​Have you ever found yourself in that place where enough is enough!!  Life is fully on top of you and it seems that the slightest mishap will have you plummeting over the edge into mind numbing, body twitching lunacy.  It’s all way too hard and you can’t and don’t want to keep up anymore.  You’ve lost yourself and you’ve lost your glimmer.  Your capacity to function at your best in all the many and varied roles you keep has totally deserted you.  Life has lost its shine and you finally KNOW the true understanding of what it feels like to exist in the ‘rat race’.  What a hopeless place to be!  STUCK STUCK, STUCK, POWERLESS TO MOVE.  We need to pay the bills, raise the kids, keep up social commitments, get a bigger and better house,  attend to our friendships,  throw a bone to our significant other, keep fit, eat well, take time out for ourselves.  Are you KIDDING me – Take time out for WHO?  I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO THAT IS ANYMORE.  

We have ummmed and aaahed about writing this blog all week, purely because we don’t want our message to be misinterpreted.  
So before we go any further let us clarify one very important fact….WE ARE NOT ANTI-VACCINE, nor are we PRO-VACCINE.  We are PRO-CHOICE.

There’s a reason they call it the Silly Season.  The festive period turns rational level headed adults into crazed gift buying machines, and it’s the time of year when any child old enough to write suddenly has the ability to write a Christmas list worthy of winning a Booker Prize.

We’ll get back to the list making later, but for now, let’s stop and think about the commercialisation of Christmas……

Have you ever desperately wanted something and found yourself willing to do and try almost anything to get it!  You get that thing and then after a while the novelty wears off and you lose interest……. or become matter of fact about it.

I think most of us can probably hold our hand up to this experience, whether it be a new car, job, friend or relationship we eventually find ourselves in the reality of the comfort zone.  One of life’s paradoxes is that we at one time or another want to be in the comfort zone and yet if we stay there for too long it can become humdrum and lifeless. 

“Life is your mirror – What you see as your outside.  Always comes from your inside!” Unknown

…… yes I hear you - these wise and insightful words are not so easy to swallow when we find ourselves confronted with a situation that completely rocks our world!  So how about we start of by taking a few little baby steps into this reasoning and see how we go.
