I would like to take this opportunity and express my gratitude to you for supporting the Hatmobile and me, in your own way. I have worked hard with a team of people to make the new website come alive and am getting back to sending out regular newsletters to keep you informed.
You may or may not know that I like to make these newsletters somewhat personal and give some thought to each one of you out there as I write. Even so, I do not know everyone personally, or not at all, I know this is going to a real person. I like to think of you, especially now in this time where the whole world is grappling with the corona-virus. We all react differently to what is happening, and I can see around me how hard it is for some folk. Today we had a curfew imposed on us in Melbourne with stringent restrictions for when and how often to leave the house.
I was able to support myself and feeling less helpless by starting to make a lot of online tutorials. These are short, pre-recorded videos filled with lots of information and tips and tricks to help you on your way.
I am very aware of how important human connection is for mental and emotional wellbeing. I miss the hugs from my family and friends considerably, and I can imagine, so do you. Because of that, I also started the online chats on Mondays and Wednesdays. Everyone is welcome!
I do hope that this newsletter finds you well and that there is some support in your life. You do not have to go through these somewhat challenging times on your own.
I believe that it is essential and helpful to know that there are faces out there which share some things in common. Knowing that we are in this together is one thing, and seeing one another and sharing on a screen across the world can be very therapeutic.
Please accept a heartfelt ‘HELLO’ from me; even though we might never have met.
Be well, stay well. Become well!
