Hey there @Doldip15 🙂🌺

Apologies for the delay.. 🙂

Yes indeed, I think challenging the existing biases and stigmas is our right, in a way, because nobody should be systemically repressed because of inaccurate perceptions of who they are 🙂🌺

It’s wonderful to read your comments, and see the determination within! ☺️💜

However in those moments where you aren’t feeling yourself because of interactions, just remember you are a part of a place where people care about who you are here on the forums 🙌🏻☺️

Thanks so much for your thoughtful words, too.. I really appreciate it very much 🤗🌺💜

Thanks so much for sharing 🌺🙂

Good morning to all! I spent some time last night working on cards I make for a little creativity and came across 2 quotes I like to put inside cards sometimes that might say something to this conversation because they say something to my life I guess- it’s why I chose them

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart”. Confucius 

“Be the reason someone smiles today” Anon

I realised these are principles I have tried to carry forward but at times am so overwhelmed by grief, depression and just sadness at the progression of my life path that I lose the one emotion that has seen me through since early childhood- a sense of hope for the future! 
We’ll Art class starts in just over a week- maybe I’ll meet someone who isn’t too socially distant to want to know this misfit! Maybe I’ll find some companionship in this town other than support workers (Support?). I even bought some cream in case I get to invite someone for morning tea!! Ex work colleague phoned and said she may visit up this way! Wish I could walk as I once did! Such an effort for such a small trip now! But would be nice to have a visitor for a short while! 
Probably appreciate you all more now! 
Have a great day somehow!

Hope someone kind to you! The principles that carried me through my working life from 17 to 70 and I was never insulted or abused! Kindness and Respect! Why can’t I meet people with the same attitude in the system I worked in for so long! I long desperately for a simple act of kindness sometimes! I’m going to stop now before I sink into tears instead! Kindness to you all!

Hey there @Lila3 💜🌺☺️

what a post…! The thunderclap of change can come suddenly, and I am so very happy for you that something is shifting in a big way - this is huge 🙌🏻🤗🌺

my apologies I didn’t see this till now - I was just taking a moment or two to adjust to some health changes 🙂 however to read your post brought back a similar sense I had once, when I was reading personal stories of resilience through hardship, and I felt that connection to those people turning their pain into purpose for their own recovery and sharing their resilience with others 🙂.. I also wanted to feel like I was moving beyond the stagnation and paralysis of pain and into action ☺️🌺

I hope you have more moments just like this one! 💜🌺🤗🙌🏻

Hello @TAB @MDT @Former-Member @Lila3 @StuF @Oaktree @Dimity how are you all? I may go off and take a healing shower today.  I know showers are cleansing but I'm putting some eucalypt branches tied above the shower rose so they can absorb steam and disperse their smell and put a few drops of essential oil on the shower floor with a huge cluster of amethyst in the corner of the shower as I don't have spirit quartz. I can usually smell sap rising in my garden on certain days with my native indigenous trees so it may be a good experiment. Its a good idea if you can't have a bath but still want a rejuvenative kind of feeling you normally get with a bath. Got to find some nice relaxing music to put on while having a shower this morning. Interesting to try we'll see how I go!
