Thomas birthday

Such a joy to celebrate Thomas’s 4th birthday today! So many emotions… so proud of him saying ‘wow’ when he got a card and ‘thank you very much’ so enthusiastically for his presents…

I remember back to his birth and the tumultuous hours and days that followed. Me begging the nurses to allow me to take him home from hospital… pleading with them not to do any more blood tests as each one found more and more things wrong with him… the contrasting joy of being able to finally take him home 3 weeks …

When did you stop dancing?

Sky

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a shaman or medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions.

When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?

Where we have stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experienced the loss of soul. Dancing, singing…

Never doubt there are possibilities

Neurodiversity

Never doubt what your kids can do!

Celebrating Theo Smith, who wrote this:

“I’m Dyslexic & ADHD sat here on a Sunday writing a business book which is now north of 60k words. Anything is possible! When I met my wife at 22 my spelling was terrible.

She did it!

Theatre

She did it! I’m so incredibly proud of her! Performed on a West End stage in front of 500 people!

She did amazingly, getting the coach, being backstage in London all day rehearsing amongst the sets of Phantom of the Opera, performing so beautifully and getting the coach back.

An incredible experience for them all and such powerful memories to draw on… ‘if I can do that I can do anything!’ – yep you can!

Children are magical

Baby

Mind blowing conversation with Ellie (8 and a 1/2 years old) this morning:

Ellie: Jason came to see me yesterday

Me: Did he?

Ellie: Yes. He was a strange fly with a long body.

Me: With big wings?

Ellie: Yes.

Me: Any particular colour?

Ellie: Yes he was green

.Me: Sounds like a dragonfly to me.

Ellie: Yes he sat on my lunchbox for a bit and then flew off.

He can shape shift now, you know, mum. He can be whatever he wants to be, just like Maui from the film Moana.

Me: that’s amazing!…Sp…
