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 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 Pip BHP

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. BHP

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 Blob Playground http://www.pipwilson.com/p/blob-store.html #BLOB #Growth Tree - helping people to place their finger on where they ARE - and ... http://www.pipwilson.com/2017/12/blob-growth-tree-helping-people-to.html #Blob #Maslow #Needs, #Id #Ego #Superego, #Shadows, #Level5 #Okay, #Parent/ Adult/ Child, #Retention, #SWOT, #Anger #Child/ Teen/ Adult #Enneagram, #HALT http://www.pipwilson.com/2018/01/blob-tree-tool...
