SELF CARE SUNDAY.
Yes, it’s a thing!

Please afford yourself the same kindness, patience and understanding that you would give unreservedly to a close friend.

I don’t know if anyone remembers but back in late December and early January I had an infection in my jaw. I’d been tremendously unwell from a virus from the end of November to early January. All in all I was sick for months.

Well! Today I had the final root canal treatment for an infected tooth that added to my January fun.

It’s been a journey and one I’m walking out of (I hope) in fabulous shoes. Both the dentist and many patients in the waiting room found they gave them a little joy.

Why do we need Pride Month?

Well, LGBTQI+ individuals experience significantly high rates of persecution, depression, anxiety and self-harm. According to MH professionals none of these are inherently caused by being LGBTQI+ but are in fact caused by the daily reality of discrimination, fear of physical harm and societal judgment.

That’s why we do not have Straight Month - we simply don’t need it.

Usually silent on such matters, in the foothills of suspicion and hatred being normalised again, I am not comfortable to remain so.

My best friend Nisha’s birthday today and if you believe the age she claims, I met her through friends in 1987 when she was just 18 months old. Actors. 🤦🏻‍♀️

A few of us had lunch in a garden centre near her home in London. A garden centre trip for a birthday is a clue to her being just a little over 40. 🙊

I play around a lot with (and actually play some) instruments and percussion used by civilisations with an ancient and powerful spirituality. I am fascinated by the influence their music has on our bodies and minds.

The videos are courtesy of capcut and there only to avoid a blank screen.

Produced with the help of my digital audio workstation, these tracks take me so long to get right! My aim is to quieten the nervous system and and hopefully reduce intrusive thoughts.

This is the sheep I solemnly promised that I would never eat her friends or family ever again. And I haven’t. She did have overwhelming sheep charisma.

I haven’t eaten her cute piggy friends for well over a decade. I think I will eventually stop eating anything with a heart beat and a face.

I thought I’d lost this photo and am so pleased to have found it! She’s going in a frame for my downstair loo.

A warm welcome to my new followers! I try to make my page something for everyone. It doesn’t always work 🤦🏻‍♀️ but God loves a trier.

My aim is to share a little bit of my professional and personal experiences to inform, comfort, reassure, inspire, empathise, sympathise and every so often, make people smile!

Painful events and a general feeling that we lack control over our lives can eradicate day to day happiness and erase any feelings hope for the future.

Having to manage emotionally unintelligent people also causes great harm to our mental well being.

My greatest objective is to help people find peace of mind. Emotional well health and physical well health don’t do so well without each other.

Across my social media, as well as sharing a little about my rather unusual life, I try to address stressful stuff. I don’t resonate with everyone I know - but it’s worth the risk!

Feeling comfortable with yourself is the greatest vantage point we can gift ourselves to see things for what they truly are and not what we think they are!
