Homeless at Christmas

The closer we get to Christmas the more i find I'm thinking about the troops fighting or who are on peace keeping exercises. I do hold a lot of respect for these boys and girls and wish them the best Christmas can offer.  I have friends with in the military both here in the UK and in the USA, some are on operations while others are fortunate enough to be home. Yet there are thousands of troops who are spending Christmas alone in hospital or therapeutic homes due to injuries whether physical or mental the men and women who fight are hero's. What I don't condone is the act of war but that's a different story entirely. Although i wanted to serve in the military I was not allowed to due to poor chest (life long asthmatic) and poor mental health i often wonder if i had been born without the issues would  i have signed up to follow in my grandfathers footsteps.  But life took me in a very different direction, which in some ways i am glad it did, i have learnt many lessons...

UNIQUE

Remain true to who you are, and be proud yourself, of what you have achieved, stand tall for you are unique, there’s not another person creating the same colour, within the spectrum, like you casting your spell and creating, a vibrant and warm place, where we all can be who we choose to be. A place full of harmony, just like there is uniqueness, within the nature around us, a sense of achievement, and individuality is what we search for can be found, deep within ourselves, do not fear being different, for the unique personalities and perspectives, can make a change in the world we live. Everybody is unique in their perceptions of the world, not one mind is the same as the other as we are individual, the echos of the past as we can see strangers faces in the mist, but can not see them clear due to the shadows as we stare out, to the eternal pit of darkness, we all share in our time of need, For we are all unique in our complexities and be proud of that. Be proud for you are not ...

life

All to often in this life we feel judged and as if something or someone we can not often see seems to have it against us.  I sit here and think just wonder how much of this is actually true?   Well it is now 13th december 2018 and my flat is not decorated but that does not bother me if i am to be honest this is just temporary accommodation and i might have to get proper accommodation eventually. I do place bids on every week in the hope i have a home sometime next year. Right now I am actually ill and fighting an infection, so plenty of antibiotics and fruit, fruit juice apple cider vinegar and rest.  So my blogs will be a little hit and miss well wont be as many as usual i dont think due to the infection I am fighting and the medication they have me on tends to knock me sideways for a while.  I went to church last sunday and it felt good to be there, it felt like i was apart of something again people i didnot know talking to me. within one hour of bei...

POEM #1

  I decided to take  break and include one off my poems which I occasionally write but I will be writing  more substantial article either later today or tomorrow.  Peaceful silence disrupted in the streets as the fighting returns, engaging humanity to work in unity to save the community, as children and teens suffer the most within the coldness of society, claiming the youth of today for darker meaner deeds, examples of teens who have seen the errors of their ways. As adolescents cease fighting and become rays of positiveness neglecting the old ways of fighting when the streets fall quiet, demonstrate the good that they can do within society. Hope and tranquillity fill the streets when the killing stops, obstruction and destructiveness cease in activity and unite with society people uniting to be better than before and more increase productivity engaging and encouraging each other unique individuality.

fleeing from Domestic Abuse, Domestic Violence and Coercive Control

When i left i didnot have a plan or anything, I didnt knowwhat to do or how to feel i must admit i switched to automatic for a while after i left.  My best advice is if your going to leave an abusive relationship i think the most important things for you to take is on the list below. Remember 1. Any important phone numbers police, medical, your domestic violence risk officers number, social worker (if appropriate ), childrens school (if appropriate), womens aid number/ refuge number. 2. teach any children to call 999 or 911 if your in america 3.  if theres neighbours you trust tell them and get them to help plan and practice escape routes 4. Try to keep some money on you at all times 5. if you think your about to be attacked do what i did on many occassions go to somewhere you can away from the person whose threatening you. 6. be prepared to run in an emergency situation WHAT TO TAKE 1. Identification  birth certificate, your children's birth certif...

Finances and me

You know I sit here and watch programs about people on benefits and it amazes me how people are getting so much.  when in reality the vast majority of us live day by day and are scraping by on very little money. I don’t have money for luxury items or to go to the cinema, I don’t have the money to go to the pub for a quick pint or soda. I don’t often have money for fish and chips this is something I need to cook from scratch.  But there's this misunderstanding that everyone on benefits is rolling in the money which is totally wrong.   With this in mind I have suffered mental ill health for a number of years, suffer from bursitis in the hips. So yes I am on benefits but not that I want to be on benefits for the rest of my life, I study through Open learn and have products on tee-spring, all ready for promoting next year once I am able to. Its not a case of I don’t want to save because I do want to save its simply a case I cant afford to save no matter how I separate ...
