2013: The Year in Lessons
2013 for me started and finished much the same – with pretty horrible depressive episodes. Both were triggered by work-related stress. The first was much, much worse, owed to going through some rather personal difficulty. Basically I spent the first 2 months of 2013 feeling only hurt, then nothing at all, before I started to…

Owning Life
There is a moment when people decide that what they are doing with their lives no longer betters them. Generally speaking I feel like this moment comes too late for most. I can’t fathom why we as a society feel pressure to stay in jobs we aren’t happy in, do things we don’t like or…

That’s about how long there is until my next work party. Can you believe Christmas is only 16 weeks away? This year has gone so fast! I have loved having such gorgeous weather this summer. It’s been beautiful. But can I let you in on a secret? I can’t wait for Autumn to fully hit.…

The Lies Depression Tells
Depression is cruel and although I’ve dealt with it for most of my life it’s been a rare thing that it hasn’t been manageable. I can certainly count those times on one hand and am thankful that I have support and love from people in my life to help me through. 2013 didn’t have a…

Living in the Moment
Last night we went to London and saw Jason Mraz. I have liked his music since his first album, then as you do, things move on. His latest albums however, brought me back to him. The messages in his music are something I need in my life right now. Don’t worry, live in the moment,…

Time
(Source) I have time this morning that I don’t usually have. Time to wake up properly, at a pace that seems reasonable to me. Time to think, read, connect and enlighten myself. I was reading someone’s website and it occurs to me that I used to be some of the things I see there. Artistic,…
