Come to the woods but be prepared 👀
I cannot get to the woods so Mick goes for me.
But, really, is that a Demogorgon?

"He deals with people in a very empathetic, human way."

@BBCr4today Superb writing and casting: poignant and laugh out loud funny.
Homunculi can be used as a therapeutic technique but this is way better 🤣

Loving this little gift from the sea during a tough pain flare 💙

Shells, seaweed and ocean calm brought right to my bedside by Mick.

Nature + gentle mind tools = powerful medicine.

@sallythomsett How lovely 🥰

[Barbara Ford-Hammond @barbfh]

I have been sharing a free hypnotic meditation for a long time and it has been listened to by many people. I played it today and discovered that I missed out number 4 in a count down 😵‍💫
No-one has mentioned it
Are they all asleep?
Do they not notice?

It's been awhile. Life, stuff, medical nonsensicalness (really is a word) yet always twirling.
What have I missed in the twittery X world?

It was 9 years today since the surgical screw, that was pushing on my L5 nerve root, was removed. It caused quite the damage.
Despite the on-going consequences I have extreme
gratitude to the donor for enabling me to have a bone allograft 💖

Well, it's been a hot minute tucked away in the turret - 2 total knee replacements with osteotomies.
Gently peeping back into the world while having a rebrand of my business and ready for anything.
Almost 🤣
What have I missed?
