Who am I? Who are you? Who are we?

Who am I? Who are you? Who are we?

Caring for others can be demanding, and consequently, we can forget that we have (or once had) interests and lives outside of this role. Seeing we are all part of a growing community, I thought this would be a great opportunity to introduce ourselves and share some random fun facts about who we are.

While keeping anonymous, list 3-5 things about yourself. This can be anything such as interests and hobbies, previous interests that you'd like to reconnect with, words to describe yourself, or thoughts. Here is mine:

1.) I like looking at cute animal memes on the Internet, hence my profile pic.

2.) I love cooking (when I have the time) and trying new food/tastes. If anyone out there has good quick vegetarian recipes, share them 'round!

3.) For time out, I enjoy sitting in cafes and doing NOTHING other than sitting down with a hot drink and people watching. It helps me to stop and just breath.

4.) My favourite place to be is in the mountains – it just feels like home for some reason.

5.) I love a good documentary and learning about the world, especially ones about mountains, animals and food.

Now, what about you?

Hello.

My name is Catriona and I am the Mind + Body Project Coordinator at SANE Australia. I am new to the forums so I thought I’d share three random facts about who I am…

  1. I love coffee, looooove it
  2. On weekends I like getting out of the city and going for a bike ride in the Dandenong’s
  3. I’m trying to get back into knitting!

I look forward to chatting with you more in the future.

Where exactly do you ride in the Dandenongs, Catriona? They are so beautiful. Love Olinda!

I do loop around Sassafras, Emerald, Monbulk and Olinda. It is beautiful there, I love it too!

Re: Who am I? Who are you? Who are we?

I started this discussion over year ago that basically asks people to share a bit about themselves outside the caring role. @urib reminded me of it today in this thread where he talks about having difficulties identifying himself as a 'carer'.

So one year on, I thought it'd be a great opportunity to talk about who you are, which makes who we are as a community.

Your invitation to respond is accepted.
Here is a little bit about me beyond my role as a carer.


1. I'm a very artistic and creative soul who loves nothing better than to be creative. I toggle between poetry and prose and artwork. In terms of art there is nothing I haven't done and I am very diverse - I can be doing a highly detailed pencil drawing one week, a mixed media canvas the next and digital art in between. My digital art is "featured" on a Canadian website that is dedicated to healing and expressive art as therapy.. I'm currently designing and building a website/blog which is all about healing from trauma and abuse through creative expression.


2. I love cats, butterflies, sandalwood, frangipanies, jacaranda trees, jasmine, gemstones, sunsets/dawns, the moon & stars, talking and laughing .... and lots of other things.


3. My favourite place on earth is Bali because I can feel the creative spirituality of the place. I've been there over 20 times and never tire of the inherent beauty of both the island, it's people and the richness of true Balinese culture. My kitty cat has a balinese name - "Raksasa bodor" which translates into "crazy demon". We call him Raka for short.


4. Despite being wise and mature, I'm also extremely childish and immature in many ways and love having fun, fun, fun. I'm the first to arrive and the last to leave at any party :0


5. I'm very diverse when it comes to time out, sometimes preferring peaceful solitude in which to be creative and at other times thoroughly enjoying socialising with friends.


So there we have it. Love to hear from others.
Janna ❤️

1.) I love the outdoors, whether it's 5C or 35C

2.) Spending time with family & friends (bit of a social-butterfly (with people I 'know'))

3.) I'm a keen aquarist (my wife & I at one stage had 50+ aquariums)
