Right now…
Right now…I want to talk to you. Just you. Just for a few moments. Can you spare me that?
Fixing my own boat
I’m sinking. I’ve been sinking for a while, if I’m honest. Probably since before I began this blog, a little over four years ago. Likely since childhood. Life works in ups and downs for us all, with a few peaceful patches, a surprisingly large number of dangerous squalls, and a handful of downright maelstroms. I’ve…
Depression, a thief of days
Like a lightning bolt from above, it hits me – my galling lack of integrity – that I’ve screwed up. Again. I’ve held myself up to unrelenting standards and outrageous expectations, neither of which I’ve had the strength of character to achieve, and so have been the author of my own failure.
On Stubbornness and Self
I wish I’d known…and with that, I bite my lip, downcast and suddenly unsure of myself, uncertain of my complaint. It seems flimsy now. Invalid. Because I remember you *tried* to tell me. You always tried to tell me.
P.S.A. I found something which works…
Happy Monday to you, lovelies. Goodness, it’s been so long since I’ve written anything for a Monday, I’ve almost forgotten how it goes. Hopefully the cobwebs will fall from the ‘how it’s done’ as I get on and do it, and everything will go according to plan (the plan being that you read this, engage…
Ten Things of Thankful (Even Though I Never Figured Out The Number) #10Thankful
Have you ever really stopped to consider your impact on other people? Maybe those young, impressionable faces in your lives, who look up to you as a role model, and who will be silently taking on board the way you live your life; the way you approach a challenge; the way you celebrate; the way…
Ten Things of Thankful 116 #10Thankful
I can’t quite believe I’m writing these words, but this is my last TToT for a month!!! For absolutely the VERY BEST of reasons – my trip to Murica is FINALLY HERE! And that’s why I’m writing this well, well in advance (no whips needed this week, Erin) on Wednesday evening; because there is SO…
Autumnal Anxiety
It’s coming again. Even whilst (some of) the days are still infused with bright sunshine and glorious warmth, I can tell it’s there, lurking, just around the corner. It’s dragging at the edges of my mind and turning them to cold and darkness and that damp smell of rotting leaves. It’s crumbling away the foundations…
Show Compassion with a Click for PACS1 (a #1000Speak story)
When bloggers work together, they can achieve amazing things, I am in firm belief of that, and I will NOT be shaken from it. 1000 of us banded together in less than three weeks to start the ‘1000 Voices for Compassion’ idea. But compassion is ACTIVE, and here’s a simple way to live a little…
Ten Things of Thankful #85
I’ve started this post three times and rejected each as pretentious and silly. I think you’ll read it anyway, because I trust that by now you know that I’ve got something a bit important to say, even if I can’t figure out how to get into it at first (and if you’re brand new, then…
