The Journey Begins

Thank you so much for joining me!

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter

I took this selfie a few years ago when I realised that no-one was attending my class that day; so I sent it to my hubby with the line “Billy No Mates” and a sad emoji 😢. Today this photo jumped out at me and I realised that so many of us are sitting alone in an empty room. We’re smiling on the outside but on the inside we’re crying out for warmth, love and the need for someone to say that they see us and truly care. As an introverted extrovert, I’m a self -professed isolator who, like a rabbit (metaphorically) hops out into the field to play but whenever anyone comes near me (too close), then I scurry back down my rabbit hole; so self isolating hasn’t been that tough on me. Until today when I realised that even I am missing being able to just drop round and see those that I love. No man (or woman) is an island and we were not created to be alone. Yes we have different personality types and we need to accept that about ourselves, but we were created to connect and to give and receive love & kindness.

Today I also realised that it’s really not about ME and how I’m doing, It’s about YOU and how YOU’RE doing. So I’ve decided to start a new Well-being blog and it’s about me caring for YOU. It’s about having a weekly boost of some kind that will hopefully support you to travel the rest of the week with a refreshed perspective. It’s about well-being so it will have lots of little nuggets of wisdom and insights to support you mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. So, you’ll never know from one week to the next what you might read. One week may resonate with you more than another and that’s ok, I just want to support you, especially through these current difficult times. So, for now, know that YOU are loved! Know that YOU are seen! Know that YOU are cared for!

Even if you’re sat in a room, all alone today! Love and blessings, Sam ❤ xx
