In the tent – Michelle Scott

Be kind to yourself

Some days life feels overwhelming. My mind is overloaded. My heart heavy. My emotions in the driving seat. My body weary. Yesterday had its share. My response is not always the right one, I’m not always kind to myself or those around me. The ‘shoulds’ get very amplified, and they demand loudly that I ‘doContinue reading “Be kind to yourself “

The path home

I get lost sometimes. I isolate myself. Shut myself off. Hide. I long to shrink, to take up less space. I try to become invisible and then before I know it, it’s difficult to make my way back. The light is dim, the path hidden, my mind confused. By far the most disorientating part isContinue reading “The path home”

In the tent: I need you

Come and still me. But what if part of this is you stirring the waters? What ifContinue reading “In the tent: I need you”
