Slow-weaving music steals into my soul, soothing and calming it. The familiar hypnotic beat and bassline soothe me and allow my mind to float away in familiar patterns of disassociation. I can feel the part of me which cares getting further and further away, floating upwards from the burden of Truth and wondering idly whether…
There’s been a fashion party going on, and all the Mommies (and Daddies) were invited to join in with a project inspired by #365 Feminist selfie – to show their real selves, not the fancy-schmancy dolled-up-to-the-nines version. Well, you know I hate to miss out on a perfectly good party, so I’m gate-crashing. With my…
“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you” Maori proverb To my shame, I’ve forgotten from whom I received this challenge. It may have been Yvonne, as it’s the kind of eminently sensible, hugely complex thing she’d suggest to me. If it wasn’t Yvonne, and it was you, and I’ve forgotten,…
I’m just gonna stop you at the door. Usually I’m all down with the Good Seeking, Hope-Finding and Deep-Thinking. Usually tapping into these will keep me on an even keel (that, and talking with wise, wise friends). But today I’m done.For one post, I’m indulging (in an effort just to let it all out, but…
Infertility, how do I hate thee – let me count the ways…ONE (one thousand), TWO (one thousand), THREE (one thousand)… This isn’t going to be pleasant. Christmas this year was all set to suck, and I’d freaked out about it to the point where Christmas songs had me in tears, looking at Christmas cards, or decorations,…
Yes, there’s the wonderful Ten Twelve Things wrap-up/review of 2013 still going, and it’s a beautiful thing you should definitely join in with. BUT! There’s also this – wonderful TToT co-host Joy (from our European contingent) is hosting her own, rather beautiful, interview-style wrap up, so pop on over (WAIIIIIT – read this first )…
It hadn’t even got to the end of the week before I received several emails and Facebook messages from an assortment of people (the tones of the various pieces ranging from the vaguely interested to the pleasingly urgent) enquiring as to whether or not there’d be a link-up again this weekend for Ten Things of…
For the want of his inhaler, the sleep was lost For the want of the sleep the morning was lost For the want of the morning the day was lost For the want of the day the humour was lost For the want of the humour, the wagon was lost And all for the want…
Today I lost my sense of humour. It will come back. At some point. But for now I’m in a horrible place and life feels almost unbearable. Again. Hope flickered earlier today (those precious, painful hopes which I can’t quite leave behind) and Husby and I spent some time together, in a concerted effort to…
I think it wise to begin with music, which has soothed my soul and taken me through to the end of this post. It’s a heavy one. You have my permission to leave at any point. I wrote it for the Creative Buzz Hop, which sent round the pretty prompt of ‘Serenity’ this week. And…
