Let It Go
Stars and Rainbows Just let it go. If it’s really hard, then let some time pass. Then, if what’s at stake is important to you, you’ll know what to do. Let it go. Keep the memories. Choose love.

Feathers from the sky
Stars and Rainbows Waiting, knowing. Watching you, seeing your breath rise and fall, treasuring those movements. This day last week, with stolen moments. Time slipped away, slowly, painfully; the hours fell through our fingers. Distorted moments play in my mind. That one day … Continue reading →

That ol’ balancing act…
Stars and Rainbows …of life. In the gentle hum of the middle of the night, reflection comes easily. Candles burning, fairy lights twinkling, emotions drifting. Most things in life require you to submit to a balancing act – yet there are going to … Continue reading →

As far as the eye can see…
Stars and Rainbows I had a moment. I disappeared. Last year, when I returned to blogging after a hiatus, I pondered about the future of this blog. I know deep in my heart that I do not want to shut it down, yet … Continue reading →

Refocusing and Redefining
Stars and Rainbows There is a profound difference for me between speaking my thoughts and writing them out. Throughout my life, I have always preferred the latter. It is not so much that it is easier, it just flows more naturally. Growing up … Continue reading →

Closing doors, opening windows…
Stars and Rainbows I often have to stop myself from letting my thoughts run away with me; they will sometimes dip into a territory that I do not wish to delve into frequently. We all have a part of us that is capable … Continue reading →

Once in a lifetime.
Stars and Rainbows There are certain things in life that have such a rarity that they cause your world to be turned upside down. Moments. Words. People. …connections. To be able to share these feelings with another? Life-changing. Scary. Euphoric. Momentous. Questions often … Continue reading →

Love, Joy and Peace
Stars and Rainbows “Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, … Continue reading →

Sensitivity
Stars and Rainbows There have been many experiences this year that have unearthed a lot of difficult memories from the past. This has been immensely intense, as much of it has been concentrated over the last few months. During the first part of … Continue reading →

Ramblings from the heart…
Stars and Rainbows Community: a very confident, strong word. Yet it can encompass a range of different emotions, feelings and stories, all depending on the individuals who all deliver the true meaning of the word. It has changed incredibly for me over the … Continue reading →

Songbird
Stars and Rainbows There is something incredibly comforting about being around people who help you to see the light in the times of darkness. That is a fundamental truth. It is something I am grateful for, eternally. Even though I was draped in … Continue reading →

Life Lessons at 25
Stars and Rainbows Something has dawned on me recently; it is something that I have known for a long time, but even more so over the last few weeks. People often severely underestimate me. Whether this is to do with my age, being … Continue reading →

The Art of Letting Go
Stars and Rainbows There is a strange sort of fear within me at the moment, that I am sure other bloggers/writers experience from time to time. The fear of not really knowing how much to share, and how much to hold back. However, … Continue reading →

Pronoia VS Paranoia
Stars and Rainbows Which words should tumble out, And which should stay inside? Which will eat my soul up, And which will caress? The world Is a double edged sword. One moment it loves you; Then it deals you a punch. Tears stay … Continue reading →

The Smile
Stars and Rainbows There is a smile of love, And there is a smile of deceit, And there is a smile of smiles In which these two smiles meet. And there is a frown of hate, And there is a frown of disdain, … Continue reading →

Life, lately…and the MBTI.

Anchors
Stars and Rainbows Last September, I started to put together a blog post with links to other blog posts. Other blog posts that touched on the subject of depression, or feeling inadequate, or just generally about having a bad day… I never posted … Continue reading →

Up in the Trees
Stars and Rainbows A little over a week ago, I did something that was incredibly hard. I participated in Go Ape for the boy’s birthday. Had been looking forward to it but also knew it was going to be hard for me. (Discovered … Continue reading →

Pause…
Stars and Rainbows Thoughts are a little all over the place right now, so I will attempt to sort through them and put them into order…but knowing me, that’ll take ages. Instead, I’ll just go with the flow. I need to write. It’s … Continue reading →

