Happy New Year. 🧡🙏
We must love ourselves first and foremost. All good things start from there.

Merry Xmas everyone. Stay safe, emotionally and physically.
Loving some people from a distance is okay, even over the festive season.

Gucci was life chained and is now in the pound!!. ( he has been surrendered back to CDANZ through no fault of his own).

This is an Urgent situation and Gucci needs to be out of that pound.

We are Urgently looking for a foster home or trial to adopt home for Gucci.
Gucci loves all humans, and gets on with other dogs if introduced well - unsure re cats.

If anyone can help please PM or contact on [email protected]

I was thrilled and a bit nervous TBH to be invited for an interview on the show on Reality Check Radio. You can listen to the livestream on Friday this week where I will be sharing some tips and strategies around keeping kids safe and the importance of authentic connection. The show is on 10am-1pm and my interview will be on at 10:20am approx. You can listen to the livestream or catch the replay here: https://realitycheck.radio

Reality Check Radio

When you have a neurotypical child, you feel reasonably assured that class participation and decent study habits will result in good grades. These kids have close friends. They get invited to participate in social things like dances and weekend gatherings. They make the teams, auditions, organizations and clubs.

But when you have a child with certain differences, this is often not the case. Learning may take longer, both academically and socially. Despite their tremendous efforts, results are often a fraction of their peers and social acceptance is fleeting, setting them up for painful comparisons and bitter frustration. Instead of a fun and fulfilling experience, school can become a breeding ground for depression and anxiety, and assignments a battle ground at home. It is exhausting for parent and child alike.

This is the week of SPED (Special Education), Autism, Dyslexia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) awareness.

For all the children who struggle every day to succeed in a world that does not recognize their gifts and talents, and for those who are walking beside them, please let this be a gentle reminder to BE KIND AND ACCEPTING OF ALL PEOPLE!

Recognize that the "playing field" is not always a level surface.

Children who learn differently are not weird. They are merely gifted in ways that our society does not value enough. Yet they want what everyone else wants: To be accepted!!

If you choose, please "copy and paste" (by touching and holding the text) onto your profile in honor of all children who are deemed "different".
Our world would be far less beautiful without them.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Remember kindness goes a long way!!!

Our thought patterns can get stuck in painful loops, our emotions all over the place and our very soul injured. When we or others are in this uncomfortable state we need to take gentle loving care, holding a safe healing space for recovery. Because we can't see or understand these wounds we need to practice allowing the unknown in with grace so the healing path can reveal itself. 🙏🧡

Loving ourselves is where it starts. Nurture from within. Xo

Another truism. It is all learning and we can try to stay open to it. 🙏🧡

Be alone regularly and hear yourself. Start within, observe, nurture and decide what to hold on to and what to release. 🙏🧡

Befriend uncertainty and feel alive.🙏🧡
We tend to feel safe if we know what the next step is and how it will turn out and yet ultimately we can never predict the future. Why not approach life with curiosity and be open to infinite possibilities. We can create space for the new. It is exciting!
Stay present and allow 🙌🧘

Hmmm...Cause to Pause and choose how we want our future selves to be and feel.🙏🧡

“Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.” - Eckhart Tolle

Reminder for today. Life is always everything.🙏❤️

Love this wisdom. ❤

“Let go the people who are not prepared to love you. This is the hardest thing you will have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing. Stop having hard conversations with people who don't want change.

Stop showing up for people who have no interest in your presence. I know your instinct is to do everything to earn the appreciation of those around you, but it's a boost that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.

When you begin to fight for a life with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you in this place. This doesn't mean you need to change what you are, it means you should let go of the people who aren't ready to accompany you.

If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you don't do yourself a favor by continuing to offer your energy and your life. The truth is that you are not for everyone and not everyone is for you.

That's what makes it so special when you meet people who reciprocate love. You will know how precious you are.

The more time you spend trying to make yourself loved by someone who is unable to, the more time you waste depriving yourself of the possibility of this connection to someone else.

There are billions of people on this planet and many of them will meet with you at your level of interest and commitment.

The more you stay involved with people who use you as a pillow, a background option or a therapist for emotional healing, the longer you stay away from the community you want.

Maybe if you stop showing up, you won't be wanted. Maybe if you stop trying, the relationship will end. Maybe if you stop texting your phone will stay dark for weeks. That doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it means the only thing holding it back was the energy that only you gave to keep it. This is not love, it's attachment. It's wanting to give a chance to those who don't deserve it. You deserve so much, there are people who should not be in your life.

The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time and energy, and both are limited. When you give your time and energy, it will define your existence.

When you realize this, you begin to understand why you are so anxious when you spend time with people, in activities, places or situations that don't suit you and shouldn't be around you, your energy is stolen.

You will begin to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and for everyone around you is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else. Make your life a safe haven, in which only ′′compatible′′ people are allowed.

You are not responsible for saving anyone. You are not responsible for convincing them to improve. It's not your work to exist for people and give your life to them! If you feel bad, if you feel compelled, you will be the root of all your problems, fearing that they will not return the favours you have granted. It's your only obligation to realize that you are the love of your destiny and accept the love you deserve.

Decide that you deserve true friendship, commitment, true and complete love with healthy and prosperous people. Then wait and see how much everything begins to change. Don't waste time with people who are not worth it. Change will give you the love, the esteem, happiness and the protection you deserve."
