I recon I was aged 15 when I became a Youth Worker. Someone saw something in me which was more than a participant - more of a leader! So I was entrusted with challenges as I facilitated developmental activities with teenagers younger than myself. 60 years on, only pausing for pandemics and such - i have crossed paths with many beautiful humans = and then I get a message this week which hits me for six. Stings on both cheeks.(THE LOVE KIND OF STING) I am blessed - it Blesses me as I sit here with cancer rocking my boat (I don’t feel well at the moment) - and I have been given permission to publish here. I have not seen him since 1985 (or maybe years before?) There is so much more to share about Rob - he has a fantastic memory from his experiences at the Mayflower Youth Work. Thanks Rob for this, (I am planning to ask him to share some stories - back in the day). Thanks to Rob and so many other BHP’s who have held hands with me over the years. I am rich - beyond beyond …………….. Pip BHP

 

A school corridor displaying Blobs in full communication action.  How beautifully non threatening they are & so easy to learn to read each one - read their non verbal communication = a process of becoming emotionally literate.  By reading Blobs we can all learn to transpose the skill to real life humans …….. AND SELF! Talking about this learning = articulating how a Blob is feeling, is a doorway to become able to share our own feelings.  No dumping them.  Not exploding them.  Not fist fighting them.  But:: Wording these inner being parts of our unique self.  Get to know these (almost human) communicators by digging into BlobTree.com The range of tools is amazing & expanding almost daily. 

 These reflections below are about 6 months old. Times have changed. Today and another day this week I am due to visit hospital to sign up for serious treatment which must cost the NHS thousands of pounds. A step into the unknown! They must feel I am worth it! I intend to keep reflecting & learning - and sharing here - because I need to be real & honest.   Yes - this IS a picture of me from back in the day. I guess I was in my late teens. Now I am 81 and feeling it only recently. I am not my chirpy self in recent days. Today we had our usual daily walk and felt to was hard work with every bone and joint aching. I has been about one year since I was diagnosed with cancer in the prostate. It won't go away I was advised. My treatment has been to hold back the cancer so it does not spread. Next week I will have another of my three monthly injections of hormones. The idea is to reduce my testosterone which the cancer feeds off. In the first 6 months I was always saying 'I do

Of all deprivations impacting urban youth - amongst a list of education environment housing etc …….. my conclusion that the worst deprivation was EMOTIONAL DEPRIVATION  WHEN people NUMB their emotions to survive.  It changed my life.  My mission.  My awareness.  My Youth Work.  My Leadership …… … relationships & more.  BHP

…… it has been a long year of missing meeting up.  Friends so permanent but had been at a distant for so long.  I felt nervous that I could not be there, enjoy.  Have the energy but we did it.  I did it! This cancer is a spoiler. I have lost appetite.  I felt weak when we had done.  But loved it all the same.  Two hospital appointments this week ahead.  Experts striving to find the best treatment for me.  Privileged.  Thank you if you read me in this space.  I appreciate.  I have not been as consistent but still want to be open & honest with you.  Being reflective with myself is important.  Not hiding the reality of feelings.  I will keep you in touch with my inner & outer journey as well as I am able.  ✅💲T🅰Y🅱eautiful✅  BHP

Pip this is for you -  John O’Donohue at his poetic best! ❤️ On the day when the weight deadens on your shoulders and you stumble, may the clay dance to balance you. And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window and the ghost of loss gets into you, may a flock of colours, indigo, red, green and azure blue, come to awaken in you a meadow of delight. When the canvas frays in the currach of thought and a stain of ocean blackens beneath you, may there come across the waters a path of yellow moonlight to bring you safely home. May the nourishment of the earth be yours, may the clarity of light be yours, may the fluency of the ocean be yours, may the protection of the ancestors be yours. And so may a slow wind work these words of love around you, an invisible cloak to mind your life. *from Angie Wright

  Twenty-five year-old Dutch DJ Martin Garrix ropes in legendary U2 bigwigs Bono and The Edge for the song It was a well-kept surprise by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix. When Sony Music Netherlands released the official UEFA EURO 2020 song, ‘We Are The People’ by Garrix, featuring Bono and The Edge, on May 14, U2 fans worldwide were elated. This is the closest they could get to the legends’ concert.  After more than a year of anticipation, the track is now available to stream and download via all digital service providers. The song is accompanied by an official music video starring all three artistes which has more than two million views so far on YouTube alone. The track was in the making for three years, and Garrix had felt from the early stages of the creative process that Bono’s vocals would be the perfect fit for ‘We Are the People’. His vision came to life when both Bono and his U2 bandmate The Edge agreed to feature in the song. The collaboration evolved further with Bono writing the ly

  Sorry about my lack of responses to you and others re my health and especially cancer. Everything normal has been disrupted but here are a few updates.  I have been living with pain for a year or more. The biggest hit has been in the past month. I have not been able to sit or sleep some nights -  all kinds of medication have been tested during the recent period - but prostate cancer has progressed to bone cancer  The first few days of May included not being able to sleep at night or sit during the days. Several meds have bee tried on me and at the is moment, for the first time =  TODAY I don’t feel pain.  BUT I am on a mixture of 'prolonged release tablets' plus ‘acute pain tablets’ which will need to end in due course!  GOUT also has hit me again after years - ! Just two days pain here! - I used to get this regularly back in the day when I was conducting training courses - always pumping too much adrenaline  I am continuing, for life, with my three monthly Hormone injections

 

  Level Five Communication is a way into  mending a broken / difficult relationships -  at home or work. I have feelings and memories I want to share ........................  I conducted 'level five' with a group .............   5  humans to start with.  Then it grew in number as we went through Level Five  from bottom to top.  It is really tough on the leader and also the members when a climate of self revelation is kicking in and then ............. comes the invasion of others who are synchronized with the feelings of others.  I always go on about the level five stuff.  If you are new to it all - it is about the five levels of communication.  I have blob drawings so people can say where they are and stuff.  SEE BELOW FOR GRAPHIC I will click through them again:-  Please start reading from level one and climb up NOW  Level five;- total openness  level four;- feelings  level three;- opinions  level two;- facts  level one;- cliché    The idea is to stretch ourselves to build re
