19.01.2022 I love this quote shared by the indigo project

19.01.2022 this ... For our little ones who are finding this so hard to understand The Time We Spring-Cleaned the World The world it got so busy,... There were people all around. They left their germs behind them; In the air and on the ground. These germs grew bigger and stronger. They wanted to come and stay. They didnt want to hurt anyone - They just really wanted to play. Sometimes they tried to hold your hand, Or tickled your throat or your nose. They could make you cough and sneeze And make your face as red as a rose. And so these germs took over. They started to make people ill, And with every cough we coughed More and more germs would spill. All the queens and kings had a meeting. Its time to clean the world up! they said. And so they had to close lots of fun stuff, Just so these germs couldnt spread. We couldnt go to cinemas Or restaurants for our tea. There was no football or parties, The world got as quiet as can be. The kids stopped going to school, The mums and dads went to work less. Then a great, big, giant scrubbing brush Cleaned the sky and the sea and the mess! Dads started teaching the sums, Big brothers played with us more, Mums were in charge of homework And we read and played jigsaws galore! The whole world was washing their hands And building super toilet roll forts! Outside was quiet and peaceful, Now home was the place for all sports. So we played in the world that was home And our days filled up with fun and love, And the germs they grew smaller and smaller And the sun watched from up above. Then one morning the sun woke up early, She smiled and stretched her beams wide. The world had been fully spring cleaned, It was time to go back outside! We opened our doors oh so slowly And breathed in the clean and fresh air. We promised that forever and always Of this beautiful world wed take care!

06.01.2022 Life is precious Through my work this week- I have been reminded more than ever before to hold on to what is precious. Love it with all your heart in the present moment. We dont know what will happen tomorrow. We cant predict the future. Dont live for your next holiday or for anything in the future. Live now and love now. Give your children more kisses and cuddles . Tell them you love them. Show it to them. Spend more time with them. Put down your phone sometimes. Play with your children outside. Teach them a game. Read them a story. Spend time with your partner, your parents, your siblings and close friends. Practice gratitude. Live Big & Love Large. Be present

06.01.2022 Social distancing can take a toll on mental health, especially for those who live alone. These research-based ideas can help ward off loneliness even during isolation.

04.01.2022 Wishing everyone: December is the time to say thank you to someone as special as you. ... You made a difference in my life every month of this year with your messages, love and caring!

02.01.2022 Life without Phone Yesterday I needed to take a train into the city for a specialist dental appointment. My mobile phone battery has been very unhappy the last few weeks and needing charging throughout the day. Its definitely time for a replacement battery or a new mobile phone. Yesterday while on the train, my phone battery died. I had no where to charge it until I arrived home. Initially I felt quite strange. I was on a train, with no phone. Im not used to being without... it. Without what? Without this communication tool, this lifeline, this vehicle we use to distract ourselves for many moments of our day. Without the ability to check messages, voicemail, whats app, Instagram, face book, the internet. Reluctantly I put my blank screened friend into my handbag and slowly looked up around the train carriage. Everyone had their face glued to the their phone. Not one commuter was talking to another, no one was reading a book or the newspaper (remember those days) looking out the window, daydreaming or doing anything else. My train approached Martin Place, my stop. I panicked slightly. I knew I would not be able to use my Maps App to find where I was headed. I disembarked the train and found my way to the street and managed to find my way to my dentist practice based on memory and recognition of the area from my last couple of visits. Mission accomplished. I panicked slightly at the thought of the waiting room without my normal screen companion . Instead I flicked through a great magazine and remembered my love for print media. Throughout the rest of my phone less afternoon I learnt much: I knew my 5 year old son was safe with his grandmother and I wasnt working so I wasnt too worried about not being contactable; I was more aware of my surroundings - I spotted a family friend on the street and chatted to him for 5 minutes. On the train platform back to the eastern suburbs again I noticed how everyone was locked into the own world between them and their device - glued, transfixed by the screen. Almost oblivious to their outside surroundings. On the way home, I realised I could not call anyone for a lift home , so I decided to walk. I couldnt do the usual telephone phone call catch up with friends while I walked so I daydreamed, picked flowers to give to my son and breathed in the fresh air on a sunny afternoon. Being phone less for the afternoon was a blessing instead of a disaster. Unplugging is healthy and my forced phone sabbatical taught me a lot about what weve become reliant on. It was a window into life pre phone and something I need to do more of. I found the ability to connect with my surroundings when my connection tool was unavailable.
