Realising Ruby: August 2013
http://realisingruby.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. To go the length. Faith is a journey. With ups, there come downs. That pause of silence. Of realisation, of stillness. For that courage, that belief, that strength. Embrace the thought, embrace the journey. So, after a crazy few months of building upon a service so incredibly close to my heart I came close to crashing and burning.again! I seem to have an issue of go go go until I can not go anymore! Why should I be allowed to do something fun? I was incredibly lucky to have been...

Richard & ABR: Communication
http://richardabr.blogspot.com/2010/04/communication.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. Sometimes one wonders how much these brain injured children understand of the world. of course, their world is a very 'closed' one, as in Richard's case, it is his family, home and school. He hardly ventures out as Mum is 'too busy' to bring him out to 'the world'. So to a ceratin extent, he does understand but the challenge is to get him to communicate his understanding, his wants and needs to us caregivers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Realising Ruby: Letting Go
http://realisingruby.blogspot.com/2013/11/letting-go.html
Tuesday, November 5, 2013. Mummy, I wish I was Ruby". Why do you say that Sophie? Well she gets the bestest room, and gets to spend more time with you and gets to do nothing! From the mouth of a six year old.and so it prompts me to another update on the journey of Realising Ruby. Sophie could be focussed on what Ruby can't do, but instead she chooses to see the best of what Ruby has and can do. If a six year old can do this.why does it pose such a strain for adults to do? I lay on the bowsprit, facing as...

Richard & ABR: February 2011
http://richardabr.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. GONG XI FA CAI. Didn't realise it's been a good 6 months since our last post! Lots has happened.that's why the incommunicado. To fast forward, Richard starts daily school this year. He was attending mon/ wed/ fri for the last 2 years. We were worried he'd not be used to the rigour of daily school but somehow seems to be able to wake up in the mornings and actually stay awake during school hours! The first 2 weeks were tiring for him and he'd take an afternoon nap. Anyway, may we...

Realising Ruby: Balance
http://realisingruby.blogspot.com/2013/08/balance.html
Tuesday, August 20, 2013. So, after a crazy few months of building upon a service so incredibly close to my heart I came close to crashing and burning.again! I seem to have an issue of go go go until I can not go anymore! BALANCE is what I need. I think I have come to realise that I consider balance a 'luxury', or 'treat'. Why should I be permitted to have time to myself? Why should I be allowed to do something fun? What gives me the right to just do sweet nothing? The day came and we were off! As Marily...

Realising Ruby: Bringing out the best of the worst.
http://realisingruby.blogspot.com/2013/10/bringing-out-best-of-worst.html
Monday, October 7, 2013. Bringing out the best of the worst. Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation. The past week has been a time of more learnings for me. Faced with another upcoming challenge for my dear Ruby and those close to her I went to a dark place. Showing resilience and a sense of being un-phased just didn't cut it this time! We are never alone x. Writing is a form of therapy...

Realising Ruby: June 2013
http://realisingruby.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. As the sky parts, from grey to blue. From a seed. a flower. No matter the weather. There is always hope. There is always a glimmer. Sailing to be free. What about sit or stand? Doesn't matter what happens. For what matters is to be sat in the boat. Absorbing the rough with the ease. Watching the flower bloom. Through the parting trees. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Realising Ruby: Care for your self and soul
http://realisingruby.blogspot.com/2014/01/care-for-your-self-and-soul.html
Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Care for your self and soul. There are twenty four hours a day given to you, to do with what you will. Hmmmmm twenty four hours, doesn't seem like much, but to many 120 hours a week are wished away to get to the weekend, where many people try to cram as much in to 48 hours as possible, before misery sets in again! Why do we do this? Why can't we enjoy each and every minute, hour and day which is on offer? Why should I care or worry about what others think? 8213; Jocelyn Murray.
