrives on a sunbeam, seemingly out of nowhere, and unexpected joy takes over our lives. Other times life is so challenging we wouldn’t recognise happiness if the sunbeam smacked us straight between the eyes! Imagine that! Drowning in focus It sounds like an urban myth but it’s actually true, that what your focusContinueContinue reading “Creating Happiness”

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?”
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”
Island
Photo by Oliver Sju00f6stru00f6m on Pexels.com I’m a small space around which life takes place A hopeful person Always believing that fun and good times Kind and welcoming people Are out there somewhere But those lands are being eroded And the seas between them wider But I’m okay Because souls travel through air And althoughContinueContinue reading “Island”
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”
Fulfilled?
In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? When it comes to the day job I can honestly say that in 40 years I had one job I liked. But then I’m not a career person. Cleaning the house leaves me with a nice feeling, removing the stress of the dust, I feelContinueContinue reading “Fulfilled?”
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”
Look Deeper
If you’ve suffered abuse this blog may help, but this is about more general issues, nothing I write will ever trivialise abuse. Recently I had a weird situation with some people in my life. My husband noticed changes towards us both too. We weren’t sure what was going on and didn’t want to assume. AssumingContinueContinue reading “Look Deeper”
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. I used to describe myself as 3/10 must try harder. My younger brother and I agreed when weContinueContinue reading “I Mattered”
