Right then.

It’s my birthday month!

Oi, before you roll your eyes and mutter “here we go again”, hear me out.

I’m not about to throw a rave or demand a parade. You won’t catch me in a crown, sipping Prosecco in a hot tub full of glitter. (Which honestly, doesn’t sound entirely awful.)

But this month is special in part because many of my dear friends haven’t made it this far. Add to that, the challenging time (to say the least) that the world is going through means I want to make my birthday month about more than me. I want to make it about restoring some joy in lives of others around us.

My intention is to start a ritual to really celebrate the quieter things that keep us going:

• Gentle joy
• Small acts of kindness
• Thoughtful support
• And yes… the occasional fabulous freebie

I’ll be sharing bits and pieces throughout the month. Some days will be reflective. Others will be full of cheeky little gifts and no-strings loveliness.

Why?

Because we introverts tend not to shout about it from the rooftop or mountain top for that matter but we do deserve to be celebrated too.

I am celebrating we introverts by sharing gifts with and for you, in hope to create a circular journey and completeness of reciprocity.

So my lovelies, I am inviting you to join me in having a charitable mindset throughout April.

Let’s do something that costs us next to nothing but may make a world of difference to someone else.

Smile at someone who looks like they could use some kindness.

Hold that lift or elevator door open for the person struggling to get there.

Notice where you could offer to do something for someone without being asked.

Random acts of kindness are such a gift for all involved.

So whether you’re here for the self-kindness reminders or just fancy being in the running for a treat or two… stay close.

Things are about to get gently delightful.
