WHEN YOU LOSE SOMEONE.

‎"You will lose someone 

you can’t live without,

and your heart will be badly broken, 

and the bad news is 

that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. 

But this is also the good news. 

They live forever in your broken heart 

that doesn’t seal back up. 

And you come through. 

It’s like having a broken leg 

that never heals perfectly—

that still hurts when the weather gets cold, 

but you learn to dance with the limp." 

— Anne Lamott

Powerful model to transpose into any Social and Emotional work.

This is so powerful for me. This is the sort of stuff I strive to do with teens and twenties who have been bruised and broken by life circumstances. Those who live in a bubble of homelessness, cannabis, alcohol, routine of waking up in a morning with nothing to do AND maybe petty crime or WORSE !!

If we have any commitment to participation and involvement (because we desire that humans can have opportunities to grow their life and interior life) - just transpose this model into your work. It is a fantastic exciting journey for these kids and anyone who has the opportunity. hmmmmmm

A Pip Wilson Biography November 2012

Pip Wilson is a fragile beautiful human person 

disguised as an author of 20 books 

(lost count)

about inner city youth work 

with young offenders, east-end youth gangs, teams of BHP's 

but also oozing Games & exercises used worldwide as communication and development tools for life and eternity.

Became an adult aged 40.

Involved and learning intensely from group work 

with YMCA Hostel Residents 

who often have had tough experiences which have resulted in 

leaning heavily on drugs and alcohol excess.

Facilitation of teams, groups, communities who are 

stretching and feeling their resilience

desperate to learn to be affective, grow and survive.

Highly qualified with scars from vivid life experiences.

Committed to personal, social and cosmic development 

outside the comfort zones where growth resides.

(Because a Caterpillar looks nothing like a Butterfly

and that one develops from the other.)

Searches for dissatisfaction,

refreshes irritation daily.

Makes love, not just enjoys love.

Makes peace, not just enjoys peace.

Makes energy to live justly

The opposite to LEVEL FIVE COMMUNICATION

Bobby Hossain writes book of letters from prison.

"An emotional and educational read that charts an individuals struggle with anger and the challenging environment that they are forced to live in.  
The book offers solutions; useful tools and antidotes that we can employ as individuals to help us know ourselves and 'shore up' that Achilles heel. 
The book encourages us to take that leap of faith and rise from the ashes bathed in the knowledge of self worth and self discovery."

young people developing and growing into whole persons

Powerful article about kids leaving 'Care'. 

Anyone interested in children and young people developing and growing into whole persons need to read and shudder. 

Terrible about the cost and moreso the strategy of governments and private companies involved to go for the lowest kind of care. 

Think when you was 16 !

Needs. 

Basic human needs
