🚨 Gun Violence Strikes Again: Another Life Lost


I just posted what I suspect will be a reasonably controversial post in a sea of controversial posts over the last few days. Yeah, it's about Charlie Kirk. No, I'm not celebrating his death - that's mainly cos he wasn't a forceful enough power in my life for that.

I don't think it's a bad thing he's dead though. Especially by a fellow right wing Republican...

I hope this leads to a better kind of talking in the US. I've seen the tweets. I've read the rhetoric. I've sullied my brain by watching some "debates" this man had with various kids.

Nothing I've seen has told me he was a force for good in this world. He wasn't debating. He was browbeating and forcing his ideas and thoughts through.

And I sincerely hope his children get to escape the horrible, rigid spirituality he espoused.

Worst of all? I don't think he really believed most of the rubbish he was spouting. He just saw a way to make money and gain fame and notoriety through his work. And get close to power.

I feel very, very sorry for his children. I hope his daughter, in particular, grows up in a different America to the one her father envisaged, because his America will destroy her.

I'm going to try and clean my brain now, because this was an bloody awful morning. I had to write something. Because Brigid took an interest - or rather. she insisted I took an interest. But I feel dirty now.

Thankfully, I don't consider myself a full Christian any more, cos "turning the other cheek" to someone like that is beyond me.

Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge

I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.

For those of you who link to Instagram or the blog before checking email, you'll already know I'm wearing one of my new favourite t-shirts today. If you don't do that however, here's you're warning that my annual mission to bring joy and happiness to my colleagues through passive-aggressive t-shirts and outfits befitting the season has begun. Yes, this is the t-shirt. I keep telling my senior management it's to help with morale. Mainly mine, but really, if I'm happy, it means fewer people are...

I know, another extra email. But many of you were interested in my menopause journey last time, so I thought ye might have an interested in yesterday's nurse visit. Yesterday was my second visit to the nurse at the menopause clinic in my gp's practice. This was with a nurse practitioner - for those who don't know this is a nurse who has undergone extra training and qualifications to be allowed to prescribe some medicines. Again a thoroughly positive experience. Some key highlights: Everything...

Yes I know how ridiculous that sounds! But if you read today's blog post you'll know why I put it that way. I'm gonna be honest - I'm struggling today. Work is hassly. Nothing serious, but you know when you get to the end of the day and there's just nothing you can put your finger on that's done? Yeah. One of those. Plus I cam in early purely to get two specific tasks done and because of some other stuff, it didn't get done. Neither task. So, it's at times like this I turn to Brigid asking...
