‘You have a problem with confrontation’ ( a psych nurse)
‘You have not confronted the most important person yet - yourself’ (My counsellor)
Yikes….my body is wracked with fear and anguish. My experience of confrontation is negative….scary…frightening. Confrontation means I will upset someone, rock the boat, stand up for myself (and I always seem to fail at that). The last person I want to upset is me. I have already rocked my boat by giving up on my marriage….so what exactly does [...]

Posted in Depression, Dragonslaying, anger, creating amazing, emotional well being, ex husband, learning, men, mental health, mother, relationships, self awareness, self esteem, separation, women on July 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »

When I was a child I was not allowed to express my anger at what I perceived to be injustice or unfairness. If I did, I was accused of being ungrateful. I had to be ‘good’ and it was somehow my fault if I was bad and I was never able to day something or [...]

Well this is not about my relationship with the ex for a change! This is about me, you and everyone else! I am rather chuffed to say that I have been noted for responding to a clip of a scene performed by Sydney Poitier noting how it reflects what we are capable of if we [...]

The Curse of financial commitment

Posted in Depression, anger, emotional well being, ex husband, family issues, letting go of the past, men, mother, relationships, self awareness, self esteem, separation, women on July 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »

Well what can I say to start this off? I am separated but connected. Connected by the mortgage document my ex and myself signed a number of years ago. And darn it we have still not sold the house! It has been 3 months, we’ve lowered the price but until it sells neither of us [...]

Learning to say NO!

Posted in Depression, Dragonslaying, In the Community, My personal story, anger, can do, creating amazing, life, love, relationships, self awareness, self esteem, teenage girls, women on June 16, 2007 | 3 Comments »

Ok..I have a life long problem…I am not good at saying ‘no’. It’s a simple word. I can do it well in the classroom when I have to, and sometimes I have no choice but to say ‘no’ because it costs too much and is not in the budget – but that’s not the kind of [...]

Well it has been a rough couple of weeks – but I am at home with both my girls at last. Even miss 17 is home. Dad has found alternative accomodation, so now we can settle back into some sort of routine. Oh how nice it was to be back in my own bed!

Ok…I am getting daily mailings from Brian Kim and this image just made me smile:
Think of your mind as a hose out of control spraying every which way.  You want to grab control of the hose, turn off the negative thoughts that are spewing out, and hook up your hose to positive thoughts and spew [...]

The body language must have said it all!

Posted in Depression, can do, creating amazing, emotional well being, letting go of the past, life, mental health, relationships, self awareness, self esteem, separation, women on May 4, 2007 | 2 Comments »

I am feeling so excited, appreciated admired and even loved at work…and that is something I have not felt for a long time! For the past 3-4 years I have been a very lonely person in a workplace of 100 staff. Few people gave me the time of day and to be honest at times I [...]
