Over the last few weeks I have been struggling to stay positive, light and carefree…..
Why?
Because victims have courageously been coming forward for years, trying to tell the world what happened….. and only now are we seeing the details, and only now are the victims being believed.
I’m struggling because …… every time I close my eyes I imagine the horror that those poor children (some 12…. Some YOUNGER) had to endure. Abused by adults
I think about these children…. their pain, their confusion and their fears.
I think about what they were forced to do
And it makes me sick to the core
And I am angry that not only was this allowed to happen for so long…. But that this behaviour is excused and the abusers are not in jail for their crimes. Some are still holding positions of power….
It is vile and disgusting
Everyone…. This is 12
Just incase anyone is confused about what 12 looks like. Incase you do not have children and have forgotten yourself at 12…….
This is 12. Innocent, oblivious, childlike and immature
This is what 12 year old children are ❤️
This week as our studio reopened….. I realised that
….. I am so lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world,
….. I am so lucky that through my work and friendships …. I am surrounded by kind hearted, morally sound people…….
….. and in feeling calm….. I realised just how sad and angry I had been. So to our community…. Thank you for being here…. In me trying to help you, it has helped me.

Maybe you may find a photo of yourself at 12……
Because in the poignant words of Michelle Clark -
“grief is proof of love
anger is proof of care
fatigue is proof of effort
… and if you are struggling at the moment, you are not broken.. your eyes are open and you are alive”
