I have been absent from here for nearly four months. It wasn’t meant to be that long. Actually it was either going to be a monthly contribution from me, or I’d disappear into oblivion. As the Christmas break became less of an excuse, I thought it may be the latter, but I was once taught by a wise owl that ‘you can’t save your face and your arse at the same time,’ so I will fess up to the this not being a monthly but now quarterly quote. Actually thirdly quote, as it’s been a third of a year since I wrote anything.
I became entirely overwhelmed with being a therapist, my writing and looking after my kids and my mother has also been very ill. Turns out I’m not superwoman… who knew?
The thing is, I have run to one of my extreme corners which results in sabotage. Rather than taking a break, I resolve to ‘give it all up forever.’ Again, not much middle ground. The middle bit is where you get to feel your feelings, but I’d rather be extreme and let chat GPT invade my brain. Good thing AI is set to takeover the world then.
I’m back working as a therapist and am even teaching yoga again (please get in touch below to book a private yoga and breathwork session for up to six people).
I’ve scribbled some stuff for my novel, and remain permanently frustrated it doesn’t seem to be gaining traction (my reflections on why will be posted another day, save it is going to require taking a step back and doing some more patient reflecting, grrrr).
Again, perhaps chat GPT will sort that quandary out. It could even therapise you and I will be out of a job.
For now that isn’t happening, so if you would like to book a session with me, I offer a free 15 minute consultation where you can make the animal face the right way up, click where all the bridges and traffic lights are (has anyone in the history of mankind ever got that right on their first go?) …
… and check I’m not a robot.
