Ramblings of a MadWoman

Happiness

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 23:57:50 +0000

I’ve sown the seeds of happiness within
No longer dependant on outside forms
For it is me who chooses to be happy or sad
Only in our powerless state
Do we pass this responsibility to others

Unconditional Love

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:33:25 +0000

Unconditional love involves loving someone without having to agree with them at all!

Rebound

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:29:08 +0000

I want to bow my head
Hang it in shame
Of my thoughts
Broken & defeated
This is NOT who I am!

Each time
I knock myself down
Like that bouncing clown
I spring back
Stronger than before
More determined
More focused
I rise for me
And all that I can be!

Self Doubt

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:19:27 +0000

Self doubt continues to creep in
Releasing the icy tentacles of trepidation
Momentarily …
They grip my heart
Aware …
I breathe & count
Knowing the moment will pass
And I can choose
Yes choose
To feel
Another feeling
Choose to think
A different thought!

It takes persistence
And practice
But I choose to retrain my brain
To modify associations
Default patterns
That plunge me into darkness
Every time
My mind trips the switch
I flick it back
Like ABC …
Aware
Breath
Choose
I don’t care
How many times a day
I will continue to do so
Until such time
That it is permanently hardwired

New Beginnings

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:48:16 +0000

I open a door
Stepping boldly thru
I have no idea
Where it leads
All I desire
Is a new beginning
But then …
Every day
Is a new beginning
If you let it be!

We Create

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 23:06:28 +0000

We either create possibilities or impossibilties …which are you creating right now?

To Be

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:34:58 +0000

To be … or not to be me … that’s my reality!

Dandelion

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:24:55 +0000

Dandelion flower
Branded as a weed
You tilt your head
Proudly to the sun
You are alive
And vibrant
Defying your labels
You thrive
With life’s flow
A role model
For us all!

Beautiful Me

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:21:07 +0000

Comfort & warmth
Safe & secure
To feel …
Cared for
And loved
By me
Beautiful me
The woman I am
Here & now

New Life

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:14:17 +0000

She buries herself
Not wanting to be found
Lost forever
Where did she go?
So unexpected
Nobody knows
What took her away?
Why did she stray?
So far away
From all that she knew
Wandering
Pondering
Will we ever know?
Which way
She did go?
Hide as she might
Not without fight
She finally took flight
To find her true self
She needed space
A secure special place
So she could face
The deep disturbia
That lay within
For it had purpose
Of that she was sure
Her dark emotions
Were calling her
Wooing her
Compelled to listen
To her shadow life
It was all that resonated
It was there to speak
It was there to teach
To awaken her soul
Like the phoenix rising
There was purpose
To her suffering
She learnt to stand tall & strong
In her own vulnerability
Exposed for all to see
Untouched by judgement
Her own or others
She no longer feared the worst
She was finally free
Unbound
By the limitations of her mind
She steps back into the light
Reclaiming her power
Ready to take flight
