I know that it probably sounds "New Age" or "Hippy" but I have been feeling blocked or stuck.
Since having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME/Fibromyalgia or what ever this thing is, I have had a disconnect in my body.
Today for the first time, I have felt a clearing of the blockage. I am just hoping that I can maintain this for a little while.
Despite doing yoga and using a pilates roller I have remained stuck.
Today my acupuncturist/massage therapist unlocked the parts that were really stuck.
I, for the first time in a long time gave permission to myself to be human.
Writing this blog and allowing the world to peer into my internals has helped free me as well.
We are all so caught up in appearances and not showing our real selves that we mask everything.
In thinking about this further I have come to the conclusion it is because we fear ridicule, appear to be weak and try to show courage in the face of adversity.
Well, this is true in my case.
So, I feel like I have had a huge break through. Facing fears, facing reality, ridding myself of unwanted and unrealistic expectations is part of the journey.
This is my race to run, no one can tell me how to run it............... I maybe the last to cross the line but I will have done it my way and I will be content in the way in which it has been won.

When is a "LOL" not an "LOL"???????
Something that has been bugging me for a while.........................
I am on Facebook, as most people in the cyber connected world are. (Maybe that is a huge generalisation but I will make it anyway.)
It seems that some people in their posts make outlandish statements and sometimes quite pointed, hurtful and rude comments.
I have over time, read comments that have made me repel back from the keyboard and internal thought........ wow....... did that person really mean to say that?????
It seems that as long as you put a LOL at the end of it....... everything is ok.
What gives the right for a person to take a swipe at someone and "LOL" it to then make an attempt to take the sting out of it ?
In "LOLing" it seems that this gives a window of opportunity. An opportunity to be able to blame the person it was targeted at if they take offence or get upset by the comment.
"I was only joking" "Didn't you see my LOL (insert smiley face here)
I say why don't you just man/woman up and own it.
Say what you think, but remember, your words have the potential to hurt and harm others.
Some people are not as robust as you maybe.
For my money, I will always say that most people do not go out of their way to hurt people or make them feel bad. (although there are exceptions to the rules as we all know)
I also think that most people write "their truth" when making comments of web pages, Social Media and the like.
It maybe wrapped up in a different package........ throw away comment, funny remark, direct statement...............
If you have the guts to write it, then have the guts to own it.
