Women Part 2
I used to think that I was just over anxious about rape or attack. I can be prone to catastrophising and anxiety so I thought it was just me. But I have realised that most women are aware that we are physically weaker than 1/2 the population. We are instantly at a disadvantage.
Women Part 1
It has taken me the most of a year to post this, and in many ways, I might only now be processing it 11 months on. Here is part 1 from my scribbled musings. I’m hoping to return to our friends in India early next year. If you’re the praying kind of reader please pray for my precious friends there.

My ‘one thing’ for 2016 & 2017
New Year’s Eve has to be one of the most reflective days of the year. I find it melancholic, although since I tend towards melancholy it sits with me just fine. I’ve found myself in a reflective pose for the past 2 months. Reflecting on this time last year, on how difficult that season wasContinue reading “My ‘one thing’ for 2016 & 2017”
self care
Alarm bells go off in my soul when I’m at the end of my tether. This is their sound. One, overwhelming tiredness that looks like loosing my thought mid-sentence and not even realising I’ve stopped talking. Two, that awful whirring feeling inside like I’m on a hamster wheel and can’t get off because THERE’SContinue reading “self care”
