A week today we'll be tackling the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in honour of our brother Mick Keryk who lost his battle with cancer year before last. It's a challenging 25 mile route that takes in 3 mountains, but Mick loved a good walk and was proud of completing this in a decent time so that's why we honour him in this way. All donations go towards the work we do in our local community. Thanks for all your support.

Talk Ourselves Well provide nature based su***de prevention sessions to give men an opportunity to talk about their various life challenges

Earlier when the rain was hammering down and I was out walking I jumped in several Puddles like a 5 year old would n then did a break fall on some nearby grass, although I may have looked like a madman it made me happy 😁🙏😁

Often when we are adults we forget the simple joys of jumping in a puddle like we did when we were kids. As we become adults we become self conscious of our playful behaviours for fear of judgement or looking like a d*ck, who cares? Do it anyway! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The end.

About today... And About Tonight 💛🧡💛

Today .h.mentalhealth created a flash mob to raise awareness of the Orange Button Scheme 🟠

The 🟠 Button is a suicid£ intervention and prevention course which people can access to assist being able to facilitate save conversation and Intervention around someone making a permanent decision on their lives 💯💛

After the flash mob I decided to go n chill at one of my all time fave places, the Zen Palace, whilst I was there I completed a 1 man Balsam Bash n generally took in the sights, smells, touch, feel and sounds of being connected to the natural world 🌿☀️🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛🌿💛

Nature isn't just about chillin, it's about connecting and being at one with it, in doing so it provides the opportunity to be at one with Ourselves too

You'll always get more answers being outside and connecting with the world rather than sitting in n smashing ya head to bits 😍🙏😍

Tonight a few of us are heading to the Marcus Intalex Book Launch in his home town of Burnley 💯🙏

People know Soulution was my church, my spiritual home, my sanctuary so looking forward to seeing some heads and vibin to the music and having a reminisce about one of THE greatest DJ'S ever to spin tunes and all round straight up talker top bloke

Rest In Eternal Birdies and Peace Brother 💔❤️💔❤️💔

For FIGS Sake...

Yesterday I attended the Witton Greenhouses Project in supporting a participant and then went on a walk after work because it was much needed 🌿☀️

Stopped off for a grounding session and reconnecting with the earth. I've been in a fair dark place recently and didn't realise till Monday that depression had done a sly job on ambushing me, the trigger Micks Birthday...

Early June, stopped training, citing I needed a break as have been training for 5 months solid, looking back I need to be more aware of triggers and maintaining exercise, as always it's a work in progress!

Did you know that Figs can grow in Blackburn? Well they do and it was well tasty!

Took a few other pics to whilst out on me travels ❤️✌️

Untangle the Tangled...

I wrote this 5 years ago today after being on Haverigg Beach with Mel ❤️

I came across this tangled rope and it got me thinking

Through years of being on the beach or floating in the sea., this rope has come together as one

Some people will see a tangled mess of rope, others will see the challenge of untangling the rope to create a new piece of rope, some will seek to create something new from all the tangled rope. We can liken this to our own mental health challenges and experiences.

When we start on the journey to untanglement, it can be daunting, challenging, frustrating and time consuming.
It requires patience, belief and a plan on how to make the tangled untangled.

If we take the time to unravel every individual piece of rope shown here, we can create something new from the tangled scene we see here. Once we have taken the time to untangle the rope, we can then build a vision of how we will work with the new rope presented to us.
We can do this in regard to our mental health.

Mental health comes in all different sizes, different colours, everyone's journey is different, some have the ability to untangle their own challenges and experiences, some require support to help them untangle the tangled.

What matters is that we start the journey by starting with one strand and work towards unravelling the challenges and experiences to create a new improved version of ourselves.

Keep the faith people ❤️✌️
