Let's face it; punctuation saves lives. There's a massive difference between "Let's eat, grandpa" and "Let's eat grandpa." Punctuation creates sense in writing. Some of it comes as second nature, some of it tends to get misused (like commas). This blog will teach you how to use punctuation to prevent more grandpas from being eaten.
To define punctuation: it is a technical tool used to separate sentences, highlight certain elements and clarify meaning. Mastering punctuation marks will help you master written English, making all of your writing entirely legit.

- Full Stop
- Question Mark
- Exclamation Mark
- Comma
- Semicolon
- Colon
- Parentheses
- Hyphen
- En Dash
- Em Dash
- Double quotation marks
- Single quotation marks
Without further ado, here's a list of punctuation marks and symbols that we will discuss in this article.
- Full stop
- Question mark
- Exclamation mark
- Comma
- Semicolon
- Colon
- Parentheses
- Hyphen
- En dash
- Em dash
- Double quotation marks
- Single quotation marks
Full Stop (Period in American English)
Of all the English punctuation marks, the full stop is second nature. Full stops tell the reader "this is where the sentence ends." A full stop does not elevate the content of a sentence in any way; it merely signals completion.
Example: Paris is a beautiful city.
Question Mark
If the sentence is a direct question, it will have a question mark at the end. But ONLY if it's a direct question.
Example: Are you feeling hungry?
If the sentence is a reported question, it does not need a question mark.
Example: She asked if I was feeling hungry.
If the sentence is a request phrased as a question it does not need a question mark.
Example: Would you please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
If the sentence is super long (like the ones asked by reporters), it needs a question mark.
Example: Is it true that plastic and metal pollution has been the biggest threat to sea life and has fueled rising sea levels causing the death of hundreds of thousands of marine animals annually?
Question marks can also appear inside sentences. This is often due to a quote or an author's comment in brackets (see Brackets).
Example: "What am I doing here?" Harry asked.
Example: I enjoyed that movie by Christopher Nolan (or was it Michael Bay?)
Exclamation Mark
The exclamation mark is used to emphasize, dramatize, express feelings of astonishment, excitement, or signal urgency; it is the most emotional of all punctuation marks. Using an exclamation mark in your essay title will definitely make it attention-grabbing.
Example: Quick! Get to the chopper!
It is often used in sarcasm; when the person means the opposite of what they're saying.
Example: Fixing a flat tire with scotch tape. Very clever, Shawn!
The exclamation mark can also be mixed with the question mark for a heightened sense of surprise. This is usually done in informal settings.
Example: Linda and Davis have a child!?
Since we're living in a digital world, things tend to get dramatized very easily in SMS, chats, and social media. Putting a few extra exclamation marks at the end of a sentence is a regular practice for extra emphasis. Keep in mind that in professional settings, this could be regarded as a sign of illiteracy.
Example: I told you a million times, I am not a Hippie!!!
The comma is a complicated punctuation sign because of its many grammatical, mechanical, and stylistic uses. To keep this entry brief, we have dedicated a separate blog post to it. Head there for a detailed description of the comma and all its uses.
In brief, a comma is a tool used to separate elements in a sentence. Using a comma creates a slight pause or a break between two sentence fragments. The importance of separating sentences with commas can be seen in the example below:
No comma: It's time to eat kids!
With comma: It's time to eat, kids!
Here are some more common uses of the comma:
Stacking adjectives in a sentence.
Example: She is a sharp, punctual woman.
Making a list of items.
Example: To film this scene we need lights, props, stabilizers, and a tripod.
Separating the name of the city from the country.
Example: He was born in Berlin, Germany.
Directly quoting someone.
To quote Steve Jobs, "Stay hungry, stay foolish."
Semicolons can be used instead of conjunctions (and, but, if, yet) to separate two independent but related clauses in a long sentence.
Example: I gave Mark my guitar to fix, and he said he'll have it done by Thursday.
The conjunction and can be eliminated in favor of a semicolon.
Example: I gave Mark my guitar to fix; he said he'll have it done by Thursday.
Using the semicolon instead of conjunction improves this sentence by making it easier to read.
Similarly, commas can combine two short sentences for the same effect. This can only be done if both sentences are related; if they make the same point.
Example: Daphne has a big presentation tomorrow. She can't hang out tonight.
These two sentences are similar; they both signify that Daphne is staying home. This is a great place to put a semicolon instead of a full stop.
Example: Daphne has a big presentation tomorrow; she can't hang out tonight.
Semicolons can also separate items that contain commas in a list.
Example: I studied in Phoenix, Arizona; Atlanta, Georgia; and Los Angeles, California.
The colon punctuation mark usually introduces a list.
Example: Your daughter must take the following required courses: digital media marketing, investigative journalism, and film studies.
If the writer does NOT introduce a list, use commas instead.
Example: Your daughter must take digital media marketing, investigative journalism, and film studies as these are all required courses.
Writers also use the colon between two independent clauses, when the second clause illustrates the first.
Example: My fellow Imperials: think not what the Empire can do for you—but what you can do for the Empire!
Lastly, colons are an excellent tool for emphasizing the ending of a sentence. Using the em dash is also correct in this case.
Example: Three weeks in a mansion by the seaside, an easy summer job, all the beautiful girls in the world: this will be the best summer ever.
Writers use parentheses to provide clarification or insert an afterthought into a sentence. It can be a word, a phrase, or a couple of sentences, depending on the author's intentions.
Example: Pop music is all the same to me (not that I have anything against it).
The writing inside the parentheses does not in any way affect the grammar of the sentence. Many writers often make this mistake. The trick is just to read your sentence without the parentheses to see if it makes sense.
Correct: Drake (and his manager) ate pizza at the local pizzeria.
Incorrect: Drake (and his manager) were invited to eat pizza in the local pizzeria.
The primary function of a hyphen is to create compound words. These are terms with more than one word representing a single item or idea.
There are Open Compound Words (living room, coffee mug), Closed Compound Words (notebook, baseball), and Hyphenated Compound Words (long-term, nickel-and-dime, Spider-Man).
A hyphen also separates numbers written in words.
Example: My dog is fifty-nine in dog years.
En dash
The en dash is often confused with the Hyphen and the em dash punctuation signs.
Most frequently it is used to represent a range of numbers, distance, or a relationship. This may sound a bit confusing, so let's take a look at examples.
A range of numbers represented by the en dash could be dates, time, or years. In the example below, the en dash substitutes the word through.
Example: Your homework is to read chapters 4–6.
In the next example, the en dash is used to show the scores of a football match.
Example: Liverpool beat Manchester City 2–0.
The relationship signified by the en dash can be conflict, connection, or distance.
Conflict: The American Civil War started from the north–south slavery debate.
Connection/ distance: The Berlin–New York flight.
Em dash
The em dash is more commonly used within sentences. It is very versatile, allowing writers to use it instead of commas, colons, and parentheses. The general idea is to make an interruption within the sentence for a specific effect (depending on the context)
Example (Em dash instead of comma): When Mark gave me back my guitar—two weeks after I asked him to—it was all greasy and scratched.
Similarly, em dashes can be used instead of colons and parentheses as demonstrated in the examples below.
Example (Em dash instead of colon): Three weeks in a mansion by the seaside, an easy summer job, all the beautiful girls in the world—this will be the best summer ever.
Example (Em dash instead of parentheses): Pop music is all the same to me—not that I have anything against it.
Double Quotation Marks
Quotation marks have a straightforward purpose. They signify that the following sentence is a quote.
"I can't believe you're late to class again," Miss Dolores said.
Any other use of quotation marks is plain wrong. Using quotation marks for emphasis is a "huge error", especially when you have italics for that very purpose. It's Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, not "Pulp Fiction."
Single Quotation Marks
Single quotation marks are a simple grammatical sign.
They show possession: Is that Jake's bike?
They also show contractions (we have those covered in a separate blog): You're a hilarious guy, you know that?
Single quotation marks are also used when someone is quoting someone else in a sentence: "Miss Dolores told you a million times, 'Don't be late to class,'" Mom said.

