I have finally started my meditation journey. I have always been curious about it and as many people turn to practicing mindfulness, for various reasons, I also took the leap. I quite fancy shutting the world out. Having the ability to quiet my mind. I have an inner monologue that is permanently mulling things over. My brain is constantly absorbing …
Can’t Wait
Can’t wait to see you. Can’t wait to be with you Can’t wait to give you a hug. Can’t wait to celebrate your birthday with you. Can’t wait to have lunch together. Can’t wait… Time in lockdown is many things but mostly, it’s time away from family and friends. A coffee with mum, a liquid lunch with your …
My Babe
Ever heard the expression “Out of the mouths of babes?”. Often used when a child makes a somewhat brutal and honest comment. In their mind they have made a wise and frank observation. To an adult with well built boundaries, filters and manners – these observations can be hilarious, cringe-worthy and often rude. There is nothing quite like being insulted …
Tapping and Snapping
I have no idea what life will look like on the other side of this lockdown. The days seem longer. Every issue magnified. Some days I don’t sweat the small stuff. This time has given me perspective. It’s highlighted what’s important; family, health and love. It’s also shown me how much I hug people and enjoy being hugged. Other days …
Rainbows
As I write this, we are supposed to be celebrating Easter and yet we are all very far from jubilant. The Coronavirus is still centre stage in our lives. Everywhere is quiet, apprehensive and desolate. We are allowed out, once per day, for exercise. When exercising, we are to remain local to our homes and only exercise with people we …
Dear Vital Organs
I’m sorry if I haven’t shown you the love and respect you deserve but please stay with me. I will do better. It’s been a rough few months health wise. February and March were very stressful. It started with an acute attack of palpitations at the start of February. They were so intense, I honestly thought I was having a …
Teaching Mummy
Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, all schools have been closed. The last 2 weeks, prior to the confirmed closure, were very tense. So much unease amongst parents. My daughters school closed on Friday 20th March. Every day I would second guess my decision to send her to school. Her education is important but her safety was all I could think …
Hope in Quarantine
Well I didn’t mean to take a month off from my wonderful and cathartic blog but that appears to have been the case regardless. I quite like March. The month of daffodils and the much needed hope of spring; peeping out from behind the clouds of a chilly dark winter. March represents my RP anniversary. The 12th of March to …
It’s Good to Talk
I love how this slogan is thrown around now. Like it’s the only way, people who are struggling or who are dealing with overwhelming situations, will be able to get through it. Sometimes it does indeed help, granted but not always. Talking is great but our choice of conversation partner needs to be greater. I always think of Bob Hoskins …
Month of Love
Well hello there Sexy February how you doin’? Yes I am a Friends fan and I’m not the least bit sorry! Hope your Valentine’s, Galentines or Anti Valentine’s Day, completely rocked. Whatever you did and whoever you did it with – I hope it was a happy one. My husband and I celebrated our Wedding Anniversary on Valentine’s Day. Yep, …
