Approximate reading time: 15 min Ok, so I am finally ready to finish my attachment theory post, following on from my “The problem with pink elephants post”. In case you missed the point of my pink elephant ramble – I can summarise it all for you in one sentence: I think the reason I love …
Just a random rant
Approximate reading time: 18 min I have to admit at the moment I am struggling to write. I feel like all the positive, happy energy has been drained out of me….and I can barely even remember bouncing, jovial Gayle who wrote almost ‘a post a day’ a couple of weeks ago. I have a half-written …
The problem with pink elephants…
Approximate reading time: 8 minutes I’ve been quiet, I know…. 😉 Unfortunately, this week (and next) are my ‘Much-deaded-teaching-in-school days’ where I actually need to do some real work. I’d love to say that it has been a pleasure to be back this week…. but alas I cannot lie. (I am not sure if I …

Flipsides of a coin
(Approximate reading time: 8 min) Dam, this back-blogging is difficult;-) I kind of see why people so often ‘sanitise’ 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 …
A day of contrast
I just have to say, today was AMAZING!! I had my first day of online lectures for my master’s course in Attachment Theory and… I’m not going to go too much into the logistics of it all…cause I am a little too excited to even be sitting down and writing at the moment…..but I just …
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 …
My Relationship with Shame
Written 8th of February 2021 Another camp I’m being sent to stay For delinquent adults Who’ve lost their way Dad’s there again Waiting in the car I’m hunting for clothes Near and far I’m scared I’m worried Not sure where to begin What clothes should I take Will I fit in Dad’s hooting now He …
