Hi pals, Faye here! It’s been a long time since I’ve popped anything up on Instagram or Facebook, so thought I’d nip back in to say hello and give a quick update.
After scaling BearHugs right back to basics a while ago to better look after myself, earlier this year I was lucky enough to have my daughter, Maya Rose, arrive.
She is magic. Jared and I absolutely love her and think she’s the best.
I always found it difficult to stay on top of social media while managing my energy levels, BearHugs, and life in general. Withdrawing for a while has definitely given me one less thing to worry about feeling behind on!
Now, with little Maya in the house, it feels less likely than ever that I’ll be totally on top of it and so I just wanted to give a quick update on why I haven’t been on here and why you may see me popping in and out rather than showing up every day.
There’s so many of you I used to speak to regularly that, as I’ve pulled away from social media, I really miss getting to hear from. If anyone I’ve not spoken to in a while wants to catch up, my email inbox is still always open - I just can’t promise I’ll be that quick to reply!
As for BearHugs, the website is still up and running and I’m still sending out hugs. It’s a smaller, simpler version in a lot of ways at the moment but the same amount of care goes into every hug sent and I’m still taking Hug Nominations for people affected by chronic illness. Now there’s just an extra little pair of hands next to me while I’m working.
Sending lots of love always 🤍
