"Work a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life".

I disagree with this massively based on my last year of self employment.

My passion eventually became a big pressure. And my goals became misaligned.

Its so important to be in a job, whether your employed, self employed, volunteeting etc, that you love but only enough to leave it at the office, and pick up the next day.

Let your hobbies and passions intertwine, but be mindful if it becomes the whole focus of the work youre doing.

Ive been stuck at a crossroads....

The obstructions of illness and burnout have been preventing me from navigating the crossroads effectively.

Its feeling easier now.

Watch this space—things are happening behind the scenes!!!!

The character has a worried expression, with one hand on their head. A signpost stands next to the character, featuring three different colored arrows pointing down three separate dirt paths that branch out from the main road. The arrows are yellow, blue, and red. The background is a vibrant green with short black lines representing grass. The bottom right corner has a copyright and website address: "© IAN LONG + PIP WILSON 2013 www.blobstree.com".

Family time is the best time.🫂

Especially when sharing common interests of art and creativity.

🎨Why art is an essential for my wellbeing:

•It helps me to express the things I struggle to say

•It keeps my mind occupied from stress and channels it to be released in a healthy way

•It helps me to process things that have happened and raises awareness for adverse experiences

•Its a tool to show people like me that they arent alone

Would you like a space where you can do this?

Give me a call, WhatsApp message or an email.

Wishing everyone celebrating a very happy Diwali.

Today, communities across Avon and Somerset and beyond are marking the Festival of Lights, a time to celebrate hope, renewal and the triumph of light over darkness.

Diwali reminds us of the power of kindness, togetherness, and understanding, values that strengthen our communities and help build a safer, fairer society for all.

To everyone celebrating, may your homes be filled with light, love and happiness.

I recommend Ellie Middletons' book "Unmasked."

I am listening to chapter 3 as I am writing this post, and it's all about translating autistic traits.

This makes me feel so seen, heard, and valued🫂

This link will take you straight to the audio book on audible, where she reads it out in her own voice. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0C8B6XZ36?source_code=ORGOR69210072400FU

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Brought to you by Penguin. Whether you are neurodivergent, suspect you might be, or want to be a better ally, UNMASKED will help you make sense of it all, and put the power in your hands. Ellie was 24 when she learned she wasn't broken. She wasn't a bad .....
