There’s some major divisive energy happening globally right now, more so in the West than anywhere else. It has been going on for some time, but things are certainly hotting up. One thing I have noticed significantly is the splitting apart of groups, be it men and women or black and white but more so a definite difference in action. There tends to be many groups fighting FOR something and…
View PostIt’s easy right now to look at the world in terms of wrong and right, but what if there is a much bigger picture going on? I’m a woman, I was born a woman, but now my womanhood is under threat. This is how I feel right now as a woman born. I have noticed over the past few years (more so this year with the pandemic and lockdown emotions…
View PostWe live in an imperfect world, but so many of us are trying to make it perfect. We live in, at the moment, a more unstable and chaotic world. Disorder is everywhere and as a result people are understandably trying to create order out of disorder. The moment we are born, we are born into chaos.

Those who don’t want to leave lockdown, they’ve drawn some…
View Post‘When things are shaky, we are on the verge of something’ ~ Pema Chodron Looking at the world today, we could be forgiven for thinking we are heading for a fall.

View PostWe are living in unprecedented times, unprecedented being the keyword right now. This morning, Mothering Sunday in the UK when I write this post, I woke up with this unbelievable feeling of needing to ration what food I have, and it really made me consider and honour how much I do have. Like many I have probably been living a ‘poorer’ way of life in the sense of not having…
View PostThis morning I sat at my computer with a million thoughts on what is happening globally right now. I plan to write a post on self-isolation soon and what we can do to cope and manage this time, but understandably I also see an immense amount of fear. And often when people are really scared and don’t know how to handle the fear coming up, they point fingers of blame…
