It’s is seen that as woman and men pass through the morning of life and enter the afternoon evening .. internal dial shifts and personal growth is seen high of woman’s agenda .. something to ponder.

How wonderful to receive such a gift of gratitude.. and really touched so much more than money could ever give to be honoured with the privilege of being a supporter to such genuinely beautiful people.

So as my own Boss I acknowledge to all my amazing an wonderful patients and followers, that sadly as the boss Iv had to retire myself. Time for self care and family.

Love the humour of the first post, however, phoning in sick to often as I actually am sick ( not looking sick but live with incurable cancer and cope with a new way with all medications and treatments) and unable to perform my role to the standards I as my boss would like in being a responsible reliable therapist, being a good empathetic boss I care for the wellbeing of my employees… ie myself soooo as in schematic therapy the Healthy adult says it’s important to look after yourself, I give myself my the compassion and understanding I need and full blessing to do the hard thing in acknowledging publicly I am no longer practicing as a therapist. I’ll continue to post as I do. And enjoy sharing and caring but as those who know living with incurable cancer it’s time for self care.

If you've been with your partner a long time, it may be that at some point you find you're getting tired of each other. Don't panic. It's totally natural for there to be ebbs and flows in a relationship. And, while sometimes people do just fall out…

If there’s one thing we all need to stop doing, it’s waiting around for someone else to show up and change our lives. Just be the person you’ve been waiting for. Live your life as if you are the love of it. Because that’s the only thing you know for sure – that through every triumph, every failure, every fear and every gain that you will ever experience until the day you die, you are going to be present. You are going to be the person who shows up to accept your rewards. You are going to be the person who holds your own hand when you’re broken.
You are going to be the person who gets yourself up off the floor every time you get knocked down and if those things are not love-of-your-life qualities, I don’t know what are. ~Heidi Priebe

A FEW TRUTHS ABOUT TOUGH TIMES

1. If you accept tough times are part of the seasons of life, it will keep you from sinking into depression

2. Maintain a healthy perspective. Going through tough times doesn't mean you are not blessed, you are actually being prepared for something great. Preparation is often not easy but it is the foundation of better things to come

3. Tough times will reveal to you your true friends and expose the fake ones

4. Tough times will introduce to you real friends who are attracted to your purpose

5. The best ideas tend to be conceptualized in tough times

6. Sometimes we go through tough times which can wake us up and help us focus your attention, especially when you have become too familiar/ disconnected or complacent.

7. Sometimes you have to reach a dead end where no one can help you, so that you are forced to realise you are your strongest advocate

8. Great people have learnt the art of converting tough times into a path to being a master of something

9. There are some lessons that tough times will teach you that good times can't

10. Tough times will open your eyes to see opportunities and doors that complacent you did not

11. Some of us lack the courage to move past our current level and lack the initiative to take the next step on our own, tough times will catapult you to the next stage of your life that you are afraid to take

12. Tough times will make you naked so that you see yourself for who you truly are. Tough times will force you to be real with yourself, what are you really made of? Because when you are going through tough times, there is no one to impress, you have to be you

13. We are given the opportunity after tough times to enter our best season after being or reaching rock bottom. That is when true love is tested and we emerge stronger

14. Instead of complaining about tough times, ask yourself "What am I being taught and how can I ride this wave to be better?"

15. Read biographies of the great. No story of greatness has ever been written without a season of tough times

16. We don’t have to ride the tough season alone we learn about the gift of being vulnerable and how this can bring people closer to us

17. Tough times might take you a step back so that you restrategize or change route but you will soon charge forward with more power than ever before

18. There is a better, wiser you waiting after you have conquered the tough times

19. Once you conquer tough times, mentor others with the lessons learnt. please spread the knowledge and care and this will allow you to grow in more joy in the gift in giving.

All feelings are a blessing, when we feel exhausted or in mind fog, it has its place. Sometimes we need to go slower in times and be gentle on ourselves not fast and at full speed. Take heed and try and tune in to your emotions and what you and your body need. Life can throw many hard things at all, and sometimes that then requires time to digest and reevaluate and reroute.

WE ARE HERE

We are here essentially, to risk ourselves in the world. We are a form of invitation to others and to otherness, we are meant to hazard ourselves for the right thing, for the right woman or the right man, for a son or a daughter, for the right work or for a gift given against all the odds. And in all this continual risking the most profound courage may be found in the greatest risk and the greatest vulnerability, and perhaps, the greatest prize of all, the simple willingness to allow ourselves to be happy along the way …

It is both fascinating and rewarding to approach happiness as a core practice and a choice: to rest deeply and calmly, even amidst the necessary losses of an individual human life, and find already lying within us, not a naive, forced generation of false positivity, but an attentive sense of continued extraordinary surprise at the preposterous, gifted, overwhelming and astonishing nature of every day existence.
