Rules, Rhymes, Recovery, Recipe, Random: Glad About Life

By Maggie Baker

This book brings together a series of blog posts published between March 2020 and September 2024, on the WordPress site: https: //www.gladabout.life/.

It reflects different aspects of experience and interests, about and around mental health recovery, from a personal perspective.

'Rules' came originally from a set of 'self-management rules', devised largely to reflect on some very negative experiences of being managed by others. These were later developed into 'Poetry Rules', where the poems relate to the essence of the Rule.

'Rhymes' are poems, even though not all the poems rhyme.

'Recovery' pieces reflect on different approaches and factors that influence mental health and wellbeing, including barriers to recovery.

'Recipe' is largely focused on one dish, but it's an important one: Leftovers Soup.

'Random' - is anything that didn't quite fit in to the other categories but, as such, needed to be included anyway.