Summer has come and passed…
Stars and Rainbows …the innocent can never last. (Kudos to you if you know the song, it’s a favourite). Its been a good summer. Lots of soul searching. Lots of connecting. Lots of thinking. Lots of emotion. Its been a summer of change and transformation. I will always remember this summer. WordPress informed me that it’s my 6 […]

Healing > Damage
Stars and Rainbows Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives. Currently in a healing period at the moment. Overcoming the months that were hard. I am happy, oh, yes, I am happy. But I am healing at the same time. Over the last week, I have had a few […]

Acceptance
Stars and Rainbows Being deaf, there are many groups, societies, social groups and so on, that I could be a part of. Yet, I’m not. That’s not to say I haven’t tried different things in the past, nor to say that all these various groups are bad – just, it was never a good fit. For as long […]

Digging Deep.
Stars and Rainbows For the last 10 minutes or so, I have had my foot resting on a speaker, and have been playing songs that I once used to have on repeat, all day long. Trying to rediscover music. Trying to be brave. The whole music thing has been hurting me, on and off, for the last few […]

Thoughts on a Monday.
Stars and Rainbows This weekend was spent in Cambridgeshire, and there was plenty of time for reflection. Friday was a hard day, but all is smoothing out now. Love overspilled this weekend, and really, love is all that matters. The next few weeks may involve shuttling between London and Cambridge, but the person at the middle of it […]

10 Things I Love (via Pinterest)
Stars and Rainbows It’s been a while, but these lists always bring me back. Back to the little things. Back to the happy things. Back to gratitude. Pinterest, for me, allows me to cultivate things that truly make me happy. I follow other pinners who may post beautiful quotes, pretty/wacky/calming/eccentric interiors, cute cats and/or dogs (and kittens/puppies – […]

Capable.
Stars and Rainbows “There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” ~ Nelson Mandela This is for all those I love; and for all of you, because I am sending love out, from the bottom of my heart. I am […]

Time and Space
Stars and Rainbows   I am in a strange place right now. A place where I feel the best thing for me is time alone. Time to sort through all my thoughts. Time to figure things out. Time without pressure. Time for space, space in which I am not made to feel guilty. More than ever, I just […]

Rainbow Love
Stars and Rainbows Something about rainbows always lift my spirits. The sight of one in the sky will almost instantly put a smile on my face. Then there’s all the rainbow inspired art out there. There’s décor inspired by rainbows. Clothes inspired by rainbows – I even have a dress that I call my ‘rainbow dress’, that I’ve […]

For the Future
Stars and Rainbows …whatever it may hold.  For my future child/ren, I promise to support you in the best way I know how. I will try my hardest not to put pressure onto you. I will love every single inch of you (although I can’t promise I’ll be a fan of what comes out of the other end […]

Lately; and things I’m loving.
Stars and Rainbows On Sunday, I was in the midst of writing a blog post, but got distracted. And it never got posted. It just slipped away from me, and it’s just as well, as it was rather scattered. That’s kind of what life is like at the moment, things are scattered, and my thoughts are scattered as […]

The Project of You
Stars and Rainbows It’s the biggest, baddest, most amazing project you’ll ever take on. Because constantly working on ourselves, throughout our lives, will always pay off. Self-love. Self-acceptance. Self-improvement. There is that internal tug-of-war, because focusing on ourselves must be a pretty selfish thing to do, right? To this, I answer no. You, in all of your entirety, […]

Stars and Rainbows You’ve rolled around again, eh? Today was spent productively, and a certain project book is beginning to slowly fill.

Stars and Rainbows Bye October; you certainly threw some challenges into the mix, and this new month has got me feeling energised.

Happy Halloween
Stars and Rainbows For first attempts at elaborate pumpkin carving (well, just not my usual pumpkin face), they turned out pretty well. The boy’s is the ghost, and the spider is mine. It was also the first time the boy had ever carved a pumpkin! I’m impressed. Happy Halloween to you all – don’t get too spooked! P.S. […]

One of these days…
Stars and Rainbows “I think that one of these days,” he said, “you’re going to have to find out where you want to go. And then you’ve got to start going there. But immediately. You can’t afford to lose a minute. Not you.” ~ J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye I keep coming back. And back. And back. […]
