Beauty in the smallest things

Just before I went on holidays, a butterfly flew into our conservatory. After a bit of a chase, I managed to catch it and set it free in the garden, and got this photo as a result.

Deepest Fear

Time to Change - to end discrimination against those with mental illness

Today the charity Time to change released 2 short films to challenge attitudes toward mental illness http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/online-films I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety over 10 years ago. It is an illness, but isn't the be-all- and-end-all of me, although on some days it seems it, just as a broken arm doesn't define a person. I am still me, just more enlightened, working on being more positive and some days I succeed. Please help to end all discrimination, not just for mental health, but that's a good start. I am me, I'm not a diagnosis. Thank you and sending love and best wishes xx

A Crisis in Confidence

I know I'm not useless,
I know I'm not crap,
But when the negative voices start
That knowledge takes a nap.




I'm actually not too bad at the moment but this came to me as I was sorting out the washing, so I had to write it down, otherwise it would be lost and might never surface again. Such is my brain sometimes ;) xx
