Bright

Lately life has been so busy I barely notice the days slipping by. A new job is sapping all of my time and energy but I am getting so much experience and joy out of it that I wouldn't have it any other way.

While commuting I have been listening to the 'happy place' podcast by fern cotton and I have really been relating to and being intrigued by some of the thoughts they have been exploring. So much so in fact, that I wrote a poem about it (please see below).

I've been interested in the idea of being in control of how we pecieve the world, how we respond and how we feel. I think it's easy to blame 'bad events' or 'bad people' for our moods without taking responsibility for our own wellbeing. I think we forget that how we act and how we speak (even when angry/sad) impacts the world around us. Food for thought I think.

Bright

Some light flickers, 
But seek to shine, 
When light holds even, 
Emotions are mine

We seek constant, 
But fail to see,
We seek the light, 
But we are the key

To me and you, 
I seek to warm, 
For I cause change, 
Even when I'm torn 

Show kinds of light, 
Bright meaning smart,
Bright from your soul, 
And bright from your heart 


Hope you are all well,

Much Love,

Lozzy

Finding the light within the storm

January was a month of lockdown, isolation and teaching from home. A month of sunrises, walks and reading. Dancing, painting, snow falls and quiet. There was beauty where you looked for it. Moments of calm amongst this storm. The snow bought a welcome relief. Some variety to living so cooped up. It felt lovely to feel such coolness in the air and to see the world looking so bright. I built a snowman and felt my worries slipping away. I enjoyed hot chocolates and cosy blankets. February started off much like January but harder. Days working from home felt filled with stress and worry. Long days slumped over a laptop, grinding teeth and headaches, deadlines and lesson plans. However, it has also been filled with love. Valentines day, walks, yummy food and still more memories from this month to make. I wanted to share a few things that are lighting up my life so far in 2021. We all need to find the light in the storm. I downloaded an app called one second everyday and I really recommend y...

My Menstrual Cup and Me

One of my 2021 resolutions was to try and make environmentally conscious decisions and this has started with my period. The stats regarding period product waste in landfill was something I just couldn't ignore.  "Did you know that conventional sanitary pads contain a high percentage of plastic? One estimate is that pads are made of  up to 90% plastic  – another is that a pack of menstrual pads is  equivalent to 4 plastic bags"  ( Friends of the Earth ). "The average person who menstruates throws away  up to 200 kg of menstrual products  in their lifetime"  ( Friends of the Earth ). Image by  PatriciaMoraleda  from  Pixabay This really made me think about the waste that I was producing each and every month.   I decided it was time for me to try something more environmentally friendly and I decided that I would try menstrual cups. Now don't get me wrong, the idea made me nervous. I had heard horr or stories of leakage, cramp...

12 books I'm excited to read in 2021

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!  With new years quickly approaching I have decided that THIS is THE YEAR i'm going to read a book a month. So without further or do, here are my 12 reads for 2021 (subject to change...).  The Magpie Society - One for Sorrow by Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch  This novel is the first in a series set at an elite boarding school. The story follows two students after the findings of a body at the students summer party. They are both drawn together through the unravelling mystery of the girls murder.
