Three Sisters

Last post was Mom's turn this one is for my sisters.

So to start off I have 3 sisters, well technically 4 and 2 of them are called Tracey. Confused? Yep so was I, but I only know 3 so this is for them.

I realised from the last post that whilst I pinpoint one or two things that I have learned from people, it's never an exhaustive list. And the list here is not exhaustive either. 

I am the youngest! The only boy! I have been teased, scared half to death and left in a laundry basket so that they can go out with their friends, but I have also had hugs, and kisses and felt pride from them 🤮

The eldest is Debra Churchill 

My "little" big sister. 

What I have learned the most from Debbie is that it is much cooler to be yourself than to try to be someone who you are not and it's perfectly okay to love you are! She's also taught me how to embarrass others - in a fun way - which of course I have used on my kids. Debbie if you're not sure what I'm talking about, think birthdays and lipstick!

Next is Tracey Siever 

The fiery one!

I think I can attribute a LOT of my rebelliousness to Tracey. She will not be held back, and neither will I! She taught me how to stand up for myself and how to defend others. That sometimes staying quiet is not an option! Being controversial sometimes is the only way to open much needed channels of communication!  Many of you will know that I use this last thing a LOT! 

And last but not least is Samantha Adams 

The mystical one. 

We are closer in age but she will always be older than me (sorry Samantha but that's just a fact!).

Samanth ( 😉 ) taught me how to look inward. That there is more inside AND outside than we truly see! I also learned that you cannot begin to teach something to something without first experiencing it. Lessons would just be empty words! I'm able to to be introspective because she was.

Whilst we all had our fair share of bickering, all of them taught me that staying calm in an argument pisses people off more than you actually winning it 🤣

Again, I don't say it out loud but I love you all x

Now there is no worrying circumstance as to why I have written this and I haven't lost my mind (much), I just want to start something new. Are you with me?  

Please feel free to tag me in your appreciation posts you make for others if you'd like to, or not, it's cool and if this kind of thing annoys you, or makes you feel sick, please feel free to block or unfriend me, there'll be no hard feeling towards you 🙂 

I hope you all have a great day and I'll be back with more names soon x

Better The Devil

Well it's a new day and a new appreciation post.  I can't tell you how much the one about David - the one I was reluctant to share - has affected so many people from my Facebook friends list they reached out to me about the post.  It reached people in ways I never expected, and in ways some of the people reaching out never expected.  So once again David's actions had a profoundly positive effect. Thanks again David and thanks to all those who reached out to me about it.  As promised though, here is something a little lighter than my previous two posts.  This coming Saturday is Eurovision. 28 years ago it was held on the 19th of May, the day after my birthday, and it gave me one of the best presents I have ever had.  Sonia Evans was our representative for the UK. For those of you that don't know, Sonia was signed to PWL records and was produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman.  Just like Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley. And if you don't know who they are th...

Descartes got it wrong!

It is said that what you give out, you get back in the same form. Many of you will know this by its name. Karma.  Everything I say here is not new to me, but something I am remembering everyday. I am back on a journey that I began nearly 30 years ago. In fact, come to think of it, I don't think I ever left this journey, I just stopped a little longer at places en route. I've been working on re-knowing who I am, not the external me but the internal me. Not the ego but the essence of who I truly am.  Don't panic! I'm not about to sell you a religion! I'm merely telling you of my experience at this present time. What you do with the information is up to you, and quite frankly, none of my business.  I have been re-learning. Working on myself to be a person who does good things. A better person. The best person I can possibly be and a better person than who I was yesterday. To feel the fear and do it anyway. To lean in to my vulnerability, and to leave the wo...

Timing Is Everything

I am back with another appreciation post. And the next few posts will be about tiny moments in school, that had dramatic impact on my way of thinking, and on shaping me and my future! Please, please note, there is nothing wrong. I am completely okay and very happy. I appreciate your concern. I'm not thinking bad thoughts, only good ones! 🙂 But yeah, I'm probably going to get annoying with all of this positivity - you have been warned haha.  So this one is about another teacher. Miss Amos. Music teacher at Mandeville County Upper School (as it was called then). Incidentally I can see what was my music room, from my window as I write this! I may not have moved very far, but I have come a long way! In the final year of Mr Wise's class, the 4th year "moved up" for a day and experienced secondary school (high school). In our music "lesson" Miss Amos had set up a piano keyboard and let us all have a go at playing something. I never had a keyboard or any music...
