After heading to a music festival last week we were chatting in the car about hard times and how we got through the loss, heartbreak and difficulties in our lives. We all worked in the helping industry so we agreed on the importance of supportive friends and work buddies, family, exercise, good food, sleep. 😴 I was ruminating on these things the next day swimming my laps. I realised that no matter what else I did to support myself I couldn't have done it without music. For me, it's always been music. Soothing heartbreak, easing anxiety, processing sadness and motivating me to move, exercise, keep going, pushing through life, lulling me to sleep or lifting me into joy and celebration. I'm grateful for musicians, for artists, for writers every day. 💕 I am also guilty of repeating songs obsessively. Now I know I'm changing my neurochemistry. ⬇️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRNE_vzjuyh/?igsh=MWNxbmllOW80

When my children were little I would read a story at night then tell a makeup story. The made up story was usually about naughty children who didn't clean their rooms being swallowed up by a swamp monster but sometimes they were fantasy stories disguising my daily adventures at work as a maketing manager. Keep up the story telling! The more realistic the better it seems. ☺️https://www.instagram.com/p/DQKdOZjggnq/?img_index=2&igsh=MTE2ZHF5YWFnajhsZg==
