To win or not to win? That was the question!

I have just won an unfair dismissal case against a former employer. (April 2024) The case should have taken a few months. It took 2.5 years. I got fired because I made the decision in 2021 to buckle under the pressure of coercion and get the CONVID-19 vaccination. The reason behind me surrendering to inoculate myself was that my parents lived in the most “locked down” city in the world, Melbourne, Australia  and I needed the evidence of inoculation to go and visit them. If I had waited 4 more months, that rule was overturned anyway. (Insert annoyed emoji here) …

Relax, it’s not a seizure, I’m just excited!

Relax, I’m so not having a seizure, I’m just waving my arms in the air because what you said, did or felt excited me! I have found that I have had to hold space a few times in the last 12 months for people close to me when I have been in situations where I have heard something that has channelled me to make excitable gestures with my arms and face momentarily. After the excited gestures, I look at these loved ones and they look scared, the colour all drained from their spunky faces and they look like they are …

Three types of denial

Denial. Hello old friend. I thought we’d parted ways amicably a while ago and yet, here you are again, stroking my hair, telling me it will all be ok if I just trust you.   Denial. Every one of us is denying something for sure!  It’s a thing that we humans have the capability of adopting into our daily practice. It’s all around us! We witness it everywhere. Whether it’s about ourselves, our loved ones or the state of the planet as a few examples, denial is part of our human experience, as a coping mechanism, I would suspect. A conscious or unconscious act we …

Brave vs Coward

I had a friend reflect the other day about the one thing that she admires most about me. She said it was my bravery. “You’re very brave” she said “I’ve always admired that about you” “you never seem afraid to take life on”. As much as I was touched and even squirted a few tears (well as many as being on Keppra would allow due to it suppressing emotions), my first response to her was “As much as I love that you see this in me and as brave as I am, I am also the polar opposite of that. …
