What Mind Bloggling Means To Me....

Hello all,

In quite a reflective mood of late, and so i just wanted to share with everyone just what the mind bloggling project means to me....

i had never blogged before the project and so, at first, it seemed quite an alien concept to me to have a space online because well....

what would i write?

what might people think of what i write?

have i got anything worthwhile to say that others will want to read?

where do i start?

and the list goes on......

so i just got on with it and put anything down that sprung to mind, and as a consequence i've learned that i can write what ever is in me to write, and whether anyone finds it interesting or not is not the purpose for it being there, but it is important simply because it is important to me and that therefore makes it important enough to be there. everyone has the right to be heard.

i use my blog as a catalogue of things that i have done, its a positive reminder and inspirational diary of good times, something to have a look back on when i'm feeling a little lack luster.

most importantly though i think that what matters most to me about the mind bloggling project is that it has allowed me to speak with, and connect with such genuinely kind, supportive, interesting, humorous and inspirational people from all walks of life, that ordinarily i may never have had the pleasure to meet.

so that's all really, that i can think of for now, although i am sure that there are many other things that i haven't even crossed my mind.

Sanity Fair 16th of June at noon with monsoon!!!

Hya all,

as you may well know it was the seventh annual Sanity Fair on Saturday 16th June. The day was a great success, if i do say so myself. The Media Action Group for Mental Health (MAGMH) stall looked fab (thanks to everyone who helped out, we really couldn't have done it without you)

Although my intended Elvis appearance didn't quite work out in the end due to wardrobe malfunctions & instead i ended up having to attend the event at Willy Wonka, which was better in the end because i luvd the hat i got to wear & we did a last min golden ticket lucky dip for the kids.

The bands were absolutely brilliant i only wish i got to listen 2 more tunes & the Planet sound parade was ab fab! And the queen, well you know who you are u were top stuff!!!!!& thankfully the rain held off just long enough for the planet sound folks to do their thang. But not quite long enough for the rest of the day!

but in spite of a freak monsoon half way through the day everyone soldiered through, stood their ground and made it through to the end of the day, to raise awareness of mental health, to promote mental well being and inform the general public of the mental health services available to them in the Stoke on Trent area.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you & well done to everybody who helped to make the day the success that it was & i hope that together we can make it even better next year! ( hopefully without the 'singing in the rain' tribute!)
