Fear no longer controls me…
Ok, maybe it does but a fraction of what it did. Since my post last week Led by Fear I have been more aware of when I am letting fear get the better of me. For instance, the string of the courtesy flag we fly on the mast of our sailboat broke and it needed …
Led by fear…
I am going to tell you a secret and I hope you can be honest with me in return. I have been led by fear for years, decades even. The majority of my friends and family would never agree, they would say that I do pretty much whatever I want whenever I want to. They …
I need to stand up for myself & notice when I’m being disrespected…
My choices in life have led me to allow others to disrespect me. I’ve allowed it and just stopped noticing when it is happening. So then I don’t stop it from happening and it just keeps continuing. How did I find out I was being disrespected? I told my man some things that were said …

Schema-therapy Part 2
I’m just going to be completely honest and tell you I’m feeling extremely emotional and scared about my upcoming session this afternoon. Last week I was left feeling drained after my first session of schema-therapy and rescripting (link in previous post). During the session I closed my eyes and found my safe place first, then …
Real love?
On Wednesday I had a lovely girls day with my friend P. We had a South American lunch with Sangria, then went to my local cafe for coffee and cake. Lots of girly chats and laughs. Later in the afternoon we sat in my kitchen and had a cuppa before P set off home. I …
