Thank you, Kimberley. It’s taken quite some time to get to this point, as I think you are aware. It terrifies me, just a little. But I receive a fair amount of positive feedback in my inbox, so I guess those who relate or, dare I say, “need it” find it - and that makes it a little bit easier.
Absolutely. I hear you. Suffering and struggle brings growth and transformation; something I realised when I was quite young. I used to have a sense of gratitude for my struggles during childhood, I've always though that the struggle was what kept me grounded and "real", in the context of remembering where I "came from". Lately though, my objective is to turn it around, make it into something positive, perhaps I could even make it work for me; but monetising it feels like benefiting from someone else's struggle & I'm sitting with that for now. Perhaps the journey and growth is the point and maybe that's enough?
In awe of your life. How strong you are to have survived all you have and still be confronting head on
Such a beautiful sentiment to see your son as your greatest teacher.
It's lovely to read your words and authentic sharing here. Keep going, go further.

And we can all learn to heal and grow it’s never too late!
Indeed. A shortcut would be nice though ;)
Agreed! But there is also wisdom in the concept of learning the most, through the most demanding and challenging times.

Welcome to my mind! 🫣 Always going in circles
