Brae. A gay woman's tale!

The memories on Facebook recently have caused me a wee bit of pain … but also a lot of laughter … today they flung up photo’s from the best holiday I ever had … two weeks in Kenya.  The first week on Safari and the second week on a beach in Mombasa (ironically the hotel we stayed in was burnt down a couple of years later during an uprising … and the shootings that took place more recently in Tunisia were also at a hotel I stayed at!) … take note folks!

I had the best tan ever!

Here are a couple of photos from Kenya that make me laugh … I was 29 at the time … half the age I am now! … jeez!

I have made many, many mistakes in my life. I have spoken out, when I should have kept my mouth shut. I have taken myself out of situations that I find uncomfortable or just don’t enjoy. I have put trust in people that I shouldn’t have. I have made decisions that in hind sight, were very wrong.

The list is endless… but one thing I do know, is that I accept I am not perfect. I am just like everyone else trying to find their peace in this confusing and angry world.

Peace is important to me, more so than anything else. Peace of heart and peace of mind. Sometimes, I have one but not the other and then the balance in my life is all wrong. Sometimes, I have neither and the world becomes a confusing and angry world.

There is no doubt I will make more mistakes in my life. There is no doubt I will find and lose my peace many times too.

I will never be perfect… I will always make mistakes… but with every mistake I make and every lesson I learn from that my peace will always return.

…. and all of them say “I miss the you I thought I knew”
