I remember back in early 2020 of those early warnings; signals; rumours and fears of the prospect of moving into lockdown. It’s March 23rd 2020 – and Scotland takes a new paradigm shift – Pandemic Lockdown. How would we react in this new normal? A close friend mentioned “You’ll love this” – not sure atContinue reading “Can there be Life – Between Rock and a Hard Place?”

Are you Free Today?
Hello, Sunny here. Today’s feeling along with reflection on Action-Work-Labour in The Freedom to be free by Hannah Arendt. I have noticed a big change within me. I have begun to accept more of pure humanness, which I have not been aware of. My feelings, my needs, my reasonings, my wants and desire, my urges,Continue reading “Are you Free Today?”
Belonging Everywhere yet Nowhere – Memories of TCK/ATCK
Hello, some memories of teenage years – The first we knew of an impending move was the sound and smell of pine packing boxes being delivered and stacked in the hallway.

Big Boys Don’t Cry “Hush! don’t let Dad See You”
What is the earliest childhood memory you can recall? I pose this question many times – and reflected on it myself the other day. I can remember making skateboards from my sisters roller skates to swimming in the local stream during those long hot summers where innocence and time seemed to merge with laughter, funContinue reading “Big Boys Don’t Cry “Hush! don’t let Dad See You””
Asking for Help
We search the Net to seek answers/solutions to anything from the best way to serve our Latte or look for symptoms remedies or the latest how to/what to treatments available for the Scottish “Midge Bite” – before we pick up the phone and arrange an appointment with our doctor to discuss mental health issues suchContinue reading “Asking for Help”
Embracing Vulnerability
As the Olympic Games came to an end – celebrations of medals won, records broken and dreams still to be fulfilled – inspired generations to dust off running shoes, retrieve old bikes from sheds and up-cycle sports gear worn during endless Zoom sessions to engage in new and long forgotten activities. The impressive and aweContinue reading “Embracing Vulnerability”
