THE PEACE BEASTS
Declare your imagination and inspiration!
The Universe conspires to make your heart-felt dreams and wishes come true. There seems to be a lot of bad happening in the world - no surprise - we accept that with no question. Why? Why do we often readily accept the bad but question the good? Choose a different message. For yourself. For others. Declare yourself a Purveyor of Peace! A Sower of Smiles! Become an active creator of the joyful world you wish to live in.

These little beasties are NOW AVAILABLE in my Redbubble shop:

Chances are we all have suffered or know someone who is suffering from depression. It’s natural to want to help those we care about, but choosing the right approach is important. Claudia Giolitti-Wright, a psychotherapist in New York, cringes when clients with depression report back on what their friends or family members inevitably say to them: “But you have so much to be grateful for!” It is, she believes, the No. 1 worst way to respond when someone opens up about their mental-health struggles.

Not yet standing on top of the world this year, but at least at the top of wonderful Bergen, Norway. Who knew that one may need a waymarker for 2023 this summer?

What kindness have you seen recently?

“I saw a photograph in the Guardian Saturday magazine that had been taken by a photographer friend of mine. When I messaged him to say that I liked it, he asked if I might be able to send him my copy of the magazine when I finished with it because he hadn’t been able to get hold of one. I was happy to pop it in the post to him.”

I had a really great #AroAce community evening today.

I learned about #RelationshipAnarchy and the #Smörgasbord and we discussed why people in amatonormative couple relationships, who turn from two "I"s into a "we" find it so hard to use "I-messages" in conflicts, but have no trouble using "you-accusations".

This pride month I want to learn more about different relationship types and possibilities and want to find a definition of "friendship" for myself.

Feel free to give me input.
