The Sheilas .. .. .. .. .. ..
.... in The Isle of Man with Joyce and Ted ......... about 33 years ago.
Been on the road taking Joyce back up North to hometown St Helens. Life not much more than taking her back, burning rubber on the M1/M6, and making sure she was settled.
Feel a different human now I am back home. Doing the caring is needed and has been central in our lives for two weeks. She is now back in her own homespace and being watched over by her nearby son.
Joyce and Ted were really good to us when the children were little. There was not much cash around and we were living in a tough part of east London. I was working with street gangs and the demands were great. But the wages - not so great. I wrote a book about it. 'Gutter Feelings' it was called. It will give you a clue as to the experience. It equiped me too.
They, Joyce and Ted, helped out big time by taking the Sheilas and Joan on holiday and buying them clothes etc.. Now she is in need. Failing health. Memory poor. Beautiful human with needs.
Now back home.
It feels like a new year has began. Greenbelt is now only three days away for me - then it is the new year in terms of work and mission. Greenbelt will change my life.
I will meet the unexpected.
It is expected.
The unexpected.
I will map out in the next couple of days what I will be doing at GB. I will also be blogging and sharing some photos during the six days.
I will be sharing the impact.
Soul.
you are beautiful ..............
