Written the 27th July 2021 I am just average as normal as can be There is absolutely nothing Unique or special about me But what I am is determined to get it all out The rage, the anger the crushing doubt Because maybe just if I can purge my soul It’s true what people say …

Learning to trust my gut
Approximate reading time: 6 min It’s been a bit of an up-down week really. On Tuesday I said goodbye to my lovely flatmate Richard who is going to India for 4 months. I can’t remember if I have already mentioned that he started a charity in Goa that organises volunteers to go and work and …

Approximate reading time: 3min Written 12th July 2021 Today was amazing I had such a great day As I sat in the staffroom With some colleagues as we played… a domino championship I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed so much It felt a little sublime I sat feeling connected Happy Anxiety free Grateful …
Deep breaths
Approximate reading time: 14min Written the 3rd July 2021 I’ve been writing reports for the last three weeks it’s been exhausting and tiring (Been feeling pretty bleak) So conscious of my jaw that’s clenched like a rock But I’m happy I’m learning to quietly take stock Of my emotions my feelings inside of me And …
Manic Monday

Learning to dialogue
Approximate reading time: 11 min I am officially 48! (I am happy to report it is not nearly as scary as I might have imagined!) So, it’s been one of those weeks that started out amazingly (As all birthday weeks should start) and then nose-dived into a pile of inner child madness!!! This is what …
Feels like skin
Approximate reading time: 1 min Written the 26th May 2021 I’m not sure what’s got over me? A change A shift of sorts I see. Conscious of my breath (almost all of the time) Using it more to calm myself down More able to stand up and say I disagree You can have your own …
What was I thinking?
Approximate reading time: 12 minutes This week has been amazing and terrible all at once:-) Let’s get the terrible out of the way. Sometimes I’m not quite sure if I am brave and keep pushing my boundaries or just plain stupid and keep crossing my boundaries. (It’s such a fine line you know!) After deciding …
Just a great day!
Approximate reading time: 4 min Written the 19th May 2021 Today I had the absolute BEST of days one where my inner child Karis comes out to play Connected, relaxed in tune with everyone Conscious of my kiddies all having fun I had an epiphany An illumination of sorts (Just sit tight I’m gonna tell you …
