Yesterday was a difficult day for me. Things are b

Yesterday was a difficult day for me. Things are becoming less and less ‘normal’. My reaction was to act in ways that are no longer my ‘normal’, but which used to be my unhealthy ways of (not) coping. Guess what, those behaviours still don’t serve me!
I confided in a friend who said,
You’re doing great. Glad you have given yourself a wake up call. It’s ok to be rubbish sometimes, so long as it’s the exception to being your exceptional self!
And so I remembered some tips that helped me on my journey to recovery from anxiety and depression.

In these strange times, you may have your kids at

In these strange times, you may have your kids at home.
How are you coping? Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed and winging it… Like most of us. Those kids are going to drive you up the wall at times.
But here’s a reminder that you’ve got this! You can do it! You don’t need to be perfect. We all make it up as we go along.
There’s a rundown of five Parenting Superpowers you have – but you may have forgotten about in my blog!
When you’re faced with a situation where your immediate reaction is to react — possibly not in a way you feel good about later — here’s how you can engage those Superpowers instead:
• Pause
• Assess
• Engage your Parenting Superpowers!
Enjoy engaging those superpowers. Enjoy the time with you kids.
They’re precious – and so are you.

20 year medal as an EU civil servant. Received it

20 year medal as an EU civil servant. Received it in the post. No ceremony.
Here's me... No make up, surrounded by weeds in the midst of a state of emergency. All seems kind of an appropriate way for it to arrive in my hands for so many reasons.
A lot happens in 20 years... I still believe wholeheartedly in what the EU represents. Freedom. Peace. Friendship.
Equality. Citizens' rights. Animal welfare. And so much more.

Sending love and strength to you all out there ❤️ ...

You know that feeling when you're waking up from a beautiful dream, a memory, to your reality… and you don’t want to? You don’t want to wake up and leave that warm feeling – perhaps the feeling you had the evening you fell in love.
You can read ‘Marvel at those rays of light’ in my new post on Medium – friend link in bio. It’s a short extract from my first novel (in progress), Dogs Drowning in Marble.
Lisa is resisting waking up the day after her partner was admitted to Intensive Care. She is half-asleep, half-awake. There is a sky light above her with sun rays shining through…
I wish you wonderful dreams – and I hope you wake up to an amazing reality. If you don’t want to wake up today… please remember that change is the only constant. When things are bad, they always get better.
Sending love 🥰
