I have to admit that it saddens and surprises me so often when people are nasty, or depicted as such, especially when it’s for no good reason. Strangely, I can find no obvious benefit for such actions either, other than to avoid something you fear. <0> Oh, I know the basic premise ( as ScroogeContinue reading “The Strategy of Kindness”

Girls Look Outward, Boys Look Inward — 🌙 Jennifer Poyntz ☀️
We were girls with loud voices, notoriously resented by the staff of our school for being outspoken and difficult to tame, as a year group.

Others are so hard to see unless you care enough to look but sing like a bright wonderful choir of people’s hearts and lives.Continue reading “A Sparkle of Cultures”

I read a post recently ( https://snippetsofsnapdragon.com/2020/09/12/not-just-another-morning/ ) which got me thinking. It was about how we get onto ourselves at times for not being good enough, and about realising that we are, actually, more than good enough. As I say, it got me thinking. Thinking about how we often fail to see our ownContinue reading “When Small things are a Giants Touch”
The Path to Loving Yourself
Today I looked at myself and realised I wasn’t the same person I used to be. Well. Actually I’m still the same me that I used to be, but I’m also someone new. Someone I’ve only recently met and am looking forward to getting to know. I got to see me without all the doubtContinue reading “The Path to Loving Yourself”
