My old friends and family know this about me, new ones, listen up:
My door is always open, my sofa is always comfy and inviting, my home is a place of love, acceptance and non judgement. I will always be here, I'll always lend an ear and a shoulder. You are important to me and are ALWAYS welcome!! If you are hurting, please don't think you have to suffer alone. You have friends. That's what we're here for. That's what I'm here for. I bring this up because today is Blue Monday (the third Monday of January) and it's reported to be the most depressing day of the year. January is statistically the worst month for suicides. I think it's important that we all take some social responsibility here and recognize we have the power to help. Most of the time, we can see when people we know are hurting. Sometimes we choose to look away, because we're busy, or in a hurry, or not up for the "drama" or just not in the mood to engage.
Today I want you to engage. Don't ignore someone else's pain. Step up and get involved! Tell a friend or family member (that you know is sad) that they are not alone. Reach out to someone in pain and connect with them. We all know people who are having a hard time. They might be lonely, overwhelmed, sad, angry and isolated, depressed or confused. You can see it in their eyes, in how they respond to you, there are so many around us. Pick one! Anyone. Reach out and say "Hi, I've noticed you've been down, I want you to know I care and I'm here for you." Then ask them if they need to talk. Have a cup of coffee or tea. Sit and give yourself to a human being in need. It won't take long, a half hour at most, and it will make a big difference. You'll both walk away feeling better. Nothing beats a win/win scenario. Go to it, Reiki Babies! Spread the nice. Spread the caring. Spread the love ❤️ and look out for your friends in need. If you or anyone you know is struggling and needs help, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention can be reached at 800-273-8255, 24 hours a day.
Love you guys 😘
