About Me

 Hi, It's good to see you 💚🌿

I live in East Sussex, England.  I'm very lucky to live about half an hour by foot from the sea, with my partner and youngest son.  My eldest and mum live close by.  I'm one of those people who often says 'I don't do family!' crossly when people try and get me to go to events (rampant introvert here); but I spend much of my time with this little nuclear family. (And most of the pandemic wishing they would go out so I could have the house to myself for 5 minutes!)

Here I'll be doing lots of exercises and journalling from lots of different books and approaches.  I find I best know whatever it is I'm thinking if I write it down. Sometimes I'll share a practice or meditation or spell I think works well for me, and therefore also maybe for someone else.  But mostly, I'll be trying things out myself and letting you know how they went. Activities, events, books, y'know - life in general...

I work from home at the moment, so it'll likely be a bit of a post here, a bit there.  I'll try to be regular, but I'll not promise - as pressure isn't helpful for self-care and growth.

I reckon the best way to grow and evolve is to stay accountable to myself - to think aloud and be brave enough to put my thoughts Out There, with you all. Be those thoughts about my lifelong pagan leanings, love of Buddhism and Quakers too, or ongoing mental health ...I want a better word than 'issues' and can't right now think of one! I have a strong tendancy to sadness and anxiety, and the best way to move through is to write it down - but carefully, to avoid unintentional wallow or blame. So there will likely be some overthinking to go with the woo! ♋ ♒ ♐

Who knows - books and art and psychology and philosophy may also get written.  If it's making me, the patchwork that is me, I'll talk about it.

If you're bored, there's a world of other blogs out there; but if you aren't, I'm happy to see you and hope something I say might ring true to you.  Where there's one, there'll be others; none of us are alone when our thoughts can be seen... (That came out way scarier and less comforting than I intended!)

It's good to meet you.
