She also knew boys adored girls with unicorns and with one, she would… Read More

Eating Disorder Recovery • Six Years of Sobriety + Seven Recovery Tips

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

On a cold September morning in 2009, I sat in the bottom of the shower sobbing so hard I was almost sick. I wasn’t upset because someone had died, or was ill, or had been hurt in any way, I was crying because I had binged the night before and my morning weigh-in had shown the ugly… Read More

If you know how you receive love from others, you know how to receive it from yourself Many people’s self-love efforts aren’t making any difference because people are following advice based… Read More

The Blogging Sisterhood • Celebrating 1000 Posts

by KatieP, in category Head | Creativity

In the control panel of my blog, the counter for the number of posts sits at 999. I hesitate to write the 1,000th post because it should have some kind of significance. I can’t just write a flippant flyaway piece, it has to be memorial and interesting, it has to mark the occasion with importance. Then, as… Read More

The Silent Treatment • being ignored or being spared?

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

Every few days I scour the pages of seek.com looking for a job. It is a bit like looking for a date on RSVP. I filter out the ones that are too far away, too boring and too conservative. My days of wearing a pencil skirt and blazer are over. But unlike internet dating where… Read More

F is for Fat

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

When I decided to enter a body-building competition in my forties, there was something the trainers and seasoned competitors forgot to tell me. They forgot to warn me that once you’ve experienced being so thin that your tailbone digs into the chair, any weight higher than that will feel fat. So from my point of view, I spend… Read More

Self Portrait 365|18

There is a gap, a huge chasm, between the way we see ourselves and the way others see us. When we look in the mirror, we concentrate on how much we fall short of the idealised notion of beauty we see in magazines and on television.

blue eyes

This is the first time I’ve had long hair in my adult life, except for when I grew it long for my wedding a hundred years ago and got it cut off the week after. As someone who isn’t acquainted with long hair, I’ve discovered a few things I didn’t know.

I think I’ve been trying too hard. So this morning I got up and took a photo without doing anything to myself at all.

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.
