February 13, 2022: I took this #photo and made this #collage at just after midnight. The text is from a @mikedooleytut e-mail that was the first e-mail I received today. “By simply choosing to be #joyful… it’s physically impossible to get #angry, #fret, #stew, or #worry.” It’s a message I know, and have heard before. But it’s a #message I forget more often than not to practice in my own life. It fits so perfectly with what @gary_zukav says about being emotionally aware through #mindfulness, about being able to see how we feel and to make responsible #choices about how we act on those #feelings.
I felt so tired last night, but I was also so restless. It’s like I was so out of it yesterday that my monkey mind was keeping me awake with my worries and with my thoughts of how horrible I am as a human being.
I finally started to take down the Christmas tree yesterday. While I did this, I started listening to @brenebrown’s @soundstrue audiobook MEN, WOMEN & WORTHINESS: THE EXPERIENCE OF SHAME AND THE POWER OF BEING ENOUGH. In it, Dr. Brown provides a strong definition of #SHAME and #GUILT, as follows:
“SHAME: is a sense that we are bad. That there’s something about us, that we’ve done or failed to do, that makes us #unworthy of #love, of #acceptance, of belonging... ‘I am bad.’ … Shame is a focus on self… ‘I’m such an idiot, I’m such a #loser…I’m stupid, I’m a loser. I’m an idiot.’ … Shame is ‘I am a mistake’… There’s something profoundly, deeply wrong with who I am… Shame is highly correlated with (the dangerous outcomes of) addiction, #depression, eating disorders, suicide, violence… Shame is being held up against the ideal, that somehow we can live lives and edit them as we are living them, so that what the world only sees is what’s perfect about us.”
“GUILT: is not a focus on who we are, but on something we have done... I did something bad… Guilt is a focus on behaviour…. ‘I can’t believe I did that. That was a really stupid thing to do… I did something that doesn’t fit with who I want to be.’ …“
I think it would be a good exercise to break down some of my more negative subverted #selfie posts, like the one I posted yesterday, where I dump on myself.

Since 2012 I have taken it upon myself to embark upon the some might say foolhardy endeavour to wrestle Valentine’s Day away from its saccharine, cellophane wrapped cliches into a festival of love which is about all kinds of love, just like those wise old ancient Greeks told us
I decided to do that the first year by dashing around London with my mates Asif and Chris dispensing home-made Valentine Day cards, cakes and other love themed items to unsuspecting strangers. It was amazing. You can see a little film of that day here: vimeo.com/58022085
Since then, every year, I put a shout out on social media to anyone who knows anyone who would appreciate a card to remind them that they are loved. So far, I have made and posted 600 Valentine’s cards. I have also covered railings, phone boxes, windows and park benches with paper hearts, chalked love poems onto roads and written love poems with seniors in sheltered housing.
if you see this, and you fancy it, join in!
Write to someone you love who you might not tell enough, someone who needs to be reminded that they are loved, especially if they are lonely or having a difficult time at the moment. Could be your partner, your sibling, your best friend, your nan, your newsagent, your teacher . Think about who might need this the most right now. You can write a letter, postcard, hand make a card, send a postcard, the “rules” are:
The “Rules”
Post it with an actual stamp if this is possible for you- why? Just because it is so much nicer getting stuff that isn’t bills through the post.
Take your time with what you want to say and make it personal, think about how they will feel when they receive it (obvious I know but we all do things too quickly sometimes)
Ask them to pass the love on by writing in turn to someone they love and telling them so, and so beginning a love chain, which may, if we are lucky, never end, reminding us all of who we love and how much we are loved
(if you need it, here are some suggested words: “hope you like your message- I am trying to do my bit to pass love around the world- if you can please write to someone you love too, and we can keep this love chain travelling round the world and make sure everyone knows how much they are loved”
Summing up (because I know I go on a bit!)
1.Write to someone and tell them you love them. Post or hand deliver your message.
2.Ask them to do the same
3.Remind yourself of the things you love about yourself too*
* Let’s not forget this one : philautia (self love): as well as writing to someone to tell them you love them, take a moment this V Day to think about what you love about yourself. This can feel squirmy sometimes, try just thinking of 3 things to start with (3 is a magic number) that you love about yourself. If you find it hard to think of things, that’s ok, ask a good friend to help you think of things. Loving ourselves is important too.
“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” Ben Okri
“And may your first love last forever.
P.S. You are your first love. Take care of yourself.”