Ode to the Duck Egg
The farmer called:
He's got 3 dozen.
Our stomachs did a flutter, enthralled;
Spring has truly begun!
To crack them;
To hear them sizzle in the pan;
To eye the white whites,
the orange yolks!
And then to bite
Their luscious ducky goodness
Soaked into the sourdough toast.
Truly a taste of heaven.
Homemade Body Butter
My homemade body butter turned out great. Here is the recipe for a luscious treat for your winter-battered hide!
3 oz. coconut oil
3 oz. cocoa butter
3 oz. shea butter
1 oz. emulsifying wax
1/2 Cup organic olive oil
Melt ingredients together on stovetop lowest setting just until melted. Put in freezer until it starts to harden – about 10 minutes. Whip in mixer with wire whip for 5 minutes. Stir in 3 Tablespoons vegetable glycerine. Put back in freezer for about 5 minutes, then whip again for 5 minutes. Stir in essential oils, if using, put in jars.
By the way, using a small kitchen scale to weigh out the ingredients is a great way to make it very easy to measure solid ingredients like this. You don't have to try packing them tightly into measuring cups. Just put the empty bowl on the scale, zero it out, and start adding clumps of material until the desired amount is reached.
I added essential oils of blue tansy (20 drops), lemongrass (40 drops), and lavender (40 drops). Blue tansy helps to reduce inflammation and I love the smell, lemongrass is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory and I love the smell, and lavender is a soothing anti-spasmotic and I love the smell! This threesome will be very powerful to rub into my hardworking hands, aiding my muscles and joints as well as keeping my skin soft and unbroken.
Mountain Rose Herbs – My favorite place for all the base ingredients
Aromatics International – A great source for essential oils. They test every batch so you are assured of no adulteration. Test results, use, and safety information all available on their excellent website.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 3 so far )
Cinque Terra, Italy
How is that for a hiking trail? This section is on the trail linking the 5 towns of the Cinque Terra in Italy. Back and forth down we went for a very long time. It didn't matter – the views were incredible! Turquoise water with the charming town below. This is not strenuous hiking by any means. If you are a die-hard hiker you might be disappointed here. You are not out in the middle of nowhere nor are you walking any great distance. But you are walking time-worn paths amid ancient olive groves and grape vines. This is hiking for pure pleasure, any exercise you get is an afterthought. And the pizza, pesto and farinata at day's end ain't bad either! In October, 2011, this area was devastated by horrible downpours of rain that caused flooding and mudslides. Thankfully, the trail has been rebuilt and reopened and many people are still working to restore the hillsides and to build better water drainage systems. This area is too wonderful to lose!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Baby Kale Harvest
One of the benefits to starting a whole bunch of baby kale plants early is that you can actually start to enjoy eating them! Here is my big bowl of baby kale leaves ready to add to my salad. They are so tender and delicious!
I do think I missed my calling. I could be very happy as a farmer.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

