Dear Wellington members, 
Happy November month, I cannot believe it is almost the end of the year!

With this in mind, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to talk to me this month, it has been wonderful walking alongside you through this journey that we call life. I know this year has been tough for many, and when I read this poem, I thought of the importance of self-compassion
during tough times in our lives. 

I think there are past versions of me that get together for coffee, 
they talk about who I used to be and how I overcame all that was thrown at me.  They don’t gossip, talk badly, or bring up all my mistakes. 
They meet for coffee. And cheer me on every single day. 

Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others. I often reflect on ways in which we can be kind to ourselves, and what would that look like. For me, it often involves treating myself the same way I would treat one of my friends, being supportive, and helpful towards myself. Just as in the poem above! 

Honouring our beautiful, and imperfect humanity. We are often doing our best with what we have, and as many of you have heard me say before “we are not robots” therefore, we will never be perfect. And it is absolutely fine to be perfectly unperfect.

Please, as always, know I’m here if you ever need to talk. I would love to hear how you honour
self-compassion, so feel free to send me an email, text, or a little carrier pigeon with a message. I always love hearing from you 🙂
