Turtles...

Hello there faithful followers.

Got to be a quick one today; early Fridays and all that malarkey.

Yesterdays post was rather lengthy and I apologise; I hope I didn't send too many of you into a stupor.  So just a small picture for today:




Sometimes a cute little turtle can teach us humans a thing or two!

Back tomorrow!

My speech for JAMI

For as long as I can remember I have been different to those around me.  My interests weren’t the same as others, my ability to express myself was limited and instead of being able to verbalise my struggles, I only managed to keep them inside of me.  From a young age these internalised struggles rapidly turned into anxiety, depression and anorexia. I didn’t have a clue about mental illness when I was a teenager.  This wasn’t something taught about in school, not something spoken about at home and certainly something seen as ‘taboo’ within the Orthodox Jewish Community. I am the third of a family of 6 children and both my older siblings were straight A students with an innate ability to manage a good social life. At 14, both my older siblings left home and concurrently my grandmother was diagnosed with terminal Cancer. In tandem with this, I became more introverted and found I wasn’t able to understand the interests and activities my classmates and peers found to be so...

February 2017

As promised, I am back here again. Life seems to have taken over and I have got back into the swing of things. I have had a job interview and I'm now the proud Mum of 6 guinea pigs and a hamster. I am also apparently mothering an expectant guinea pig so I am going to be a PigGrandma soon. I'm too young to be a Grandma! These are my beauties (I am *slightly* obsessed): In reality, it is hard not to keep going over the past and what has happened; intrusive thoughts seem to have a way about them making it hard to block them out at times. But instead of using these negative flashbacks to punish myself and remind myself of bad times, I need to learn to embrace my difficulties and use them to show me how much better things are now. I realised in the past year that I no longer believe in 'recovery'. Don't get me wrong - many people who have had mental illness can 100% recover from this.  There are however many who will not fully recover.  Mental illness will ...

Poppa Leslie O'H

On Friday 28th November 2014 (6 Kislev 5775), my dear Grandfather, Poppa Leslie, passed away. It is now just over three weeks since his passing and I have come to a place in my head where I feel I can write something small about the most amazing person I have ever known. Poppa Leslie was someone whom no-one can think of without smiling.  Think of a person who has a joke to say for any situation, someone who can make you smile whatever your mood; someone who never complains though is obviously in tremendous pain. This, and so much more, was my grandfather. I don't think anything I can say can give the 87 years of Poppa's life justice,  There are so many tales, so many stories that I do not know and so many parts of his life I don't have full knowledge of.  But from the parts that I do know I can say that he was a true tzadik; a righteous man.  I cannot think of one bad memory, one thing to say that would cast any negativity on him. It is hard for me t...
