Flipsides of a coin
(Approximate reading time: 8 min) Dam, this back-blogging is difficult;-) I kind of see why people so often ‘sanitize’ their stories and leave out the yucky, dark parts of it, because when you are feeling happy and sunny….. it’s sometimes the LAST thing you want to go back to. At the moment, I feel a …
Triggered
Estimated Reading time: 8 min A little catch-up in my story;-) In February 2021 I had been working full time, for just over a month, teaching in the Reception class (with the Lovely Mrs Shawnigan;-) and that was when I started my Compassionate Inquiry studies with Gabor Mate. The world by that point was slowly …
The Hump
Written 2nd of February 2021 We live in a world, as far as I can see, where we constantly judge others and won’t let them be. We take our own truth, what we believe, Painting it all over other people we see. We assume we are right, that our way is the best we send …

That WAS the plan! (PART 1)

Forgiveness
(Written 26 February 2021) A word A feeling A thought So difficult to explain… A word A feeling A thought Intertwining with insidious shame… Anger seethes like a dog gnaws a bone. I say “I’m okay.” In my head, I throw stones. Why was I born with a skin of cellophane? Words burn through like …
