I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

I’m not sure if this is ok to write but wanted to respond to @CheerBear. I have a friend who is having the hardest time of life just now. She has been dealt a really difficult, gut wrenchingly hard set of life cards. She is in the middle of lots of big daunting and scary things trying to juggle it all and I’d imagine feeling very alone and full of very mixed emotions pulling her in all directions. I want to tell her what she would tell anyone else going through this. That it is so hard and unfair and that she is doing the very best job she can. That it is ok to lose it and not feel in control at times. I would tell her she is doing amazingly well and that she is courageous and strong. I would tell her that her vulnerability is a strength. I would tell her to breathe and look after herself. I hope that one day when this storm passes she’ll be able to reflect and be proud of her strength and courage. Take good care of you @CheerBear
