Survivor Guilt

by KatieP, in category Heart | Love & Romance

Why have I survived when there are so many others struggling with their pain? Why can’t I help them? Can I give away some of my happiness to someone else?

The Pillow

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

There is no trick to holding on to something from your childhood – you simply have to refuse to give it up. The one possession I’ve owned for close to fifty years is my pillow.

Lessons from a Meerkat

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness
lessons from a meerkat

Late one night, I watched a documentary about Meerkats. One of the adult males had been bitten by a snake during the night. The Meerkat, named Ernesto by the filmmakers, crawled out of the burrow, barely able to move. His face was black and distended, his eye swollen shut. As the creature lay panting for breath,… Read More

Begin at the Beginning

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

My earliest memory has been grafted on to my mind like a branch on to a tree. There is no way I could remember my first moments of life, nor the day, thirteen days later when I was adopted.

To sleep, perchance to dream

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

I have always been an expert sleeper. I’m one of those people who wake up in the same position they went to sleep without any recollection of the hours in between. I’ve been known to sleep through earthquakes, storms and noisy parties. I have taken for granted my ability to sleep.

The Worst Thing Imaginable

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

It’s that niggling worry at the back of your mind you don’t talk about. The nightmares you have about death and dying. You try to imagine what it will feel like if (when?) something really bad happens to you.

How do you want to feel?

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

Sometimes when you achieve your goals — the man, the holiday, the house and the body — you discover that it’s not as satisfying as you hoped. So you move on the next thing … praying this time you’ll get what you need.

My struggle with mindfulness

feel my love by Mazzy Blue

Past, present and future. Am I supposed to give up my memories and my dreams so I can live just in this moment?

Are you surviving or thriving?

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

There is a time for survival, when we acknowledge the pain and trauma of our lives and search for others in the same situation to give us comfort and support. But labelling ourselves as survivors is like picking at an open wound. We prod and pry inside for the reasons while reliving the details of our story over and over again. Focussing on the pain, wearing it as name tag keeps us in the same place.

Always Remember

by KatieP, in category Head | Creativity

“Promise me you’ll always remember you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” ~ Winne the Pooh We all get caught up in the business of the day, the things that we have to do, the places we have to be and the responsibilities that are calling our attention.… Read More

Author – Katie Paul

I have survived adoption, bulimia and the suicide of my husband, more or less unscathed. I attribute my resilience to my guardian angels Bob, Fred and Hugo.

I used to be a stage manager but gave it all up to create beautiful images and to write about loss, love, lust and longing. I get a bit raunchy at times because that’s the way life should be – full of big juicy moments. I'm sure Bob, Fred and Hugo agree.