Swaddling: Why Swaddle?
Swaddling is one of the oldest baby traditions around. The earliest evidence of swaddling begins in 4000 B.C. with the migrating mothers of Asia. For thousands of years, parents have wrapped infants to carry, soothe and protect them and to promote sleep. In recent years science has stepped in and provided proof that swaddling is one of the most effective, gentle, and beneficial practices for mothers and their baby's.
The Academy of Pediatrics published a study in 2002 concluding that swaddled baby's sleep more peacefully by preventing spontaneous arousals (reflex movements) and that baby's stay in REM sleep longer than non-swaddled baby's.
Through our focus group studies we have found that babies using a Slumber Swaddle™ sleep on average more hours per night than with other swaddle blankets. There were no middle of the night awakenings to rewrap and soothe a crying baby as the Slumber Swaddle™ stayed in place through the night.
Swaddling is comforting for babies; it reminds them of being in the womb, secure and cozy. It benefits parents as well – if baby can rest, you can rest. Here are just a few reasons to swaddle:
- More sleep! Baby's sleep longer when wrapped securely
- Safer Sleep! Research has proven that swaddled babies are less likely to experience SIDS and when swaddled correctly they are more likely to stay asleep on their backs, and are less likely to get caught in loose bedding and blankets
- Feels like the womb! Your baby spent all that time in the tight space of the womb before birth feeling warm and secure. After birth they miss that feeling and cry out for the comfort of swaddling
- Establishes a Sleep Schedule! Your baby will learn, over time, that when they swaddling process begins it is time to go to sleep. They will have learned to associate swaddling with resting.
- Self-Soothing! Swaddled baby's soothe themselves back to sleep when wrapped snuggly and correctly. Parents will appreciate this most when the clock strikes four am!
- When Mama's Happy, everyone is happy! Swaddling keeps baby content and helps them sleep better and for longer stretches of time. That means that Mama gets more restful sleep too and well rested parents are better able to meet the needs of their family.
- Mimics touch! Touch is necessary for your baby to grow and survive. When you can't hold them yourselves or be skin-to-skin with your baby, snugly swaddling is the next best thing!
Swaddling 101
You can start swaddling your baby as soon as they are born. It reminds them of the warm and cozy feeling of the womb. Remember to always put your baby to sleep on their backs!
- Never put your baby into bed with loose blankets. Make sure the swaddle is snugly wrapped around your baby so that it doesn't loosen during the night. This is one of the greatest advantages of the Slumber Swaddle™- it snaps into place therefore so it cannot become a loose blanket in the crib.
- Make sure your baby is dressed appropriately for the weather and the room temperature before swaddling. Pediatricians recommend a sleep environment of 65-72°F (18-22°C). It is important to dress your baby appropriately for sleep.
- The swaddle should be snug but not too tight. Loose swaddles become loose blankets, a no-no for your baby. Slide your hand between the swaddle and your baby's chest. It should feel as snug as your hand slide between your pregnant belly and the elastic waistband of your pants at the end of your ninth month.
- Use a swaddle, like the Slumber Swaddle™, that does not restrict your baby's hips or legs. Improper swaddling by tightly wrapping your baby's legs straight down can lead to hip dysplasia. Be sure there is enough room at the bottom of the swaddle so that your baby can flex and bend their legs.
Swaddling Feels Like Cuddling
Touch is vital to an infant's development. It is why their skin is so soft and they smell so good … so we will TOUCH them. Yet it is just not possible to remain in constant cuddle mode with your baby. Swaddling, to a certain extent, imitates cuddling which leads to your baby being calm and content – a comforting alternative.
Researchers have recognized that touch is a basic need. Studies have found that infants who are deprived of touch grow slower, even if you meet all their other basic needs. For example, premature babies who were massaged for 15 minutes three times a day gained weight 47 percent faster than others who were left alone in their incubators though they did not eat more than their touch-deprived counterparts. Further, tests on lab animals demonstrated that touch simulated by an inanimate object produced the same positive effects as touch from their moms.
Research has found that touch-whether from a person or an object (think swaddling)—boosts the feel-good hormone oxytocin and diminishes cortisol, the stress hormone. Sounds simple, but the positive effects of touch are far-reaching and profound, making us healthier and smarter while boosting our moods. It even helps us bond with one another.

The Sussex Learning Trust is responsible for the successful management and development of Warden Park (an academy for young people aged from 11-16 in Cuckfield, West Sussex) and Warden Park Primary Academy (an academy for young people aged 4-11 in Haywards Heath, West Sussex). Both academies operate as independent schools maintained by government funding. Parents do not pay fees.
Click here to find out more about our Trustees.
Warden Park is a very popular secondary school with a strong academic and sporting pedigree. Students enjoy a very broad curriculum that meets their wide-ranging individual enthusiasms and needs, including: separate sciences; dance; drama; music; history; geography; a wide range of technology options; Latin, classical civilisation; philosophy and at least one compulsory modern foreign language.
We encourage all students to qualify for the new English Baccalaureate. As a Leading Edgeschool, Warden Park also offers all students a wide range of enrichment opportunities including: community service, critical thinking and entrepreneurship. Gifted and Talented students achieve particularly well at Warden Park, and the academy also has a reputation for supporting young people with special educational needs.
Heyworth Primary School reopened in January 2012 as the Warden Park Primary Academy, sponsored by Warden Park Academy Trust. The primary academy is judged by OFSTED (June 2015) as being "good". behaviour, the quality of care, guidance and support, the curriculum and the school's leadership and management. The school is a happy and safe place, where children are able to realise their full potential and learn from an exciting and challenging curriculum.
Thanks to powerful leadership and the efforts of a strong and dedicated staff team the school is on a clear upward trend of further improvement.
2011: Warden Park Academy Trust was formed when the successful school of the same name in Cuckfield became one of the first schools in the country to convert to Academy status. January 2012: Heyworth Primary School in Haywards Heath became a constituent part of the Trust and changed its name to the Warden Park Primary Academy.
October 2013: The Primary advanced from 'special measures' to the threshold of 'good' in their Ofsted Inspection. This transformation has been remarkable and testament to outstanding leadership and the benefits of being in a multiacademy Trust. Meanwhile the Secondary Academy has gone from strength to strength and is working towards an 'outstanding' accreditation in 2015-6.
The relationship between Primary and Secondary is outstanding providing excellent pedagogical and Professional Development links and opportunities for teachers. Students and pupils mix readily in shared learning projects with very desirable outcomes. The relationship can be defined as one of mutuality.
2014: Jonathan Morris joined as Chief Executive Officer bringing local expertise and a successful track record as a Headteacher.
2015: The Primary received a very positive Ofsted Report, being judged as "good". The Trust now wishes to expand and increase its partnership working with other schools. It is important to do so under a name which can represent all who wish to join, hence "The Sussex Learning Trust"
These two academies are now working closely together with a shared vision based on:
The Trust has a common set of policies and is governed by a single group of Directors. In order that staff can concentrate on the important task of promoting excellent teaching and learning, the Trust is responsible for all the non-educational functions in both schools such as premises development, finance and catering.
While we are still at the start of what has already been an interesting and invigorating journey, we are confident that our students will thrive and embody our maxim "The Best from All".

