FOUND AND LOST
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? Is love cool? I don’t feel like it is. I found out very late in life how real love feels, and no one was more surprised than me. Real love is wanting the happiness for the other person even if you have to stay on the…

THE OCEAN AND I AM BUT A DROP WITHIN
I feel the sand between my toes damp, cold, gritty and sharp as I walk towards the foam lying upon the sand. The waves mesmerising me, calling me forth to take one step and then another. Cold and afraid I walk towards my destiny. I am alone knowing that I am drawn to them just…

MY THREE WISHES
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? Without the one, the other two won’t come to pass so it’s something I will keep to myself. Travel and distance means separation is inevitable. So I live in the moment, keeping those wishes in my heart holding them in a sacred space that…

THE SADNESS IS UPON ME
My name was not chosen for me. Both my sisters (who both sadly died far too young) were going to have my name as my mother liked it so much. She was persuaded to choose other names. These sisters were 10 and 15 years older than me, and as a surprise pregnancy just after the…

MESSAGES
I inadvertently deleted all the messages to and from my dear friend on messenger today. I had kept them as far back as 2012 when I casually asked if he could help trace my grandfather’s grave. Apart from intermittent birthday wishes, it was not until we both found ourselves in need of living friendly support…

There’s no Green at Waverley
Green 💚 represents the heart chakra. So that’s why I have chosen this title today I am listening to Nirijan Kaur as I write this and “I am” comes on next and I am reminded of the manifestation chart you sent me three years ago with the words IAM written on the heart in the…

MY DEFENCE MECHANISM IS SELF DESTRUCTIVE
A recent group family outing photograph, allowed me to see the health damage I have been inflicting upon myself. Allowing winter weight to pile on the pounds is my familiar “go to” defence mechanism whenever I am struggling emotionally. It’s a pattern deliberately (whether consciously or subconsciously) I see myself absorbing when faced with emotions…

NO TIMELINE FOR GRIEF
Yesterday whilst talking with my dear friend, I was reminded how although Helen Kubler Ross described the stages of grief so eloquently (and this is generally accepted by bereavement support counsellors all over the world) there is and never will be a timeline for those stages. Loss, especially when met within a loving partnership heightens…