Θα έρθει η στιγμή που θα πεσεις, τοσο, που δεν θα υπάρχει πατος. Θα αναρωτιέσαι γιατί σε μένα. Κι όταν έρθει η συνειδητοποίηση, η αλήθεια σαν φως μπροστά στα μάτια σου, θα τρομάξεις. Θα νιώσεις τον κόσμο να χάνεται κάτω από τα ποδια σου. Και τότε θα αρχίσεις να κλαις. Θα έρθεις σε απόγνωση. Δεν θα ξέρεις από που να πιαστεις για να βάλεις σε μια σειρά τις σκέψεις σου. Μετά θα θυμώσεις με τους αλλους, με τη ζωή, με τον ίδιο σου τον εαυτό. Θα ψάξεις να πιαστεις από κάποιον ή από κάτι. Θα νιώσεις ενοχές για τα λάθη που έκανες απέναντι στους άλλους και απέναντι στον εαυτό σου. Θα πεθαινεις αργά και βασανιστικά. Όταν όλα αυτά σου συμβουν, σταματα για λίγο και δες μέσα σου αληθινά. Θυμωσε, θυμωσε πολυ, με όλους και με όλα. Ασε το θυμό να ξεχειλίσει σαν λάβα από ηφαίστειο μέχρι να σβήσει. Μην προσπαθεις να διώξεις τον φόβο, αγκάλιασε τον, σου υπενθυμίζει ότι είσαι άνθρωπος. Ένα πραγμα μόνο μην κάνεις. Μη βυθιστείς ΠΟΤΕ στις ενοχές σου. Μην αφήσεις κανέναν να σε κάνει να νιώσεις ένοχος, ουτε καν τον εαυτό σου. Μόνο αυτόν έχεις. Αγαπά τον. Αγκάλιασε τον όπως μια μητέρα το παιδι της. Δωσ'του ο, τι λαχτάρα σαν να είναι η μόνη σου έννοια. Συγχώρεσε τον για τα παραστρατηματα του. Κανε τον να νιώσει μοναδικός. Γιατί αυτό είσαι. ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΟΣ. Κι όταν το δεις αυτό με την ψυχή σου, κανεις δεν μπορεί να σε νικήσει. Ουτε ο ίδιος ο θάνατος. Είσαι ελευθερος. Και παντα να θυμασαι οτι εκεί έξω υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που σ'αγαπούν όπως ακριβώς είσαι. Ένα πανεμορφο, μοναδικό χάος. Εχω την τυχη να έχω τέτοιους ανθρωπους στη ζωή μου και οι περισσοτεροι είναι "ξενοι".Και όλα αυτά που γράφω δεν είναι θεωρίες παρμενες απο καποιο βιβλίο είναι η αλήθεια της ζωής μου και θέλω να την μοιραστω.

For FGR and I'm a poser
Today's FGR theme is a bit vague, not sure how to take it. So I thought i'd try to give it multiple explanations:
- Self love: I never really liked my tummy, thought it was to chubby. It still kinda is but even now with the marks of my pregnancy, I learned to love it, cause it's part of me.
- It's a naked tummy...there ya go with the nakedness ;)
*also for GTWL: Rule of thirds.
The Girls Auto Clinic is no standard auto repair operation. Just off West Chester Pike in the Philadelphia suburb of Upper Darby, this garage is run by a woman, staffs virtually all women and tailors everything it does around the needs of women.
