Our perceptions & realities

Date 18 August 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
Our perceptions are our reality, which become our stories. As we go about our daily lives, we all get caught up in our own stories. Most of us will come to believe over time that we are our stories, that we created those stories, but when we stop convincing ourselves…

It's easy to judge

Date 6 August 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It doesn’t matter whether we’re ordinary, or we live in the public domain, it’s still the easiest thing in the world for us to comment or pass judgment on another person’s life and circumstances. But unless our life is perfect, I’m not sure any of us are really in a…

Bad times

Date 5 August 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I usually don’t run away from bad times, bad weeks, or live in denial when those bad times happen. I usually try to find a level of understanding and an acceptance. I also know that as the bad times come, in time they will move on and I will move…

Standing in judgment

Date 3 August 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s wrong to stand in judgment. There will be things people do that on the face of it, clearly isn’t appropriate behaviour but that will be for them to deal with, not for us to make a judgment over. When we make a judgement we’re not looking at what others…

One size fits all

Date 2 August 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s a shame scenarios don't come in one size fits all. The picture that presents itself to one person, doesn’t present itself in the same way to another. Of course, I understand, particularly as we perceive things differently, but how much easier would our lives would be if we were…

Believing things will happen

Date 30 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
We will spend a lifetime talking ourselves into things, exaggerating those thoughts and believing it will happen. Sound familiar? It’s something I used to do as a child around illness. The hard part is learning how to turn negative patterns into patterns that break our negative thinking. We emulate negativity…

My lessons & experiences

Date 22 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
Looking back on my life if I had my time again, I would keep my lessons and change my experiences. I am sure about that. I have heard it said many times that we choose the life we come into. I would have chosen different experiences to the ones I…

Yesterday

Date 19 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
Yesterday was an odd kind of day. A lot has changed recently, far too quickly than I would have liked. I was very tired with no particular thoughts in mind. Come to think of it, since Daniel made a decision to move to London, the last three weeks has been…

A new chapter

Date 17 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
When I look back over the last few weeks, I am reminded of how difficult those weeks have been at times, but I have also been reminded of why those things happened in the way they did in those weeks. Life’s a bit like that. Although I knew it would…

My latest challenge

Date 12 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
I am beginning to see how much of a challenge my Cerebral Palsy has become, is becoming. I’m not sure when I go for walks how long I walk for, but on a neurological level, I know it’s taking me a lot longer to recover. Where someone without Cerebral Palsy…

It was never intentioned

Date 10 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
When my life began to unfold in front of me as a small child, I was consciously aware that my experiences were far from positive. I also realised and needed to understand, but thought I may never come to understand what exactly I had been dealing with. If you were…

Date 9 July 2014
Author Ilana Estelle
It is said that if you ask a college graduate who is the greatest generation, they may respond by suggesting themselves.
