The Dark Mistress took a short holiday from Blogging and spent her time … well … reading other Blogs. Once you get over all the crap gobbledygook product blogs served on pages one and two of Google’s Blog Search there are some great souls out there in the Blogosphere. Life Blogs are like movies without […]

Do you find life just happens to you or are you someone who finds the connections behind the scenes? Did you know that everything in life happens for a reason and that there are no coincidences? That’s right you heard me correctly there are no coincidences … ever.

Why is support so crucial? In today’s world we live very disconnected, individual lives. We don’t have much to do with our neighbours or communities as in past times and life can be very isolating. Women often find this when they have children when their families are not living near by and all of a sudden they are on their own. We are like a bunch of people all sharing the same area but with no direct contacts with each other. Making things more difficult is the way we tend to hide things from other people. We want to keep our mask on at all costs letting everyone know that we are just fine.

If someone asked you how your life could be described what would you say? Would you use words such as peaceful, contented, satisfying, relaxing, passionate? Or would you use words such as busy, stressed, chaos, anxiety, non stop, exhausted?

Most people suffer from depression at some points in their lives. Depression isn’t always the stereotype we hear about, not getting out of your pjs and staying in bed sleeping all day. Mild depression or getting the blues is something suffered by many people who just momentarily find life overwhelming and out of control with them feeling powerless to do anything about it.

I remember a person explaining to me that its was all so overwhelming as no matter what channel they turned to there was always something about the floods…they just couldn’t escape it.

One of the things I get asked a lot is how I manage to keep all of my balls in the air without losing my composure and also managing to be happy and content most of the time.
