RUOK - Postcards for Change

I'm participating in a gig this Sunday afternoon. It's for a charity called RUOK - about checking in with your friends (in real time) and preventing social isolation (and suicide - yuck!)

Every year they try to get out there in the media and with gigs and fun stuff to try and get the message out... we need each other peoples....

So this weekend try and hug as many as you can, and then send me a message with how many you achieved.

What else can you do? Call up your friends, schedule in a coffee catch up... If you're in Melbs, make it a walk and catch up, the weather is improving - TG! <><

Also if you're in Melbourne - come to the gig!

Don't be late or you'll miss me mate (That's Girl Friday, the folky music gal who's up first in the live line-up) and me, as I might have to rush back to Blackburn early....

Love ya's

I'm Writing again!

I'm back and with a vengeance - gotta get my words out there and tweets are silly, I need more Space!

Hence here I am back at JocelynSpace and hope you can find me here...

Here's a little poem I wrote last Winter, but reminds me of this winter too - thankfully Spring is beginning to warm the air and I tell you it can't come soon enough...

Stormy Weather Reminds Me

The tumbling, gushing wind

the splinters of rushing rain

remind me of those times in your life

when all seems upheaval

Most call it stormy weather

filling your life with uncertainty

feelings of distress and fear

hesitant to take the next step

These times you just have to weather

like any storm they give way to rainbows

reminding us of love and truth

and better days ahead

And as the wind calms down

and the rain turns to mere drizzle

you can breathe a sigh of relief

and focus once again

thoughts become calm and ordered

you know what has to be done

now you can smile and remember

what you have come through, where you're going to
