Sorry I've not been very active on here for ages, time just runs away from me it seems (I recorded this this morning and only just posting now at nearly 5pm 🤦‍♀️)

Got to thinking about love languages this morning.

Do you know about love languages?
So the thinking is that there are 5 ways we show love (as shown in the picture). These are also the ways we receive love.

Most people will have one dominant love language, but they won't use this in isolation.

Often, how you show love is how you feel love, but not always. But remember that your spouse/child/friend may feel love differently from how you do.

Some examples below of how these look in practice to others and also TO YOURSELF

Acts of service; do the dishes, make their morning coffee. PLANS, ORGANISATION, CLEANING.

Positive touch; hugs, kisses, gently brushing an arm as you pass. SELF MASSAGE, WEIGHTED/SOFT BLANKETS.

Time; just being together in the same space, shared activities. HOBBIES , MEDITATION.

Gifts; giving bought or found items. ALLOW YOURSELF TO TREAT YOURSELF

Words of affirmation; saying you love them, telling them what you love/like about them. POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS JOURNALING.

Well that's a wrap for this year.
It's been a busy one that's for sure.

1st time ever I've had to start a waiting list, which just seems to keep growing. I am so very grateful for the faith people put in me, and the chance to help many children (I am also very happy and able to work with adults, just none on the books at present)

My shoulder issues have sadly impacted work a little this year, but I do all I can to minimise this impact.

Wishing everyone a good break, and if this time of your is difficult for you do please reach out to myself or someone else; don't suffer alone

I met these guys at the SEND event yesterday (as we were neighbours for the day). They even told me about this song which is so powerful

Such an amazing group, and what a needed group. It is a sad fact that Su***de is the biggest killer in men under 50; we need to change the view that men don't talk.

So what is your score out of 10 today?
Share here, pm me or even just give it a thought.

Sorry for the silence from me recently.

Start of a new school year is always busy, added in my lockdown baby starting reception posting has just got put to one side.

Today is wear yellow for mental health awareness day.... sadly I have been unable to this year as my shoulder is currently hindering me from lots; and wearing T-shirts is one of them and I don't only a yellow shirt or trousers.

How is everyone today?
It's always important to share how you're feeling 💛

A photo from last summer, but a fun one so thought I'd share lol

That's me done for this school year, other than some reports to finish up.

I absolutely love my job and can't thank the children and their adults enough for trusting me to be a part of their journey; it is such a privilege.
It has been sad to say goodbye to many children over this last year but I hope that I will have left a mark on their hearts if nothing else.

I am now getting ready for a summer with my kids, getting my lockdown baby ready for school in September, hopefully welcoming a Dog into our household.

I will post here and there over the summer, especially if we find anything good to do and I am always at the end of message.

My diary is looking pretty full for September but always happy to chat and see what might be possible, so don't hesitate to get in touch
