I want to take this time to thank my current clients who I’ve had to cancel short notice recently.
Your patience, understanding and words of kindness and support have been incredible.

If you’ve worked with me for a while you might know that my journalling and reflection happens in the form of poem writing. It gives me a structure to sit with the difficult emotions and not let my “fear brain” shut them away.

I’m sharing my poem that helped me to process the last 72hrs of my life because it’s a reminder just how quickly anything can change without warning.

Poem by Arna Kerklaan:
Title: Complete Flip - 180• Turn.

A complete flip, a one hundred and eighty degree turn,
Our Best laid plans can change in an instant but there's always a lesson to learn.

You can always try to be prepared but we can't ever know what can happen next.
And what I have recently learnt from a split second moment is that you can only do your best.

In a moment of Chaos that makes your world feel like it will never be the same.
It's only When you realise you're safe, your loved ones are safe, that tears of relief come without shame.

Those tears release the tension and the hyper vigilance that had kick in
But when you look past the catastrophe in front of you, that's when you see within.

You drop from your head into your heart and see that support and team work and care
And those moments of stress and overwhelm are always easier if we can learn to share

So please learn to Share the load, the worry, burden or fear you hold inside
And you'll soon notice the strength in numbers, and the strength within yourself and suddenly that drowning feeling subsides.

You feel the grounding, the strength, the connection, the importance and all the love
And when you know all is safe and everything's ok, you find you send thankful blessings to above.

A complete flip in life in any circumstance,
Is an opportunity to realise, that you are truely lucky if you get a second chance.

On Sunday morning, my dad flipped his van and seeing the condition it was in, he really should have been dead.
But I cry tears of thankful joy he somehow managed to walk away from hanging upside down in his seatbelt, with only a broken wrist and some cuts on his head.

Knowing he's alive and now home, and resting safe in his chair,
I feel like I can breathe easy and treasure more then I've ever the next moments that's we'll share.

We often get caught up in the business of life,
But I'll always be so thankful for how my family always pull together and lean on each other in those unexpected moments of strife.

I hope you have an insouciant weekend!

You can do anything but not everything.
