INTO THE UNKNOWN

There’s a saying out there that I’m sure most of us are pretty familiar with. It goes a little like this… “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” The man behind this very famous quote is Neale Donald Walsch. Why would he come up with a quote like that? Honestly… I’m not entirely…

TODAY

Today represents what should have been. What could have been if pain and hardships didn’t exist. Today there have been tears. Tears for the loss, the grief, the dreams that shattered and the yearnings fractured. And yet, in so many ways today also represents hope and thankfulness.

40 DAYS

For a second words fail me as I try to take in the magnitude of what had unfolded and attempt to understand the reality of what was still taking place.

Firm Foundation

“This life is never settled. It’s not even very stable. But for the first time I have been able to stand on a foundation which didn’t rock. It was cemented firm.”

REBUILD

One day you’ll look back and see that some of the hardest things in your life have actually become the greatest gifts, the most valuable lessons and your most significant worth.

CHOOSE

But what I know is that one side is empty

And the other contains a joy

A deep purpose, love and significance

That the enemy will relentlessly try to destroy

Layers and Levels

This is why the darkness pulls. Because it’s so much easier to admit defeat than have to fight to be something more. It’s simpler to sit in nonexistence than try to be somebody on a daily basis. It’s easier to believe the lies than swallow the truth. To step away from darkness means facing into…

Mind Over Matter

I’m about to walk into one of the most challenging seasons of my life. These past few weeks I’ve had to make some of the toughest decisions I’ve ever had to make. My heart feels torn in so many directions. My feelings are screaming at me to take over. Emotions overwhelming to a point of…

THE TIME IS NOW

At the essence and core of all of us is the yearning to be loved. It’s intimacy. For people to know us. Love us. Understand who we are. Community. We are born with an innate need and desire to belong. You often hear people say “I’m an introvert or an extrovert.” But it doesn’t change…

I’m Back!

For a long time I lived as a victim and I had no clue how to regain control over my life, my feelings and my mind. Fear crushed me, loss of control gripped me and anger defined me. I walked through each day unsure if I would see tomorrow and I lived each moment wishing…

Open My Eyes

We live in a desperate and at times a scarily evil world. But every day people are making life transforming changes for others. And if there is nothing you can do right now – then that’s ok – but just by taking our eyes off ourselves and looking outwards, it changes the way we feel…

Rewritten

Life isn’t about getting lucky. It isn’t about waiting for ‘your’ moment. It’s about choosing to be who you want to be.

Operation Bullfinch

Sometimes life is harsh. And at times life is relentless. There are times I have looked into a baby’s eyes and vowed that I will never bring them into this world. There are moments like now where I step back, look at the choice I have to make, and accept I don’t know the right…

Impossible

Let’s not give up because it’s too hard. Let’s be careful who we choose to believe and what we choose to listen to. Let’s be wise in the words we choose to let our mouths speak out. Let’s become people who are capable, unwavering, tenacious and persevering.

Mastered Mind

The mind is a such an incredibly powerful force. It can enslave us to a point of no return or empower us beyond measure . It can plunge us into the depths of misery or take us to the heights of ecstasy.

Beneath the Surface

I stop and look around and am suddenly profoundly embarrassed at my judgement and critique every single day towards people I don’t know and those who I think I do know. I’m so quick to judge, so quick to criticise, so quick to talk badly about those who haven’t quite matched my demeanour or behavioural…

My Little Sister

In a world where fat or anything above a size 6 is unacceptable, mocked and made fun of, I look around and wonder how we let it get to this. In the UK alone it is estimated that more than 1.6 million people are affected by an eating disorder.

Pain into Passion

Pain is the fuel for passion – it energises us with an intensity to change that we don’t normally possess.

It’s a Wrap!

I now want to live! I am now excited about the future! I will never ever let myself fall as deep and as dark as I did last year December and the lessons that I learnt through it and that I have learnt since have been invaluable.

Life on Intensive Care

I look around and I see a world of lost people. Who are living with a mindset that ‘it’ll be ok’. Who live like they are fine today and right now and that’s all that matters. But in four weeks i’ve seen and realised that living like that isn’t ‘fine’.

Making it Count

Do you ever just take a moment out and think what is it all about? Ever just stop and look around and wonder how the heck you ended up here? Do you ever look back? Look forward? Or simply just question why and how?
