Some things I could do:
- Listen...if you're feeling down and don't want to be alone, email me. I'm not a counsellor, and if you're feeling suicidal, you need to go to the dr or your emergency services and get help in the real world, but I can listen, and I am a real person who cares. If you want me to post your email to get support from my followers, tell me. If not, I'll keep it private.
- Someone to bounce ideas off...maybe if you have a dilemma or a question we could post it on the site and see what ideas people come up with.
- Proofreading/editing. I have pretty good grammar (granted it's not 100% perfect but I have an honours degree in English) so if I can help with something you need checking I will.
- Connection...I believe we're all connected, but if you're feeling alone, you don't have to. Better still, tweet me if you want some real time banter!
- Time-saving tasks...you know, those little tasks/things you need to do/research/look-up online that should be quick but just aren't.
- Internet research - I know I just said this, but to clarify, if you have something you're stuck with, I'm happy to go out and join forums and post your question in several to get answers if you don't have the time or are not au fait with forums.
- Music theory. I play guitar and I'm pretty good with this, so if you're stuck I may be able to answer your question!
- Creative ideas. I'm no creative genius but I will try. I make my jewellery, and I write and paint when I can. If you're stuck with anything of this nature, I can try to help. I may even write a poem on demand, but I can't promise it'll be any better than a greetings card (will be fun to try though...!).
Don't be afraid to ask. And for those of you who read this, I would really appreciate if you take the time to click share, spread the link and help spread the word. There are people out there who could probably really use a little help, who may be struggling, overwhelmed or depressed (I've been there) and who may be very gratfeul for the opportunity. I'm not claiming I can save the world and I'm not trying to be a martyr. I absolutely do not think I'm better than anyone else (did I mention I think we're all one, and all connected), but what I am saying is that I have some time and love to give and I'd like it to be able to help someone in need than go to waste.

You have to be the sweetest little thing. Love your blog! Looking forward to tweeting with you. Thanks for the follow, xo
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I really needed that. Was in a car accident last week and have just heard that my car's been written off, so I was feeling gutted today, but you've helped renew my positivity, and if I can help anyone else, I'm pretty sure that'll get me back on track again. :-) Thank you x
