An Open Letter to the West Midlands Ambulance Service and Worcestershire Acute NHS Trust
Dear West Midlands Ambulance Service and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, Many of us have watched the recent “Ambulance” series on BBC 1 and “999: What’s Your Emergency” on Channel 4. We know how hard you all work, and we know that you get abuse and treated...
Three And A Half Years PF – Post Frankie
I know, I know….I have not been as good as updating this blog recently. This is one project where my Libran indecisiveness, which I have in abundance, has been very much at play and over the last year I’ve had a strong should I/shouldn’t I write in it and update it...
It Was The Year Of Rebuilding….
"It was the year of fire... the year of destruction... the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth... the year of great sadness... the year of pain... and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything...

I was proud and honoured to be asked to help at a charity concert last weekend by my good friend Rev'd David Southall, who organised a "Voices For Health" concert to raise funds for the Meadow Birth Centre and the Fay Turner Suite at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital....
The Kindness Of Strangers: Restoring My Faith In The World And In People
It is ironic that a couple of weeks or so ago I wrote this post entitled “The Power Of Forgiveness” about being betrayed by people who I thought were my friends and about how forgiving them had allowed me to move on with my life and achieve things I had never thought...

I Have A Dream…..
On August 28th 1963, Martin Luther King stood up and said four words that changed the world – “I have a dream.” I too have a dream. In fact I have lots of dreams…. I have a dream that I am the mother of a strapping two and a half year old little boy. He is testing the...
Almost 2 Months On….Where Am I Now?
I know that I posted on November 14th 2015 saying that "all good things must come to an end" with the intention of moving over to my new blog "Happiness Personified", which at the time seemed like the right thing to do. At that point I had just laid Frankie to rest...
Dear Zia Maria…..
Dear Zia Maria, Zia….that’s Italian for Aunty. But you have been so much more to me than just an Aunty. You were always there for me to help, guide and advise from the moment I was born. You helped to look after me, to bring me up and you were a constant part of my...
