There is a list.

There is a list. There’s a list. On a crinkled white page, set on a clip board on the old dresser in the kitchen. My list. One of them. My life is set against lists now. Lists of friends on online groups cheering me on. Lists of food I can…

Kitchen sink tears.

My life beyond the cancer seas Here is a woman. As the light shines in through the kitchen window she wipes away the tears, her head is bowed, her arms across her middle. She holds herself thus for a few minutes, letting the tears come, watching them drop into the…

A tale of two wolves.

My journey beyond the cancer seas. Do you ever have a sense of internal freeze. A slow motion moment of seeing the bullets of your thoughts ricochet around your skull? As if you are starring in your own western version of the good, the bad and the ugly? Which thought…

The seats of the seven.

Beyond the cancer seas and into the menopause mountain It was dank. I think in Scotland they would call this day a dreich day. A day filled with mist and cold and little sun. Not a day for an adventure for most, more a day of firesides, steaming drinks and…

Beyond the sting the root.

The magic of nettle. I’m excited. I’m truly happy in this moment. It’s the small things that give joy these days and this is such good news. I will tell more about why in a moment. First to set the backdrop of this story. When I was diagnosed with breast…

Lets begin where it ended.

Musings on life after cancer and during menopause New phase and new chapter. The time of recovery that I craved for last year, that I focused on with a single minded obsession. That I was going to survive. And I am thankful to say I did indeed survive breast cancer…

Living the line between realms.

My journey beyond the cancer seas. I can do it. I really can. As I sit again on the edge of my bed the feeling pervades me. Not quite anxiety. More akin to a disquiet. The edge of a sensation. The ghost of a feeling. The pull of the dark…

Standing on the threshold.

My journey beyond the cancer seas. I’m here in that place of beginnings again. About to step back into the world of work and purpose. Poised on a threshold that has seemed so far away for such a long time. Am I ready? No idea. And yet I have to…
