About mariner2mother

I'm a mother of a very spirited 14 year old son, and a former merchant ship's deck officer. To feed my creative side I take photos and make a very occasional batch of soap. I am also Reiki attuned and am a student of Energy Healing, having used several healing modalities to work on myself and my family.

Brain Droppings

Posted on July 11, 2017

My brain dropped out. Right out from the bottom. Or was it the top. It’s gone. Disconnected. But only for a while. Can’t think. Words swirl around but I can’t grab them. Second thing to hit my brain this morning … Continue reading →
