Reflecting:: When I packed in my Full-Time job to go freelance ..........
A REFLECTION::
Wednesday 9th April 2003
I had previously packed my full-time job in before I went freelance.
Then launched into 4 pieces of work all in different YMCA’s - mainly group work with residents in their Hostels.
I reflected after my first two days ......
Well here I am tired after my 'first day at school' feel.
Well here I am tired after my 'first day at school' feel.
All this in the first two days of my new job at Kingston YMCA. (London)
The people have been fantastic with me to me.
It is said that the first four minutes of contact lasts forever.
You never have a second chance to make a first impression!
These guys have been glorious.
The community. The welcome, the acceptance, the naturalness.
Love it.
So tired now.
Makes me think/feel what a new resident coming to the YMCA feels on their first day.
The bigness, the routines, the policies, the strangers all around which includes the staff.
All the residents here have special needs at Kingston YMCA.
All unique.
All a precious one-off.
All hand made and, like me, a broken offering to the world.
Some have been through hell.
Some still there.
Some with a lifetime of rejection.
Some feeling 'not ok' to the depth of their being.
Some hiding all these feelings and stigmas with artificial distractions.
Among the them are angels.
Some are staff who seem to give and give and share the journeys with the stumbling ones.
Some are residents themselves who have been blessed and supported through crucial times and are longer only 'YMCA takers' but have become 'YMCA makers’.
They are giving back from their life skills to others who are stepping in their footprints.
So beautiful.
God must weep with Joy and weep with sadness at all the pain and the beauty, sorrow and love flow mingled Down’
Looking such a scruff - and the special needs are so clear.
So the stigma cuts into his soul just like that crown of thorns rammed on his head, but it hurts SO much more.
I am tired but the reflection to the depth of my soul does me good.
So bless you as you read and join us on this little journey over the coming days.
We need each other and ___________________________________- 'fill in' space for you.

Mental Health / Emotional Literacy using Blob Tree Tools.
The Blob Secret Feelings Tree is exactly the same TREE as
The Blob Mental Health Tree.
Many people young and older
see the word 'mental' and don't want to go there.
Often Mental Health is seen as only mental disability / mentally ill -
not something we need = becoming mentally healthy ...........
I aim to be in a helping relationship with people.
A slow start into understanding emotions is needed often.
Encouraging people to get in touch with their feelings is an objective.
Contacting them.
Accepting them
Understanding them
Articulating them
Developing the awareness & skills to be able to manage them.
Feelings are not RIGHT or WRONG
it is
BEHAVIOUR which can be right or wrong.
Getting people to make a start in this inner area of life needs
someone like you - YOU
sharing your own feelings which gives others, in a strange way,
permission for them to share their own.
(I am really keen to encourage parents to share their feelings with their children so they can have a role model of such sharing - rather than they only see that 'grown-ups' don't have feelings ! )
There are other Blob Tools which can help to give a slow entry into feelings.

On my website you can search for examples how I have used different tools
to help develop emotional literacy - always so so positive in terms of relationships.

U2 NEWS
U2 guitarist The Edge embraces becoming a granddad as daughter Hollie welcomes baby boy to Ireland
The tot was born back in November and spent time with his famous granddad over the Christmas period
UCD graduate Hollie Evans flew over from London with her husband of
three years, Jamie Hewitson, and little Arlo Jack to celebrate the
holidays with her dad, the Irish Independent reports.
The 57-year-old musician relished spending some quality time with his
new grandson following a successful, sold-out stint on tour with Bono and the boys.
Hollie is the eldest of The Edge's three daughters from his first
marriage to Aislinn O'Sullivan. He married Morleigh Steinberg in 2002
and the couple have a son and daughter.
Proud dad Edge walked Hollie down the aisle at her intimate wedding ceremony in Tuscany in 2015.
The guitarist isn't the only family man of the group either as frontman and proud dad Bono turned up to NYF on New Year's Eve to watch his son Eli perform with his band Inhaler.
Gavin James, Wild Youth and Hudson Taylor also thrilled audiences at the sold-out event.
The U2 pair, who were introduced as "two lads from north Dublin",
serenaded fans outside the Gaiety Theatre near Grafton St with a moving
rendition of Holy Night.