A Survivor's Inspiring Experience of Recovery using Wellness Recovery Action Planning. Scottish Recovery Network.
|Amanda Scott, peer support worker and WRAP facilitator, shares her recovery journey and experiences of self-awareness, setting goals, partnership working, self-respect and the power of limitless hope. Amanda, who was described eighteen months ago as a "revolving door patient", now uses her personal recovery and educational experiences to train and inspire recovery in both professionals and other individuals with lived experiences of mental ill health.In order to share with you my recovery journey I feel I need to share with you a little of where I have come from, but the emphasis will be on my ongoing recovery journey. I experienced significant challenges within my family from a young age. I had no significant roots as the family moved homes frequently due to the nature of my father's work making it very challenging to feel a sense of belonging anywhere and in forming trusting relationships.In spite of this I achieved qualifications which enabled me to train and work as a staff nurse in both general and paediatric settings. As a senior staff nurse was frequently in charge of running a ward and all the responsibility that entails. I developed a wide and varied circle of acquaintances out with work and persuade many interests and hobbies. In short I would say I had a good quality of life at this time. However, that was over twenty years ago.In the past twenty years I have lived with:Recalling childhood abuse
Auditory psychosis
Eating disorders
Repeated hospitalisation
Being actively suicidal
Surviving on benefits
Repeated hospitalisation – not always voluntaryBecause of the above symptoms, and experiences associated with them, I became enmeshed in a care system which did not actually work for me or meet my own needs. At times this system contributed to my unwellness by negatively influencing my ability to move forwards with my life. It is important for me to say here that it wasn't that professionals did not care for me or go out of their way to create this situation – they were working with the approaches that were followed at that time and within policies that were in place. However, it led to my feeling I had no choices, and no control over my life and caused poor relationships and at times total breakdown in relationships with professionals.
My experience with the mental health system caused frustration and anger at myself, the situation I was stuck in, as well as with others when I was not being listened to or indeed heard. This experience led to me losing control of my life, the direction I wanted it to take and ultimately it led to loss of all hope of having a happy, purposeful future and indeed at many times having any future.
During this time I experienced periods of compulsory detention (under both the 1984 and 2003 Acts), some of which I concede were necessary. However, these periods tended to be marked by professionals who treated what I had to say very glibly and did not give my views enough importance. Often detention was used as a threat with no room for discussion; however, I would say that more recently this process has started to improve and is used less often.
There are always turning points at certain times in all our lives and my first turning point, putting me on my recovery journey, was during a review meeting where I was being told by professionals that I was a severe and enduring case and that no more could be done for me. I was told that I had had all the available time, resources and treatment and that I had not responded properly .e.g. medication, CBT, ECT. They told me I would continue to be a revolving door "case" but there would always be a bed for me and the ECT I had had could always be repeated. Finally they indicated that when they felt it was necessary I would be placed in a hostel. This bleak look at my future left me feeling powerless.
I left that meeting accepting that this was to be my future and that I had no say in it. However, in the ten minutes it took me to reach a park near where I live I decided "NO". No-one had the right to decide my future except me. I realised I had to find something for myself, something that would prove to me and others I could have goals and aims, work towards them and achieve them by making my own decisions. So, I took up running – I must add here it wasn't to escape from professionals or compulsory detention but it did come in handy!!!
About three and a half years ago I ran a 5km race, my first organised event. It was advertised as a "Fun Run" a concept I struggled with as, on propelling myself across the finish line, I seriously thought I'd gasped my last. However, everyone who gets over the finish line, no matter what state they are in, receives a medal. Most of the competitors thought nothing of their medal, heading straight for the beer and hamburger tent, but I was mesmerised by mine. I couldn't put how I felt into words – for the first time in twenty odd years I had set my own goal, worked towards it and achieved it – I had made my dream become a reality. I put my medal on a hook on the back of my door in my flat and when things become challenging for me I look at it reminding me challenges are there to be overcome and are an opportunity to learn and grow. I have many medals now for 10kms, half marathons and marathons. I have even run with Liz McColgan our famous Scottish Olympian, but that first one remains the most important medal to me to this day and the one I return to when I have doubts about myself.
Things did not simply go smoothly from then on – recovery is a journey with many twists and turns. About eighteen months ago I hit a prolonged difficult patch when I could barely leave my flat except to go for a run or attend out-patient appointments. Around this time I painfully realised that it was actually my own reactions and learned behaviour that was keeping me stuck within services which were not working for me. Along with this self-awareness came the realisation that only I could change my life, no-one else could do it for me. Only I knew what would truly help me live the life I wanted and become the person I aspired to become. Only I could decide what support I needed to do this and that I had to take personal responsibility for all areas of my life and for my future. I was the expert on myself, no-one else was an expert on me.
I applied for a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) training course and, although I found it incredibly challenging, it did improve the overall quality of my life and increased my personal empowerment. It enabled me to recognise the strengths I have within myself which had always been there but I had lost sight of them. I am now more able to seek out my own solutions which helps reduce the intrusive, isolationist thoughts, feelings and behaviours and experiences which contributed to preventing me moving forward. By using my WRAP as a daily self management and self monitoring tool, I am continuing my personal growth by using and reviewing my own wellness tools. I have recognised that these tools enable me to maintain my wellness and allow me to take small steps which I can build on towards achieving my hopes and dreams; including how I want others to respond to me when I am temporarily unable to care for myself and maintain my own safety.
Following completion of my WRAP training I was accepted for Peer Support Training course. At this training I learned the principles of formal peer support – the powerful use of recovery language, the ethics, the "do's and don'ts" practicing in an equal, validating approach. However, I learned so much more about myself, continuing to grow in my own recovery and maintain my own wellness. The most important aspect of this training for me was that it was delivered by someone with a lived experience – making it more real and pertinent to me. It was so empowering that someone with very similar experiences to me could in fact deliver very valuable training to others. I saw what they had and I wanted a piece of that just the smallest part – little did I know just how much more I would end up with.
I noticed the potential for reducing barriers between me and the professionals supporting me, creating a more equal way of working in partnership and with respect on both sides, and recognising the elements of positive risk taking this would involve on both sides.
I returned to my original hurts on my own rather like peeling an onion and built myself back up using all I had learned from the previous inputs making them work for me. This allowed me to, dare I say, love myself but not in an egotistical manner. I was totally unaware that I was allowed to respect and show myself some love or how good that would feel. As I did this gradually the baggage I had been dragging around for years – the guilt, the hurt, the anger, the self hatred gave way to self acceptance "warts and all."
The energy this has released enables me to reach out to others and support them in their recovery journey. Giving back is an important part of my recovery after taking from others for so long.
Since my introduction to recovery as an approach in the past eighteen months I have come across many people from different backgrounds willing to work in this way. Although there are many who remain unwilling to think outside the box; for example, when I was told self harming was my way of coping and there was nothing anyone could do about that – they really didn't know who they were dealing with!!
And now?
Well, I have a paid position of employment with the Community Rehabilitation Team in the Royal Edinburgh as a Peer Support worker; I am a qualified WRAP facilitator providing opportunities for people to develop their own WRAPs and a recovery trainer with Lothian Recovery Network. I am frequently asked to contribute to a variety of presentations and present workshops to students in mental health training using my lived experience of recovery.
Personally I have a strong network of truly equal respectful meaningful friendships which I dearly value. I have a supportive partner who never takes advantage of me and he's very handy when my car breaks down!!
I am able to work in partnership with the professionals who support me in the way I need, enabling me to continue moving forwards in my life by offering me encouragement, listening to me, showing respect for the choices I make and treat me as more of an equal.
I have shifted my identity from being one comprising solely of mental health challenges to an all encompassing one of a more positive identity. I have tapped into my creative side taking up art and crafts.
Not bad for a revolving door patient who was severe and enduring… and yes I still go running!!
I used to send out SOS messages. Traditionally SOS stands for "Save our Souls" and I took this rather passive approach of picking up the phone to my supports when things weren't going so well, waiting for them to "fix" it. I still send out SOS messages but they now stand for:
Save OurselveS
It is time to focus on what is strong not what is wrong and on ability not disability. HOPE is the emotional essence of recovery. It is the key that unlocks the door to recovery. Without HOPE recovery is unlikely and it must be a hope without limits. HOPE is a personal process and has a powerful impact in assisting people regain control of their lives.
At times I can lose my hope and at these times others have to temporarily hold it for me, but as I continue on my recovery journey such episodes are less frequent and of shorter duration.
There is nothing special about me – I have no special attributes. I passionately believe everyone who chooses to, has the potential to recover.
Eighteen months ago I was totally stuck and had little hope of leading a meaningful, happy, quality life and the thought of ending up in an institution was very much to the fore. The future has now opened up for – a future without limit.
I know that the challenges of my mental health will be there and that I will need periods of hospitalisation – indeed in January just past I was in crisis and had a short hospital admission, but this does not mean I am not in recovery. I now see a hospital admission differently. It never means failure but rather part of the process of recovery for me.
For me recovery is an ongoing journey in which I remain open to learning about myself and growing.
To quote the Scottish Recovery Network, "I now let my hopes not my hurts shape my future."
I hope my experience encourages you to believe that recovery is not a dream but a reality. We all have a responsibility in recovery; sharing the positive message of hope and recovery to professionals and individuals alike.

