What’s on my mind? You are. All you friends in lock down and isolation. All you friends in risk categories or who have people close to you in those categories.
When we travelled so many of you shared such a huge concern for Australia suffering through the bushfires, and now our eyes have turned to you.
If only we could knit a jumper for your koalas and that would show we care!
But from the stories you share the struggle is not about physical lack it’s emotional, mood, boredom, hopelessness, uncertainty, lack of routine and social isolation.
My friends how can we help you?
Obviously we pray.
What else can we do?
Follow the advice of our health warnings, at the very least to honour your situation.
What else?
Help our neighbours since we cannot physically help you.
But in this online age, surely there is something we can do to add to the constructiveness, creativity, connection and community.
So this is what I can do. I can make things and share them online. I can write stories, I can read, I can make a video about my everyday life, I can draw colouring in pictures for kids or adults to print at home, so…
Friends, tell me what you think would encourage you and let me know.
We are with you. Xxxx
PS. I am working hard on making some things available to you, stay tuned!
