Everything begins with a Question The power of a question. That’s where it all started and I’m marvelling now at the power of a question. ‘What’s wrong with me?’, The question that started my journey with Sven Erlandson’s self-help book, ‘There’s a Hole in My Love Cup’. I knew intimately what was wrong with myContinue reading “Last Day – Camp Sven”

Day 6 – Camp Sven
Unhealthy habits, ones I’ve been embroiled in for decades, they’re going, going, gone. One of the great side-effects of ‘doing the work’ to get healthier in my heart, in my mind, in my soul – healthier in spirit and a place of “filling my own love cup”, is that I’m also getting physically healthier asContinue reading “Day 6 – Camp Sven”
Day 2 at Camp Sven
I’m up to chapter four in ‘There’s a Hole in My Love Cup’ by Sven Erlandson. To look back or not to look back? Sven’s an ‘it’s all from your childhood’ counsellor. I was a former eye-roller at that kind of therapy message and more of a ‘build a bridge and get over it’ kindaContinue reading “Day 2 at Camp Sven”
A Journey with Sven
I’m embarking on a journey and I’m pretty excited! A journey into my soul. A journey to let my light shine out, bright – blindingly bright! I know it’s there, I feel it in my bones, so everyone better go get their sunglasses! Writing It Out I love to write and I intuitively wrote allContinue reading “A Journey with Sven”
From hell to happiness – what a difference a year makes
Happy New Year! Welcome 2022. Coming into 2021, I was in the hellish position, or I should say, imposition, of getting rid of a drug and drink-soaked abusive bully of a con-artist ex-husband. He was responsible for the Concorde ticket to hell, his own hell he dragged me into. Extricating myself from him was difficult,Continue reading “From hell to happiness – what a difference a year makes”
Freedom!
This bright morning, I’m singing Good Morning Freedom! (Def Leppard) In reality it’s misty outside, early this Sunday. But everything feels and looks bright to me because I have my life back! My freedom back! Finally! Yesterday afternoon, the ex, he loaded his possessions into a van while I took the pack for a walkContinue reading “Freedom!”
I love women
I’m a girl’s girl, a woman’s woman. I adore women and I’m eternally grateful to the women who raised me and the women who’ve laughed, cried and journeyed this life with me. Be afraid of a woman who describes herself as a “man’s woman” or “I don’t get along with other women.” Whatever gender youContinue reading “I love women”
Let’s hear it for the boys!
You might think because of the suffering my ex caused me I don’t have a very high opinion of men. Not true, I don’t have a high opinion of him, but I’ve had the privilege of having some amazing men in my life. I was lucky enough to have incredible male role models growing up.Continue reading “Let’s hear it for the boys!”
Falling out of love
When I’m in, I’m all the way in. Ride or die. There was nothing I wouldn’t do. Now I’m all the way out, I see I didn’t see all of you when I was all the way in. I missed the serious flaws that make it impossible for you to love the way I do.Continue reading “Falling out of love”
