Thankyou Martha.

3 years no contact and I still have my challenging days. IT has helped. It is a very difficult road to travel but I'm finding more tools as I go. Thank goodness 🙏

You talked about art. My counsellor suggested journalling & it took a while to start. As I was stuck for words, I instinctively drew a door with a toxic weed grown over all over it. Somewhere there was a lost key I needed to find to open the door, but first I had to clear away the weeds. Then the words came in the following pages.

Only recently I went back and looked at this journal and drawing on the 1st page... My goodness I've come a long way!

As I'm now healing, I to draw the key I found and me standing on the path to somewhere with that open door far, far away in the distance behind me.. and whatever comes instinctively. It will be lovely and I might even frame it and put on my wall to see how far I've come.

Namaste 🪷 🙏
