Feeling grateful feels great!

In the spirit of balancing out all the negativity that comes with talking about abuse issues, and that depressing narcissistic bloody church, I do sometimes like to reflect on how very lucky I am!
 This week has been a particularly good one! I have been with my favourite people and doing my favourite things! I do that most weeks actually, so I have to be the luckiest of people!

I was in Scotland with the lovely folks  of Fife on Monday and Tuesday, and had a wonderful time teaching them, my students are all so brilliant!
Then I  had clients  all day Wednesday, all getting well and making real progress -always a great buzz from that! 
And Annie came back from Nepal and was helping me all day! Reminded me of my dear friends in Nepal.(This is the clock they gave me a treasured possession!)
Then on Thursday I went to London to do some supervision with some great  girls,  doing excellent jobs in a very difficult arena - could have stayed with them all day! 
I have to pinch myself when I think that I have now personally taught nearly 14 thousand healthcare workers! And they are all amazing people! 
My grandson Ollie got accepted to do an apprenticeship in barbering!
Then I "Skyped" with my buddy Gary from USA - I will be seeing him in a couple of weeks to do the "Winning the Battle of the abused Brain" workshop! so excited!!!

Friday I got to SKYPE with my  "oppo" Ton from Holland, we always have lots to tell each other! Looking forward to their symposium in Holland later in the year!
Wonderful connections and messages all over the world made it easier to fit in the shopping and cleaning! Had a card and a gift from Anthony in Vermont, made me smile.

Today I will be going to London to see my

daughter and my Oscar who is growing and changing almost daily, and is so gorgeous! Tomorrow my lovely son Danny will be coming home for a few days he is guaranteed to lift my spirits.

And I will be speaking to my other great kids on the phone, as I do most days.
I will be with my best friend and husband Gez, who is my rock, and looks after me so well, (especially his wonderful cooking that  feeds

me too well!) Not to mention the beautiful painting he has given me to auction as a contribution to the USA workshop travel fund!
On Monday hopefully will SKYPE with the rest of the board of the "Godless Grace foundation", despite it being in the middle of my night! it is worth it as I am so honoured to be a part of it!

I wrote five more pages of my book, also added more exciting  stuff for the workshops, 
My blood pressure came down a bit, I reduced my steroids by 2 mgs, I feel hopeful that I might get rid of the "moon face" and start to look more like me in the mirror!  The woods are showing a lovely blue carpet as the bluebells come up (another one of Gez's paintings!) 

The forget me nots are out and and the lilac tree is budding! 
All of this and then I get to cuddle Buddy!

What is not to be bloody grateful for! 

Makes me SICK!

Hey pope! thanks for the missive about families and LOVE - heres my thoughts on it!

 What  the pope knows about LOVE could, I think be written on a postage stamp!!
 I do hope beneath his sugary flowery words people can still see the cruel narcissistic reality of the catholic church, and the smily faced snake at it's head.
That they feel they can dictate to ANYONE is beyond me, but to discriminate against  the LGBT community is cruel and unjustifiable.

 They say it is a "long awaited" document, I am quite sure they mean they have taken a long time so they can try and get the same old dialogue into words that baffle with the bullshit. I find the assumption that people are so stupid to be further arrogance.
It is so past time to stop giving any credence to these homophobic misogynist creeps, full of pedophiles, liars and racketeers, why on earth does anyone listen to such a corrupt and hypocritical organisation!
I am not gay, but I have a wonderful gay son who makes me PROUD. I am also honoured to be a patron of the "Pink Triangle", and as an abuse survivor, I do know what it feels like to be alienated, to be dismissed and feel disposable, this church is always so good at being the architect of these disgusting discriminations. 
As I have emerged into some kind of recovery from this wretched church and it's pedophile priest, I have received so much LOVE from the wonderful  LGBT community -  I received NONE from this appalling religion!
LOVE? Love? For F...s sake! He should not even be allowed to utter it's name!
I am trying to find sensible words to describe my feelings, something that will make a intelligent statement, but rack my brains as much as I can I can only come up with the fact that 

They make me bloody sick !!
