Manic Monday
Approximate reading time: 10 min I have a confession to make. When I posted my “I’m sooooo happy post” last Monday I had pretty much had the worst day teaching I have had in just over a year. (It was horrible) All I needed to do was come home and proofread my post, one last …
Happy anniversary (Me!)
Approximate reading time: 7 min I hope you are all well:-) Today is the one-year anniversary of me posting a blog post every week (at least) for a full year. (It may not seem like that big a deal to most people but for me it’s huge!!) It’s only taken 13 years of intermittent blogging …
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 …

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 …

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 …
Thank you
Written 2 April 2021 I’m still trying to finish “Finding my words” A month and a half later isn’t that absurd I’m suddenly very mindful that I need to take a break I’m emotional, teary my chest physically aches So I quietly sit down take some time to meditate A hopeful attempt, perhaps some calmness …
My Tears
Approximate reading time: 2 min Written on the 28 th 2021 Memories this morning of being a little girl tears overflowed when I got overwhelmed Hating the anger Hearing those words shout “Keep it up and I’ll give you something to cry about!” As if my frustration and hurt simply weren’t enough I grew …
Loved
Written 15th April 2021 I’m sitting in my chair overwhelmed with gratitude tears stream down my face what else can I do? But capture this feeling of absolute love put down on paper what it feels like to be enough It’s been a horrible day still reeling emotionally inside completely exhausted still wanting to hide …