Medical termination is one of the safest methods which women can use to terminate the unwanted pregnancy. Medical termination is performed as per instructions and also the process can be easily performed at home corners. To have a safe termination at home corners women are prescribed to order online abortion pills and use this medicine at home corners safely. These drugs are safe to use and are FDA approved hence women use this pregnancy termination pill safely for termination. This medical termination process can easily be used if your gestation period is up to 7 weeks.
Women to terminate 7 weeks of pregnancy using the Generic RU486 pill as this medicine is used primarily to have a termination. This abortion pill contains Mifepristone as an active ingredient and this medicine helps to break the lining of the uterus so that pregnancy parts can get expelled. This anti-progesterone pill first breaks the lining of the uterus and then separates the fetus from the uterus so that pregnancy parts can get expelled. This pill further helps to contract the uterus so that the fetus can get expelled from the body.
You need to gulp 3 Generic RU486 pills so that it can lead to termination. This abortion pill if is used in combination then you need to gulp one pill of this Mifepristone pill and 4 pills of Cytotec and Misoprostol.
There are rare cases of incomplete termination due to only use of Generic RU486 hence this medicine is used in combination with Misoprostol or Cytotec so that you can have a successful termination. Many of the women are prescribed by doctors to have an ultrasound test as this can help the women to conclude the termination of pregnancy.
Before you buy Generic RU486 online you need to make sure that you do not have any of the medical issues related to liver, kidney, uterine rupture and intestinal infection. Women those who are allergic to Mifepristone or any other ingredient of this abortion pill should stay away from the use of this termination pill. In case women have the intrauterine device in the body than they are suggested to remove the device first and then use this termination pill for use. The generic RU486 pill should not be used if women, those who carry an ectopic pregnancy.
Generic RU486 pill results in symptoms like bleeding, cramping and clotting and these symptoms indicate that termination process is going. Other than these symptoms you can have side effects like nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea and in case if these side effects get severe then you need to seek a medical help.
Generic RU486 pill reacts with many of the medicines so make sure that you do not use any of the pills that reacts with this termination pill. Magnesium reacts with this abortion pill hence you are suggested to avoid the use of these pills. Use of sanitary pads instead of tampons should be avoided so that you can avoid having the risk of having infections.

