Currently sat on a Boeing 777 at Manchester Airport for over two hours with a technical fault and the Engineer has decided to switch the aircraft off and start it up again. I’m no engineer but I could have told them that over two hours ago 🤣

I was fired today. Well, laid off. "Budget cuts," my boss said. I packed my box. I was terrified. I have a mortgage. As I walked to the elevator, the CEO—the big boss who never talks to anyone—stepped in with me. "You're Sarah, right?" he asked. "Yes sir." "You stayed late last month to help the interns fix that presentation. You didn't ask for overtime." I nodded, surprised he knew. "I can't stop the layoffs," he said. "Board's decision. But I made a phone call." The elevator dinged. He handed me a card. "My friend runs a firm across town. He's expecting your call at 9 AM tomorrow. He needs a manager who cares about people. The pay is 20% higher." I stared at him. "Why?" "Because you held the door for the cleaning lady every single morning," he said. "I notice things."

Crazy how peaceful life becomes when you raise your emotional intelligence, see toxic people's patterns clearly, stop reacting to their low-vibe moves, and realize that their behavior stems from their own internal dysfunctions, past experiences, and pain, rather than from you.

I’m reading “The Body Keeps the Score” & maybe this was obvious to everyone else but, a warning: it’s really triggering. good & important, but very hard to get through if trauma is living in you, too.

When I was a naive 20-year old I met a serial killer who talked me up at a mall. He walked me to my car and abruptly got in my car. I stayed calm and talked to him and something prompted me to say my last name. He looked shocked and asked me to prove it. I showed him my license and he quickly jumped out of the car. A few days later he was shot dead in upstate NY by the FBI or police. I knew it was him when I read an article in People and only one other girl escaped and he said the same specific things to her as he said to me and I recognized his picture. I recently after 40 years put his details in Grok and found out his father’s last name matched mine. I think that affected him and he jumped out and that saved my life. There is currently a documentary on him on Hulu, the Beauty Queen Killer. I can’t bear to watch it and I thank God that he saved my life.

What improved your quality of life so much you wish you did it sooner?

NHS Consultant Neurologist writes to GP relating to patient X "FND is thought to be mostly psychological in nature so no particular action is needed apart from reassurance and psychological support". Neurologists must stop denying people with Functional Neurological Disorder.
