No one else is responsible for your own happiness. It becomes all too evident as we age that our own happiness is less dependent on how others make us feel and more about what we are doing to take care of our own positive feelings.

Filling your cup
There really is nothing more important than the self-realisation that you have all you need. The importance of filling your cup instead of rejoining the hype and craziness of the pre lockdown rat race. This week has felt weird. My husband has been back at work for a while, my boys have returned to levelContinue reading “Filling your cup”
Level 3 is not Level 1.

Covid-19 Survival
“And then the whole world walked inside and shut their doors and said we will stop it all. Everything. To protect our weaker ones, our sicker ones, our older ones. And nothing . Nothing in the history of humankind ever felt more like love than this.” – CD I lost my part time job thisContinue reading “Covid-19 Survival”