Date: 22/08/2014
Competition: FAI Cup
Round: ThirdRound
Venue: Richmond Park
Clarke; O'Brien, Hoare, Foran (Oman, h/t), Bermingham; Brennan; Byrne, McCormack, Fahey, Forrester; Fagan.
Murray; Gannon, McDonagh, O'Connor, Hand; Dempsey; Connolly, Keegan (Coughlan, 67), McDonnell (Gallagher, h/t), Murphy; O'Sullivan (Murtagh, 81).
Shelbourne survived an onslaught in Inchicore to somehow bring St. Patrick's back to Tolka Park.
Liam Buckley's league champions utterly dominated for virtually the whole 90 minutes at Richmond Park.
But poor finishing, and a couple of fine saves from man-of-the-match Greg Murray, meant they couldn't put the First Division promotion-chasers away.
In an open game from the kick-off, Shelbourne were unconvincing defensively, gifting Conor McCormack a free header from Ian Bermingham's cross which he planted wide inside the first minute. John
McDonnell's side were not so fortunate two minutes later when St. Patrick's took the lead.
Again it came down the left as Keith Fahey and Bermingham worked the ball to Chris Forrester.
Defender Adam O'Connor appeared to slip as the low cross came in, allowing Christy Fagan all the time in the world to pick his spot.
But St. Patrick's were the ones then left asking questions at the back as Shelbourne punished poor defending to equalise on 10 minutes.
Jordan Keegan picked out Alan O'Sullivan down the inside left channel. The big striker was then allowed turn a little too easily and appear to catch Pat's keeper Brendan Clarke by surprise with a low shot that beat him at his near post.
Utterly dominant thereafter, Brennan, Forrester (twice), Fagan, Conan Byrne and Fahey peppered the Shels goal with Forrester also forcing the save of the half from Murray.
Service soon resumed after the break with Byrne shooting wide before Willo McDonagh did well to nick the ball away as Fagan lurked behind him; Brennan, Fahey and Byrne having carved Shels to shreds down the right.
Shelbourne were hanging on with Philip Hand well positioned at a post to clear off the line from Fahey following a scramble from yet another St. Patrick's corner.
Substitutes Gareth Coughlan and Luke Gallagher provided some respite for Shelbourne on 72 minutes, the latter blazing over when put through.
Back down the pitch, Murray soon had work to do again, pushing Byrne's low drive away at full stretch.

One lone wolf visit to The French House after the Saturday had blurred into Sunday.
I was wonderfully drinking when I wonderfully met Tymon Dogg.
I was aware of his work, with The Clash most of all.
But listening to his stories of Nico and more was such a joy.
We drank more and The French House frowned as we laughed.
Hope your well Mr Dogg, I remember it being a pleasure x

A corporal and his bike headed into the World Police and Fire Games, which kick off Friday in Fairfax County.
Prince George's County Corporal James Fournier developed his passion for mountain biking after having to fight some weight and high blood pressure issues eight years ago.
"I got into some biking," he said. "I took the police mountain bike course which was about a week long. So after a week of riding, I really developed some skills."
After more than 20 years of military and police service, Fournier will participate in the road race and mountain bike events at the games this year.
Fournier hits the trails on an eight- to 10-mile loop twice a week and says his training and passion fuel his fire to compete.
"My goal is to just give it the best. If i can get something on the top end of it, then that's great. If not, I did my best," he said.
Even Fournier's son competes nationally, after he introduced his son to the sport.
"I used to ride with him, telling him to pick up his pace and he'd say, 'Aw, Dad.' And now, he's yelling at me, 'Come on, Dad, pick up your pace,'" he said.
The World Police and Fire Games will bring 12,000 competitors from 70 different countries.

Latest White PaperGlobal Benchmarking Survey – Third Party Risk: A Journey Towards Maturity
Aravo for
Aravo Ecosystem
Latest White PaperGlobal Benchmarking Survey – Third Party Risk: A Journey Towards Maturity
The Forrester Wave™: Supplier Risk And Performance Management Platforms, Q1 2018 is one of the industry's most rigorous and influential analyses, and is based on research briefings, live product demonstrations, customer surveys and interviews.
Vendors are evaluated on 21 criteria that cover current offering, strategy and market presence.
One of the report's key takeaways states:
"The SRPM market is growing because more CPOs see it as a way to address one of their top challenges. The tools help them meet customers' rising expectations of safety and reliability. They have too many suppliers, and too many risks, to worry about for manual processes to be effective."
This is a must-have report for any company considering their own supplier risk and performance management programs.
In the report, Aravo is identified as "the leading SRPM specialist", which we believe is reflected in Aravo's position as the top-ranked vendor in the current offering category.

If you're a foodie, a wine lover and enjoy traveling, you'll be excited to learn that there will be the first wine and food event of its kind in the world's hippest and magical travel destination, Valle de Guadalupe! On Sunday, October 22nd, Valle Wine & Food Festival will have it's first event that will feature more than 15 celebrity chef food stations and the top 15 Baja wineries, local breweries, live bands, DJs, dancing, book signings, live auction, VIP Lounge, and more.
Not that you need a reason to enjoy this fabulous festival, but you'll also be supporting a beautiful cause. The festival will be donating all proceeds to its private foundation, Fundación Campesinos, an organization founded by Plascencia, Silverton, and Carreño to improve the lives of the farm workers of the region and their families, providing shoes, clothing, and blankets, as well as helping to improve living conditions and introducing vocational education for the children. For this year, the foundation will split the proceeds with organizations in Oaxaca needing assistance due to the recent earthquakes. Makes me love Chef Nancy and Chef Javier even more for organizing this event.
Purchase tickets before October 13 here: Valle Wine & Food Festival here.
"After cooking with Javier in Valle de Guadalupe last summer, I fell in love with the place, the people, and the rustic, over-fire style of cooking," says chef Nancy Silverton, America's reigning queen of pastry and pizza, who recently rose to worldwide fame with a segment devoted to her on the award-winning Netflix series, Chef's Table. "I knew I wanted to come back, and to give back to this place," Silverton says. "After a few days, and a few glasses of red wine, Javier and I, along with my friend and co-author Carolynn Carreño, who is from Tijuana and introduced me to Javier, were determined to start an annual charity event to benefit the farm workers in the region." Thus, the First Annual Valle Wine & Food Festival was born. "I participate in countless festivals around the world every year," Silverton says. "But this is the first one that I am hosting. And I couldn't be more excited. I just know that my fellow Californians are going to love it there as much as I do."
If you haven't been keeping up with my Baja Instagram pics and previous blog posts, Valle de Guadalupe is a wine region about 65 miles south of the border and 15 miles northeast of Ensenada. The Los Angeles Times, Condé Nast, among many other media outlets, more than 200 publications to be exact, describe it as the "it" travel and wine tasting destination. What was a hidden Mexico secret, this peaceful valley surrounded by stunning, arid mountain ranges is now being compared to Napa Valley wine country. But I'm here to tell you that it's a much different experience and you would have to experience it for yourself to really capture it's beautiful and magical beauty. Valle is already known for its notable restaurants, including TrasLomita, Malva, Olivia Fuego, and Fauna, all of which, and more, will be represented at Valle Wine & Food Festival. And its wines — from the sparklings and rosés to the acclaimed Nebbiolos and unique blends — are fast becoming competitive with the best of the world.
In the words of wine guru James Suckling of Wine Spectator in 2008: "I am convinced that Baja California can do it. In fact, it already has. It might be one of the last untapped great wine regions left in the world."
What to Expect
The festival, produced with Plascencia and Silverton by Tijuana native Carolynn Carreño along with high-end cross-border agency Baja Wine + Food, will offer something for everyone. In addition to food and wine stations where guests will have the opportunity to meet the chefs and winemakers, there will be a band stage featuring cumbia rock band Takon Machine, and south of the border celebrity DJs, Lord Valle and Chukuchu. Celebrity Auctioneer Billy Harris is flying in from New York City to host the event.
Booksellers Good Earth/Great Chefs, and offshoot of the world famous Chino Farm, will be there to sell books and host book signings from the participating chefs. There will be a children's corral for coloring, decorating, and other fun take-home projects.
VIP admission includes a shaded VIP lounge with optimal view of the stage styled by designer extraordinaire Marianna Iridin, private bar and mixologist, unlimited drinks including premium and reserve Baja wines, tray-passed appetizers, and all-access to the exclusive Chefs and Artisans After Party.
Don't Want to Drive To Baja Yourself – Here's a Solution
Valle Wine & Food Festival has partnered up with Baja Wine + Food who will be providing transportation from San Diego for $50/person. To book a private travel experience, which can include private transportation, accommodations, Festival admission, exclusive winery visits, adventure activities, and restaurant experiences, contact Baja Wine + Food's concierge team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you can't make it this year, you can always capture my adventure on Sparklinglala Instagram account.

