Last week I got a message from one of my Reiki students saying her fam had been given a short time to find a new rental as their landlord is selling up.

Back in early 2011, I found myself back in depression soon after thinking I’d recovered from it. 2010 was a pretty terrible year for me in many ways.

This post gave me the kick up the arse I needed that day, as I was in burnout aka compassion fatigue, and had spent the whole week resting. By the time I read that post though, I felt my own…
