#BLACKLIVESMATTER I’ve been in tears this week because I singlehandedly can’t fix racism. I’ve argued. I’ve researched, I’ve watched, I’ve listened. I’ve stayed silent online because I am fearful and not wanting to say the wrong thing. Black Lives Matter. George Floyd mattered. They matter to me. George Floyd’s brutal killing by police is soContinue reading “Black Lives Matter”

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. I am a little over thinking about Covid-19, stuck between being sick of wondering when things will return to normal and suspecting we are somewhat already there.

Finding reassurance
I drove my car this week for the first time in 27 days. I went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription and came straight back home. My husband has done our essential grocery shopping and apart from bike rides to exercise and entertain the boys, we’ve remained home the entire lockdown. It feltContinue reading “Finding reassurance”
Homeschooling is not for me!
Today marks one week since I began homeschooling my two boys in lockdown. Today marks one week of survival. As I sit here grabbing a precious few moments to write, they are back on their devices to give me a moments peace. I had planned to write this week about finding reassurance and hope inContinue reading “Homeschooling is not for me!”
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”
