Having an ‘off’ day

We can’t always expect to feel fabulous 100% of the time. It could be illness, hormones, what you’ve eaten, how others treat you and an innumerable amount of other daily things that can knock your boat. But how do you bounce back? Let me tell you about a boat rocking day and how I managed

Seeing your worth

Let me tell you a story. A good looking 18 year old with the world ahead of him and a career in the army pending, meets a girl in a bar and things get serious. The boy and girl fall in love, the girls a little older with two children and her own little home.

Healing from a bad relationship

My friend has started to turn a corner on her healing and this is how she did it… 1. She talked, a lot, I listened patiently, and she talked about the same thing a few times but she talked. 2. She cut off those who didn’t serve her. Sounds odd yes but if someone is

Feeling depressed and sad.

I have mixed emotions when thinking over the past year. So many bad things have happened. Not the least of them Covid.

Be Yourself, Love Yourself.

A friend of mine has just watched a webinar on ‘What Pushes Men Away’, this friend now believes they know what they did wrong in a previous relationship. Wow. No. This is not right at all. If you love someone, you love them with all their imperfections, unconditionally. Never ever change who you are as

Journey of the mind

Bottling all those emotions over years and years can weigh you down so much and create a black hole, that’s ever expanding. Yesterday’s session

Sun

As the sun hits my skin I feel the warmth like a healing bandage Taking away my sorrow and pain Healing me from within I see the rays Making everything seem better horses in the sea sparkling like a dream I feel a smile, it’s strange and bitter sweet I deserve to be here, the

Re framing thoughts

We all have negative thoughts from time to time, some more so than others so I wanted to write a little blog on reframing. I myself have looked into the garden on a grey day and seen a mess. What I see when I look closely though is something completely different. Those toys show my
