Easter Parade

Easter is not just approaching it has arrived with today being Good Friday many will have switched off their laptop, tablet and desktop some even will have put their mobile phone to one side.

A four day weekend - family time!

Some relish this some dread it some are just going with the flow.

Do you like family time or do you dread it?

As children some would have had a great time when dad finished work and spent time with you and your mum others wish that they could erase those memories as it effects their time with their family now!

I didn't dread family time still don't yet I do know what it is like to be effected by those things that were said and done often in innocence as words were said to encourage that instead made me feel unworthy, unloved and consequently carrying the burden of depression on my shoulders, finding it hard to show my own children the love that I had craved for from my dad!

Thank goodness for my mum who loved me enough for them both and who also showed my children the same love and affection that she'd showed me. my husband too made them feel wanted, loved and safe.

These days though mum has gone, although my husband is still by my side, depression is a thing of the past and I know show that love that I would have bestowed on my children to my grandchildren - and slowly my children are realising that it wasn't that I didn't love them it was I just wanted to hide!

I was one of the lucky ones I found ways to dissolve the depression through various courses and on April 9 I am going to be sharing some of these with you as I delve into Kay Downie - Business Page 's toolbox. This is an online event and an be booked via this link!

Love is the bond that joins families and strangers together and when we can love and respect ourselves that bond strengthens bringing hope and peace to those hearts that have been broken.

Are you loving who you are or are you hiding the true you?

Have you found that inner peace?

Happy Easter everyone