The focus of these new digital companies include providing secure solutions for sharing patient data with practitioners. If they succeed as hoped, they could be creating a new wave of innovative, preventative solutions, which could avoid an over reliance on residential care homes and use of geriatric wards in future. It would also save the Council purse and NHS serious money in the long run if they get the combination right.

- Closure: Cork
The Bitter Truth Lemon Bitters were the first lemon bitters on the market. They add the liveliness and freshness of lemons to every cocktail. They are primarily suited for drinks that are based on clear spirits like Vodka, Gin and Silver Tequila, but also go well with many other spirits and liqueurs.
Fresh and fruity-tangy with an unbelievably intense citrus note, bitter to the taste with flavourful notes of coriander and cardamom in the background.

If you really had to think about it, you'd realise that the contents of your home amount to more than just material assets. It's a combination of things you have come to take pride in. With your home being made up of possessions that you have worked exceptionally hard to achieve, what would happen if you had to lose them all? This is where home contents cover comes in, and it's something you can't afford to ignore.
Home contents cover protects your valued assets
As the providers of such cover, we're taking the time to explain a few more reasons why home contents cover is a must.
It doesn't always have to break the bank
These days; there are a variety of home contents policies available. This allows you to choose the policy that best meets your needs and budget. Whilst this is positive, it also means that many sub-standard home contents insurance policies have emerged. Sadly, this leaves a lot of unsuspecting members of the public out of pocket when they need to claim. As much as you get what you pay for, you should always do your research to find the right balance between price and level of cover. By choosing a reputable company and chatting to experienced brokers, you could save yourself the frustration and the unforeseen expenses of unpaid claims.
If you can, choose comprehensive cover
The reality is, you'll only understand the true importance of home contents insurance when you find yourself in a tricky situation. This policy will compensate you for the replacement value of your household contents covered by the address that is stipulated in your policy schedule. This even extends to garden furniture and outdoor items that are damaged by an event that is insured by your policy.
Important things to remember
For starters, always ensure that your policy will pay out the new replacement value of the items you have insured. Also, double check that the entire moveable contents of your home are covered by your schedule. Be sure to include all garage, shed, workshop, or staff quarter contents so that the items found in these areas are not excluded when you need to claim. Your security will also come to impact the monthly premium that you pay, so do ensure that your broker is aware of your current security system that you have in place.
This cover includes the following
A comprehensive policy will pay out for any damage caused by any of the below:
- Fire, lightening, storms, wind, rain, hail, snow, water, earthquake, or explosions
- Overflowing, leaking or bursting of pipes, geysers or heating
- Sudden impact
- Theft, attempted theft, and malicious damage caused by a person other than yourself
Not satisfied with your current home contents insurance?
If your existing policy could be improved, why not give Compendium a call? Our team of experienced brokers can meet with you and discuss your requirements in order to tailor a policy to suit you. If you're interested in finding out what we could offer you, call us today on 087 724 9390.

Rib side tattoo is really hot and popular these days especially with girls as they are opting for a sexy way to express themselves through body art. The side part of the rib cage is definitely an interesting tattoo location as it shows the curvatures and attractive shape of a girl's body. And when it comes to designs, these are the top 5 choices for amazing rib side tattoos.
Endless Flower Collections
A girl can never go wrong with flowers as they are naturally beautiful and form fitting for her body. The language of flowers always speak about what is important to a female's heart and what she believes or wants to express. The most sought after floral designs on the rib side are cherry blossoms, lotus, lily, rose and Hawaiian flowers like orchids, hibiscus and plumeria.
Butterfly Metamorphosis
A butterfly, no matter how common it is will always be on demand because it can never fail to relate to what a girl is going through in her life. Whether it be about change, transformation, freedom and beauty, a butterfly can always transcend this meaning. It can be a single butterfly or it can be groups of them fluttering on the side area of girl's body. With their stunning colors and intricate line details, the butterflies are absolutely a great piece of tat art on the rib cage.
Shining Stars
Star tattoos are very flexible and versatile and they always look interesting. They can definitely make a girl shine especially if they are tattooed on the rib with bright colors like yellow, red, blue and orange. It should be noted too however, that they can look pretty well themselves if they are inked in plain black colors. That is just the magic of star tattoos, no matter how simple they are, they never fail to make a statement of their own.
Lettering/Quote Tattoos that Speak
Lettering tattoos composing of words from quotations, poem, line from a movie or a book maybe or verse from the bible are really the hot items these days in the tattoo world. And the rib cage is certainly topping the list for this kind of tat theme as its an area of the body that is ample enough to accommodate certain lines that are meant mostly to be inspirational and motivational.
Magical Fairies
Fairies are dainty and magical creatures that has always been a part of a girl's childhood memories. They have seen them in fairy tale books and movies where they are portrayed as this beautiful being that grants wishes and makes dreams come true. They can also be expression of a girl's naughty and fun, flirty side who just wants to have fun and be free.

