They never said:: "I LOVE YOU" - a life in, (sometimes called 'CARE')





We could have been labeled 
'Residential Social Workers' back in the day.

At
26 me
22 MrsBeautiful
we became houseparents in a Young Offenders Residential School/Unit.
15 Manchester boys
all sent by the courts.

But we were amateurs
we were untrained
but
we had to learn on our feet.

We had only been married a year and we sold up to change our work
into a Mission.

We got these roles because of volunteer Youth Work in St Helens.
But we hadn't’ a clue about inner city deprivation - even basic adolescent needs.

Since I left Pilkington Glass Research laboratory 
we have lived and worked in partnership
in five different residential projects - each unique.
St Helens, Cheshire, Inner City London & outer East London
EACH ONE a stretch.

Since 2003 I have been a freelance - a Trainer & Group Worker & Author.
Inadequacy  - always.

When  I flash back I reflect ………..
On mainly my weaknesses in these roles.
The young offenders unit being one.
I wish I knew what I know now!

As I have said many times::
I never intended to be this age
it just came with experience.

I had no clue how these teens (14 to 17) had lived.
No clue as to their parenting and life lived & survival. 


During the night I downloaded via Apple Books
The new Lemn Sissay’s book about being raised IN CARE.

Reading only page one so far -
it raises big issues in me.
I have been on this journey of learning -
learning about emotions neglect childhood damage and 
Emotions …………….
WE CAN SEE A PERSONS BEHAVIOUR BUT
WE CAN’T SEE THEIR JOURNEY.

THIS WAS ON PAGE ONE OF HIS BOOK::
The book will tear at my gut.
But I want that.
I need that.

All of us have so much to learn:
We don't know
what we don't know::
In terms of 
sensitivity
awareness
empathy
valuing 
communication
loving ……….

Vital foundations - making mine clear


I believe that 
all humans are 
of equal value & 
we need to be closer 
not build walls 
physically 
or 
relationally. 

I believe in :-

WE - NOT - ME. 




We are 
stronger 
richer 
together 
than apart 
so I apply/try 
to live that out 
in all aspects. 

I will not ridicule 
abuse 
put down 
anyone with 
different life 
decisions / values
than myself .

I WILL
Love not hate 
because 
love does a better job. 

I fear for any relationship 
that does not work 
to be closer 
rather than apart.
I believe that
Donald Trump
is not good for the USA
or for the WORLD.
I believe that
Boris Johnson is not good 
for the UK Europe 
or the
WORLD.
#YouAreBeautiful

If you have been on any of my Training Days/Experiences::

You will know that I often get everyone to
 touch finger tips.
Our finger tips are,
yours & mine,
Everyones ...............
Each one is unique
Like the tip owner
They are a symbol of your uniqueness
A mobile & visual DNA
There is something precious about them
and to reach out to touch another
unique finger tip .........
is something special.
Emotionally.
Physically.
This activity is a
feeling
&
a non-threatening touch with another.
To be experienced.
A beautiful experience.

Blob Tree Communication Tools - QUOTES from experiences.





Blobs are deceptively simple figures, recognisably human and manifesting an extraordinary range of emotions and relationships. 
They are a very direct and yet unobtrusive way to help adolescents explore their feelings.”
Jill Aitkin, Canons High School Harrow London.
Even the youngest children can come to own the images, finding in them Blobs that reflect their past and present circumstances and how they would like to be in the future.”
Sarah Davidson:: Slough Borough Council's Educational Psychology Service
