Anyone Else Lost?
I feel that I frequently return back to my position, on my bed, staring at the ceiling thinking: “WTF is this life?” Please don’t let me be the only one. About 85% of the time (90% on those real wonderful days) I have no freaking idea what I am doing. Or…
CB: The Need to be Needed
I have come to realise I entertain something that is low-key detrimental to myself and others. This is the “need to be needed”. What a phenomenon. Anyone else suffering with me? I have started to think about where this has stemmed from and I know it’s…
The Beauty I Behold

… And Why 😌 • Isaiah 40:31 “But those who trust in the LORD for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.” – this is my all-time favourite.…
CB: I Am Worthy
Gosh! Does anyone ever think no one will love them until they’ve fixed all their imperfections? I do. I know it’s common 🙂 In my last session, I talked about not being able to love myself completely and thus disallowing a man to love me as well. My…
CB: Our Parents are Human Too
Forgiving our parents is a real thing that comes with age. How many of us used to think our parents were perfect? Or knew everything? Or even that they got everything right all the time? It’s hard not to think your parents are everything to us, when…
