What About Colours?
I close my eyes, evoking the colour blue. I take a deep breath, letting go. The ebb and flow of the ocean, as the water caresses over my feet springs to mind. I look down, the clear blue water has surrounded me. I don’t resist. I let all the blue thoughts, feelings and memories come…

Is Failure Success?
What does success mean to you? I imagine this question would illicit a different response depending on who I asked. However, I would also imagine that there would be an overlap in the answers given.

Anxiety and Snarling Vipers
To me, I think of my anxiety as a bunch of snarling vipers. Tongues out, spitting venom, ready to strike at any threat that comes my way.
