'Ello from England

Hi everyone. I'm currently on a train on the way home from work (it's 6pm here) and sadly I don't see the wifi being good enough for me to attend the introductory call. But I should be able to make all the rest, which I am very grateful for!

This year is the first year I've made a vision board for myself, and the word I put in the middle was 'Invest'. This year is all about me investing in myself, in many different ways. I've been getting swimming lessons (and doing a lot of wild swimming as a result), I've picked the violin up after many years, I've been creating content on tiktok, I've been reading more and journaling my little heart out. And when I've come across items that I believe will bring value into my life, I have given myself permission to buy them and not fret about it. All of this has been transformative.

Every month I give myself a different 'word of the month' to give myself an area of focus. This month the word is 'heal', as I am transitioning out of a period of time which was very challenging for me. Two days ago I wrote "I give myself permission to feel good" on a little slip of paper and burned it in my beautiful abalone shell.

This morning I happened upon Chris's tiktok about this community. Chris is one of the very few people on my list of people I follow, and with only one our left to sign up, I thought 'I probably can't afford it, but I'll check it out anyway'

I was so delighted that I did so, and discovered that the price was accessible for me. I've been holding out for a course to come along which would be an investment (the word of the year is 'invest' after all!) but wouldn't be detrimental to my income, which is not large right now. I am so lucky that this one landed in my lap today, just at the perfect time.

When good things come my way I tend to thank the bees (Perhaps I'll make a post another time explaining why it's the bees!) and I have been very grateful to the bees today for bringing me this.
