Hurrah Happy Friday to all.
Some virtual flowers for and a shout out to acknowledge the amazing job of carers worldwide on World Carers Day.
No one really knows what goes on underneath the masks we all sometimes wear when we feel vulnerable for whatever cause and what it might bring up for us.
Feeling vulnerable is a core emotion that makes us feel exposed and under threat. It is a very conflicting space to be in and one where honesty, compassion and care are vital.
For too long we have been told to fake it till you make it, for too long we have been told to just get over it, for too long essential services have been compromised. For too long people have been shamed for their vulnerabilities, considered weak and left out in the cold.
Allowing yourself to be vulnerable is the bravest, most authentic thing you can do. It is not weakness it is courage. It is the source of connection and more often than not we need a little (or a lot) of extra support in times like this and to feel protected.
So for those carers who dedicate their lives to helping others in less fortunate circumstances I salute you. I salute you for your kindness, compassion and care. Your presence and work is invaluable. Thankyou x
