Karma

What is Karma? This question has come up for me several times in my life. I have wondered what it is, what it means and if it exists.  Whilst in depression I blamed Karma for all the crappy things I had experienced.  I used it as a way of torturing myself.  Telling myself that because … More Karma

Rejection

I will never forget the feeling of reaching out and being rejected.  Nothing makes you crawl into your shell like reaching out and being met with a “no”.

Freedom of speech

Find your Voice

This month, I set myself a challenge to write a blog post every day. It was an exercise to find my voice, to change my narrative, to share my story. Some days, the words flowed like lava down a volcano. I’ve shared parts of things I’ve written, and I also I have pages of writing … More Find your Voice
