From Jan 2016 We don't always enjoy our stormy emotions, but maybe we should appreciate them more? Like real storms, they clear all the things out that we've been neglecting. And we always feel better, and clearer after they have passed. (Maybe it's all those negative ions they create?) I...
Sacred Sexuality
A few years ago I did a course called Dancing Eros, where we explored feminine sexual archetypes through embodiment and dance. I'm talking sacred sexuality. Not sexiness. Real, earthy, gritty sexuality. Sensuality. (Don’t get me wrong – learning strip tease and burlesque can be awesome for your confidence. But this...
Reflecting On Love and Deserving
I was widowed when I was 33. I was told by someone who didn't even know me that well, that it was so obvious that what we shared was not common. It was one of those rare loves that very few get to experience. I had been exceptionally lucky. That...
High Profile Sex Abuse Cases
High Profile Sex Abuse Cases in the Media. from 12 May 2015 People who comment on these high profile cases of retrospective sexual abuse, by asking “Why would they come forward after all of these years?” need to sit in some of the rooms I have sat in. To witness outwardly...
Gaslighting In Reverse
I read an article on Facebook the other day, which referred to gas-lighting.That process whereby sociopaths will chip away at a person's confidence,by way of subtle, negative, manipulative comments.Much the same process is employed in paedophillic grooming. It's a form of brain-washing. Insidious, subtle and very effective.Quite probably, lots of...

This One is Personal
(but maybe you will relate?) If you are going to try and cheer me up when I am depressed, then we can’t really be friends. I don’t mean for ever. But for those times. My friends need to trust me enough to know that I am not planning on setting...
Hurt
It seems to me that people can hurt each other so casually and think that it is OK. The other person should "grow some balls" or "not be so sensitive".But we are each individuals and what hurts us is what hurts us. It makes no difference if someone else finds...
Spirituality vs Religion
So, just what is the difference between Spirituality and Religion? Some people ask, so I thought I would give you my take on things. I recently saw a post on Facebook that said “Religion is for people who are afraid of going to Hell. Spirituality is for people who have...
Some Days Are Hard
Today I am tired, disheartened and disappointed in my lack of vitality/progress. It makes it hard to keep my vibration high. I am not patient. I don't always feel loving. I feel like crap! How am I supposed to bring positive change to the world like this? But I look around...
