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 […]

I’m going to hit you with a set of clues, and you can decide which one was the decider for my 1st marriage ending: Choosing “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” as our wedding song- lyrics “everybody needs a little time away” Me saying “It’s not my fault you are such a stupid human being” less […]

    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.
