Cocoon Life: February 2010
http://bextamarie.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 27, 2010. Mens prison has a smell that is indefinable. Layers of lifes smells intermingled with the bubblegum fragrance of institutional floor cleaner. Every sense is assaulted. The damp, darkness of an old Victorian wing blends with the moist heat of the radiators. From the ground floor you can see the 2 floors above through a mesh of iron mesh floors and stairs. Wearing a skirt was never an option. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Living with ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and the Marshall Protocol.

Cocoon Life: October 2010

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. The Highly Sensitive Person. I used to think that when I was called too sensitive it was an insult. I was thrilled by challenges and a hint of danger. Perhaps, subconsciously I was attracted to doing things that required sensitivity but were also seen as tough - acting, humanitarian aid, social work etc. A month back, my GP said to me youre too sensitive to be a social worker and I did take that negatively.like being highly sensitive was a character flaw. L'Ombre de mon Ombre.

Have you ever noticed the way a child will become engrossed with something small.a rock, a snail, a leaf? Time can dissolve for them as they play and wonder about their world.

Cocoon Life: June 2010
http://bextamarie.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 13, 2010. A Tapestry of Diamonds. Its 112 am and I am awake. Nothing unusual in that - comes free of charge as part of the CFS/FM package. Funny, sometimes I am so exhausted I cant do anything - yet sleep still eludes me. My body seriously aches - like Ive done a few rounds with Mohammed Ali - and this hard bed is not doing me any favours. (Note to self - must get soft mattress soon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Getting back to basics after the busyness of life has been stripped away by a c...

Cocoon Life: The Gift
http://bextamarie.blogspot.com/2010/08/gift.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. I am amazed. So truly alive and so truly amazed at life. For the first time I am experiencing consistent joy and wonder as I walk hand in hand with Synchronicity and Serendipity. Awe whispers in my ears and my heart is full to overflowing. I wonder about being a man today and I feel a sense of them being disenfranchised. What conflict arises when both walk in the masculine energy? If we, as women, take over control and management of the relationship - what does that say to a man?

http://bextamarie.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-be-welldespite-feeling-crap.html
Monday, November 22, 2010. How to be Well.despite feeling Crap! When I think back over this last year.I can't help but be amazed. Earlier this year I was hanging on by a thread - see April's 'Path of Least Resistance' - I was the sickest I had been over a consistent period and facing homelessness again. What is being Well? Which leads me to my friend Gratitude. When I couldn't even read a book, I lay there giving myself a goal of finding something - anything - to be grateful for. It became a game...This ...

Cocoon Life: The Wonder of You
http://bextamarie.blogspot.com/2010/12/wonder-of-you.html
Wednesday, December 1, 2010. The Wonder of You. Have you ever noticed the way a child will become engrossed with something small.a rock, a snail, a leaf? Time can dissolve for them as they play and wonder about their world. One of my favourite songs is Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World', and there have been many times in the last 7 years where I have felt deeply aware of the incongruity of loving that song and my lack of joy and wonder of the world around me. Observation: I feel such grief. I won...

Thursday, April 8, 2010. Path of Least Resistance. Path of Least Resistance. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Getting back to basics after the busyness of life has been stripped away by a chronic illness and a rather unusual treatment proctocol, I have a sense of anticipation to see what emerges in my life.
