Suicide Prevention: An Evening of Hope


Wednesday 22nd October 2014

7.15pm
Skylon Hotel
Drumcondra Road Uppr.
Dublin 9

Dare to Live SOS are a group of people who have come together through connecting with each other’s personal experience with Suicide, Self Harm and Eating Disorders. We know what it is like when the option of suicide is staring you in the face, but more importantly, we know how to SURVIVE. Suicide has a cure and that cure is HOPE. We will be providing an evening of HOPE by sharing our personal journeys from every point of view; Sufferers, Carers, Parents, Friends. We will be sharing how we have gotten through our darkest times and found life again. We want to share the HOPE. You too can help yourself or a loved one.

To have HOPE is to have connection. All are welcome to join us in our movement to banish Suicide, Self Harm and Eating Disorders as an option for more of our loved ones.

Together we can all save a Life

Set. Rest. Rise.

Set, rest, rise again.

In this process it transforms, dissolves, descends - its undoing, an art in itself, Built on brushstrokes of goodbye,
The composition illuminates the fiery sky -
A bold farewell to the day.

No concern for what has passed, unencumbered by what may be. The day is settled. The sun's job for now, complete.
Set, rest, rise again.
Its return, is another exquisite piece,
Dictating to darkness that now it must cease Emerging gently, gradually creating its display
A dynamic kaleidoscopic embrace -
Though a repetitive routine, never a repeat
Each new rising unveiling its own expressive feat.
Set, rest, rise again.

Cementing Self Security

It's come to light more and more the insidious hold insecurity has on us as a society these days. Sadly, it's as though it's become normalised to just not feel good about ourselves; we put ourselves down in feigned modesty or 'politeness', we feed into the pursuit of a perfected image, we try to be someone or something we're not, we're more jealous and anxious, lost and unsure.

You can see it everywhere; in the messages we're receiving, the actions we take, the behaviours we engage in.

Many of us just find it impossible to believe or feel that we are actually worthy, deserving or good enough as we are at any given time.

We mightn't even realise how deep it runs either, but it could definitely be affecting our day-to-day in a profoundly negative and sabotaging way.

Personally, I've had enough of seeing the effects of the 'not good enough affliction'. I've had enough of seeing beautiful, lovable people completely oblivious of their worth, …

11 Ways to Enhance Experiences

As you might know, I've spent the last year on a working holiday in New Zealand (hence the lack of posts and load of instagrams 😁) . For 8 months of that, I've had the pleasure of living and working in the 8th Wonder of the World, Milford Sound.

This has hands down been one of the most amazing experiences I've gotten to enjoy; being immersed daily in this stunning place with amazing people and countless new experiences and adventures. I honestly couldn't have asked for more from it (not even better functioning internet or mobile signal!)

As with any new experience, particularly for the sensitive souls like myself, it has definitely come with new learnings, the occasional challenge and some acclimatising, but ultimately these all just came together to give a wealth of thorough enjoyment.

New environments and new experiences can bring different things depending on our mindset, perspective and attitude at the time. If we're showing up to these for example with a self we…
