My Name Is Why

Product Information

When someone calls your name, you can't help but turn and look and sees who's there. This is the reason why spiritual beings would use your name to call you too. Searing … Unputdownable … My Name Is Why is authentic and beautiful, a potential game-changer in public attitudes to children raised in care. It’s about bureaucratic cruelty and what happens when love is absent. Don’t miss it” Perhaps you notice an incredible light. Tune into that. That's often how angels often appear within your mind's eye. Higher spiritual beings will alert you to their presence when you begin to look for it. Their energetic signature is that of light, high frequency, calm presence, and incredible love. In 1967, a young Ethiopian woman who was studying in England gave birth to a baby. Not long after, she returned to her native country alone.

Unfortunately, this was quite a tedious read. I really did not like the way Sissay decided to format the book, with most of the narrative being told in social work/government entries, with little-to-no exposition made on Sissay's part; almost like inserting a quote in an essay and that being the sentence, with no analysis.Lemn Sissay is performing My Name is Why at FORWARDS Festival, Bristol on 3 September ( forwardsbristol.co.uk) She said she was at the end of her tether with Norman and felt she and her husband had given him so much, which Norman just seemed to resent. She said she had given him all she could and could do no more, and he would have to be taken somewhere where they could get to the bottom of his ‘anti’- feelings. Your auditory memory can replay the sound of someone's voice saying hello, or calling your name in a way that's so vivid you actually think for a moment that they're there!

Even at this distance, it is difficult to ascertain exactly what was happening within the Greenwood household. What is clear, is that Sissay was unsettling his parents with his vigorous exploration of life, which pushed the boundaries of their staid religiosity. Inevitably, it would be Sissay that lost out: If you've had a job in the UK that involves frontline work with people in poverty; if, over the years, you've read quite a few long Guardian reports about problems with the British system for children in care, or about adoption and race, you may feel, as I did, like you've heard a lot of this before.

In 2015, Sissay became the patron of ALL FM 96.9 Community Radio in Manchester, and he said: "I've always loved All Fm, partly because it's such diverse radio (with shows in Urdu, Polish, Somali, Persian, Cantonese and more), but also because it played 'Architecture' (Bertallot & Mo-Dus Remix), which I'd lost and the All Fm DJ sent me a copy." Sissay's poems are read frequently on All Fm and one of its older presenters, Li, aged 84, translated and read his poem "Invisible Kisses" in Mandarin and English. She said: "I love his poetry because it is so moving and not skin-deep." [ citation needed] I do... to this day, think that success is being able to look in the mirror and know that I'm alright on that day. I don't believe I've made it–I believe that I'm making it. I believe that I've found my past so that I can live in the present, it's the most important thing to me. The books and the plays and the touring and the gigs and the speeches and the cash...it all pales into insignificance when compared with knowing that I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm going to be okay now." Even if hearing your name was just an auditory memory response, that physiological response comes to you in the exact same way your guides and angels can use to communicate with you. So you can take it as a sign that you indeed have the ability to hear the messages of spirit, it just takes opening and developing this subtle psychic sense. There are many reasons why you may be hearing your name being called…Keep reading to find out why this is happening! I still feel cheated by my experience growing up. Put into care, taken out of care, having my name changed. It endures. Marriages, births… Now I’m in my 50s, deaths and illnesses. All these times when people come around you… For me they haven’t. It’s a constant reminder of what other people did to me.

I'm not going to suggest that the journey is to find yourself is easy—in many ways to go on that journey is the gift of life. So while it may be frustrating, it's actually a gift. That you, at quite an early age, can start to realize what the real priorities in life are: family, friendship, who you are, kindness to others, kindness to yourself. But I'll say this and it's really important, Harry Potter was a foster child. Superman was adopted. Moses—if you're religious—was adopted. You could say that Jesus had two fathers. The idea of the nuclear perfect family is a fallacy.
