On (Un)Masking
This is a topic I have been thinking about a lot over the past year or so. A topic I wanted to write about for a while. Yet it is also a topic that – despite all the reading, research and contemplation I have done – still seems to be hazy for me. Am I…

Misericordias Domini (2nd Sunday After Easter) ~ 14th April 2024
The following sermon was not an easy one for me to write, and I’m still not sure how much I like it or how happy I am with it. But I got a fair bit of positive feedback from women from both congregations where I preached this past Sunday. One thing in particular stuck with…

Healing F***ing Hurts Sometimes
Form the moment I heard BLÜ EYES’s song “healing hurts” for the first time it resonated with me. A lot actually. But at first not because of how therapy and my healing journey felt like when I initially came across that song. When I heard that song first I was in a pretty decent place…

When it rains, it pours
[TW: suicidality, self-harm] At least, that’s what it feels like at the moment. But I don’t want to be all whiney about how difficult my life is. I don’t think anyone would want to hear that. But what I do want to talk about is this week and today in particular. This week is just…

Sermon – Last Sunday After Epiphany 2024
I don’t know about you, but these days I feel as if there is a heaviness weighing on everything and everyone. Two young people violently lost their lives these past few days. The press conference about the “ForuM-Studie” on Thursday. The neverending images of war, violence, and death in Gaza, the Ukraine, the Sudan, and…

Ich weiß nicht, wie es Ihnen und euch geht, aber ich habe dieser Tage das Gefühle, dass eine große Schwere auf allem und auf uns allen lastet. Zwei junge Menschen haben in den vergangenen Tagen gewaltsam ihr Leben verloren. Die Pressekonferenz zur ForuM-Studie am Donnerstag. Die endlosen Bilder von Krieg, Gewalt und Tod aus Gaza,…

When Hope Seems Lost…
It’s Friday night and I am sitting here on my couch in the comfort and safety of my four walls. It feels like the weight of the world is resting in my shoulders. 2024 is barely a month old. Yet so much has already happened. More than I can keep track of. The war in…

Autism Assessment Part 5 – My Diagnostic Interview
As I’m writing this post it’s been tow days since my diagnostic interview. Two days since I’ve been formally diagnosed AuDHD. I wish I could say how I’m feeling, but have no idea to be honest. Right after the assessment I was crying and feeling overwhelmed. Yet even then I couldn’t say what I was…

Autism Assessment Part 4 – Preparing For The Diagnostic Interview
Last week, I got an email from Embrace Autism, where I was offered an earlier appointment than the one I had booked a few months ago. Originally my diagnostic interview would have been next February, but now it’ll be on December 7th. So, just a little less than four weeks from today. At first, I…

Living With Chronic Pain
Once again it’s been longer than I like since I last had the time, energy and bandwidth to write a post. And if I’m honest, I don’t really have either of it at the moment, but I’m desperately trying everything I can to distract myself from the pain I’m in. That said, no promises that…
