Gifted to me on stunning evening walk with a sense of comfort that the world always carries on.
Birthday boy shattered after presents, sausage, cake and an evening walk with a rainbow and Gwen.
So there I was happily eating breakfast, scrolling through social media, and there it was something that cut to the very heart of me. This time it was another news article about something horrific happening in my local area. I absolutely understand that you are sharing because you have been shocked or you feel the need to warn others, the challenge is that you don’t know how it will affect others. Yes I could unfriend or unfollow you and in the past when it has been almost constant I have taken that action, but sometimes it is someone you don’t want to stop following. So my plea today please think before you share. If you really want to warn someone or tell them consider speaking to them and then you can at least judge how they feel and support them. If people want to read the news or find out the local gossip trust that they can find it themselves. You don’t need to share every tragedy. #mentalhealth #triggersnob #awareness #think
I know there is lots of mixed advice out there about how you should and should not respond to someone struggling with their mental health. In my opinion if you care about someone and act kindly you can’t go far wrong what ever your reply is.

Hey guys next podcast is out. As always my podcasts might touch on things which are upsetting, so only listen if you are feeling well and want too. Of course the aim is they are also inspiring and empowering too so take what you will. This week talking about how much our experience of life is what happens to us and how much is how we respond. And the power of being able to change this.