For the past 25 years, Peter Dreher, an artist from Freiburg, Germany, has painted the same 100-year-old, half-liter glass 3200 times. Dreher's method is simple: in either day or night, in either artificial or natural light, he places the glass against a white background and paints what he sees. Dreher has sold 1500 of his glass paintings for $2000 apiece, and collectors have snapped them up, sometimes buying as many as a dozen at a time.
Looking at a series of Dreher's glasses is the visual equivalent of repeating the word "glass," or any word, again and again until it loses all meaning and becomes pure sound. Looking at a dozen or so Dreher glasses, you lose all sense that you are looking at a glass or a representation of glass. You begin to see the work for what it is -- an exercise in pure observation.
Dreher's lonely, deadpan glasses show how an artist observes an object, the way light shapes an object, and how an artist achieves the illusions of reflection and shine. For example, the very "realistic" reflections on and within Dreher's glasses are created with carefully placed dabs and flecks of white paint. Looking closely at one glass, you notice that on its surface Dreher has described the faint reflection of a window, and through it, the sky. Another glass offers a pale reflection of the artist's head.
The light glancing off some of Dreher's glasses is San Diego light that fell through a kitchen window in room 104 in the Beachcomber Shores Apartments on Turquoise Street in Pacific Beach. Since 1993, Mark Quint, owner of Quint Gallery in La Jolla, has annually invited Dreher to San Diego to paint. Dreher has, of course, painted his glass -- rarely a week goes by without his painting it at least once -- and while standing in the small Beachcomber Shores kitchen that serves as his studio, he has also done seascapes of our coast.
"When the sky is gray here in San Diego," he says in precise, lightly accented English, "it's actually quite lovely. The gray here is cheerful.
"It is a very simple color, and I like to paint simple things. Quiet things. Like my glass. My idea is to take the simplest things and paint them as they are."
Dreher's taste for simplicity extends to the Beachcomber Shores room where he stays each year for a month or so. At the Quint Gallery through April 1, Dreher will exhibit an 18-panel, 33-foot-long panoramic oil painting of his Pacific Beach motel room.
"It's not exactly a 360-degree view. Maybe more like 300."
Mark Quint's enthusiasm for Dreher's work is unbounded.
"I love," Quint says, "the compulsiveness of it. The obsession with detail. Looking at his glasses you start to see all sorts of things -- fields and shadings of color that remind you of Rothko. And he's taken his simple motel room and made it stunning."
Dreher's panels -- two high, nine long -- show his room's kitchen, bathroom, (empty) closet, television, hanging lamp, front door, and two windows. Through the latter you see the ficus trees and hibiscus that grow in the Beachcomber's courtyard, and a two-story, white-stucco apartment building, washed in the coast's flat brilliant light, which stands across the street.
"Every day here," says Dreher, "is like paradise."
Born in Mannheim in 1932, he belongs to a generation that came of age in the wasteland of postwar Germany. His father, a dentist, died on the Russian Front in 1941. Dreher's mother, a former dancer, threw Dreher out of the house when he told her he wanted to be an artist.
"Being an artist wasn't considered a very useful thing, back then. The German economy was ruined. When I was accepted into the Fine Arts Academy in Karlsruhe, all the students were very poor. We were all very poor. There wasn't much food. We had to steal to survive -- apples, potatoes, coal. Everybody stole. And everybody worked at some job during school holidays. I worked on the docks at Mannheim. Nobody got money from home, from their families. We had this sense of being a special group, of being apart. And since everyone in Germany was poor then, we didn't have the worry of being a poor artist.
"We were, of course, all Communists. In Europe in the 1950s every intellectual was a Communist. At least that was true in West Germany. In East Germany, however, I'm not sure that every intellectual was a Communist."
He laughs.
"Our teachers were old. They'd been expelled from the academy by the Nazis, who had their own ideas about art. The Nazis wanted to promote propagandistic art -- paintings, you know, that showed the perfect Aryan. The Nazis didn't like German expressionism, and they didn't like social realism. The academy's teachers -- expressionists, social realists -- had a very hard time under the Nazis.
"We students were simply very glad to be studying art. When I was growing up, there wasn't much paper to draw on. You could get scraps of newsprint, and I would practice drawing on that. At the academy, although the German economy was very bad, the government provided us with materials. We even learned to mix our own oil paints, with powdered colors and oil. Our education was very traditional. We concentrated on drawing, still lifes and nudes. During the 1950s our attention was toward Paris, to Picasso, of course. It wasn't until the 1960s that we became interested in American art.
"At the academy, I concentrated on still life. I've always had this preference for painting things that are quiet, that don't move. Painting for me is a kind of meditation. When I'm painting is nearly the only time in my life when I'm content, when I don't feel restless. By restless, I mean a kind of nervousness. When I paint, I suddenly feel at home. Very well and quiet.
"This may have something to do with one of my experiences during the war. My father's house was totally destroyed during the war. When I was 26 I had this experience of trying to build a house for myself. Build a home for myself. And what I found was that you can't establish out of things, out of materials, in a certain place, a home. You have to build your home out of ideas. Ideas are something you can take with you wherever you go. And so I have my ideas about painting, about painting what I really saw. The glasses are an experiment in showing how things change. You paint the same thing, again and again. You use different light, but you paint the same thing. When I started painting the glass, after I did four or five, I began noticing how the paintings were changing. They were changing because I was changing. You cannot avoid changing.
"And so I have my ideas about painting, and that is why when I paint I feel like I'm coming home.
"Painting my room here is like painting the glass. The idea is to take what's nearest you, the simplest and most obvious, and to use it. You look around the room, and you see that it's quite simple, quite small, but you take it and you use it. You observe it carefully and you paint it.
"I think it's really quite beautiful, actually."
