Hey there to you. Welcome to my Margarita-style blog. We like it salty and sweet here. Salty language but with sweet truths. Cannot wait to hear if you have any topics you'd like me to cover or even your comments. Let's do this
The weather is pretty shitty today – here in Queensland. Dark, rainy – just glum really. If a day could have an emotion – and I like to think they do – today is lonely. How do I know – well, I spent a hell of a lot of my childhood lonely. Mostly because […]
I know, I know…you just want to help them. Your motives are pure….(hmm we can talk about that another day).
You want nothing more than to show them what you see so clearly about them.
But it will mess up your relationship.
Good relationships are horizontal. One line right next to another. No line higher than the other.
We don’t eat takeaway food a lot. I could pretend I am all holier than thou and “clean eating” or whatever trend is happening now. BUT – my man doesn’t like it – or doesn’t like paying for it – or prefers my cooking – something like that. So I always feel a bit […]

But don’t let Dismissive-Avoidant attachment fool you.
People with Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment can look fiercely independent, or even like Narcissists. But – their problems are usually all about low self-esteem. The same as someone with an Anxious Attachment.
My meditation practice began formally when I was about 14 and stumbled onto it myself. I was always a bit airy, fairy, woozy, doozy, so I read some books on Spirituality and found a type I could do. In hindsight, a very lucky little camper. I do think sitting high in a tree […]
Dealing with parents. I tell you – I’ve had a week of people having to spend some time with parents that they don’t really want to be around. Not sure if it’s the lockdowns or just life. But – I thought – heck Rebecca (I avoided swearing – did you see that?) – you […]
Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN) is what didn’t happen to you or for you when you were a kid. The stuff that you needed to properly prepare you for life.
