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.
I didn’t really know what to write about this week. There isn’t a lot of variation in the news apart from Covid-19 angled stories of late.

For theContinue reading “Level 3 is not Level 1.”

I wonder if it’s because we have a potential end line in sight, something we are all hanging on to, something that is giving us hope. Or maybe youContinue reading “Lock-down life.”

The past has been left suspended The future seems frozen As though someone has forgotten To write the most important piece: An Ending… Share, breathe Literally watching you grow I long for myContinue reading “It doesn’t feel right…”
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”
