For the last two weeks I have been horse riding through the Phoenix Park, and what can I say but wow.... The last few weeks for me have thrown some challenges my way and so it is great to find an outlet to just be, to enjoy, to forget everything and be present.

Forgiving

Submitted by jojo on Wed, 01/09/2010 - 23:28

I've found forgiveness one of the hardest things to do I recovery. Probably because it isn't achieved through brut force or through intellectualisation of it - forgiveness I guess is far to precious, sacred and pure to respond to either of those two less sophisticated cousins. I find it hard to forgive myself, let myself and my wrongdoings go and also other people I do find it hard. Anyway I'm guessing it comes through patience and time and compassion, understanding and love. Hopefully it'll be a natural occurence.

Thai Yellow Chicken Curry

Submitted by mystique on Mon, 23/08/2010 - 21:24

Hi, I recently made a thai yellow chicken curry from scratch, without needing the paste, and is so simple, so thought others may be interested in it.

Yellow Curry Sauce Ingredients

2 red chilies (or substitute green), depending on desired spiciness, OR 1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (I used the cayenne pepper, as don't have a high tolerance for spice, and felt would be easier to modify by using the pepper rather than fresh chillies)
2 shallots (or 1 small cooking onion)
1 thumb-size piece of ginger, sliced
3 large cloves garlic
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin

Resilience, recovery and self defence

Every monday night I am assaulted, thrown on the ground and suffer pain.I actually pay for this privilege,don't like missing and also do it to others. To clarify it is a self defence class for a martial art called Aikido.Mental attitude is a very significant aspect of training.Looking back to when I started the class there are some metaphors with recovery

Shopping and Freedom

Submitted by mystique on Sat, 14/08/2010 - 18:41

I was in town today, trying to see if I could find a particular dress/tunic from M&S - last night they hadn't my size (nor could it be ordered in, and checked their website too, but to no avail), but as I was going in to town early to get my hair cut, decided to check again before my appointment at the hairdresser's, in case one appeared when tidying up at close of business the previous evening.

Hope

Just would like to share with you a wonderful moment. This morning one of my clients, who is a careworker now brought me to see her little baby girl. She is 3 month old. What a miracle, what a beauty, even if I am writing it I can see the lovely face, the beautiful eyes, the Hope for the future, the innocence. This little angle does not realise that she made my day.
I am remembering the day her mum started her recovery – not an easy journey, but she did it and today she is helping others.
