As I pondered the question raised in a blog post on Pointless Overthinking by Betul Erbasi. I was reminded of this poem I read in a local Christian magazine many moons ago. I wish I remembered who to give credit, but this poem has stayed with me. Sometimes choosing to share as a note in … Continue reading The Sentimental Heart

Self Care – Journal
This week I took some time to practice a little self-care. I have to admit it hasn't been a priority since the lockdown and I guess I fell into auto-pilot and then self-condemnation at the time I had wasted. There was no mental relaxation. I tried meditating, and for those moments or days, I felt … Continue reading Self Care – Journal
Random ramblings
I've been feeling exhausted. Not physically but mentally. Tired of my thoughts, tired of overthinking, tired of any and everything I think I have to do, should do, want to do but don't. I know I should be practising self-care, but when I take a moment to think about what to do, all I come … Continue reading Random ramblings
Glitch in the Matrix
Deja VuMy production levels started well last week but by Wednesday I found myself distracted by social media. Endless scrolling on issues such as Black Lives Matter and COVID 19. I then got distracted by a particular Celebrities posts. He seemed to be posting manically which I identified immediately because that was me declaring in … Continue reading Glitch in the Matrix
You can’t hit a target you can’t see!
Last month I set a few small goals and was pretty pleased with myself as I crushed them. I finally organised my wardrobe (two days), cleaned the house and went through papers and documents and I started writing on my blog again. I decided to reward myself but couldn't think of anything so I purchased … Continue reading You can’t hit a target you can’t see!
I can, I will.
I'm back. It's been a while. I guess it would be fitting for me to begin with an update. The first thing I'll start with is I finally secured that desperately needed job which I started and was doing pretty well until the lockdown happened, then I had to take on the new role of … Continue reading I can, I will.
RIP Caroline Flack
I don't read newspapers or watch the news because to be perfectly honest I don't need the extra anxiety of knowing all the tragic things that are going on in the world and even though I avoid news like the plague I am on Instagram so it's almost impossible to steer clear of major events … Continue reading RIP Caroline Flack
Back to the Future
About last week Last week started ok until I woke up one morning to a barrage of audio messages from my ex which I initially ignored until he sent me a text suggesting I'm ignoring him when I'd decided I didn't feel like going through emotions and feelings from the past first thing. His or … Continue reading Back to the Future
Sometimes we need to go backwards.
I wrote my first post in November which was a pretty big step toward talking about my Mental Health Journey and though I would have written another one by now. I guess it just wasn't the right time but I had to check and I had written to posts which are probably incomplete because I've … Continue reading Sometimes we need to go backwards.
Overcoming…one day at a time!
I have been trying to write my first post for a while, but like most things, I aspire to do I engage in the battlefield of my mind.  I sit down to start typing and my mind decides to wander. Thoughts about my spiritual journey and the constant feeling of not being enough, my life … Continue reading Overcoming…one day at a time!
