Its been a tough couple of weeks here at Minty HQ……

It has been tough for our immediate family, CoVid 19 has wormed its way into our support network with both mum & mother-in-law in isolation and step=dad is hospital with CoVid. It has meant worry for all of us, food deliveries, checkiing-in phone calls and a knock on affect to school pick ups, puppy walking and so we are running around from place to place to try and cover it all……

Still unable to plan any creative group sessions for Art Clubs, Repair Cafe or Family Creative workshops, i am concentrating on ideas for my part time role in social media, creating content to be used across all platforms. I have been filming a very talented artist as she takes the viewer through the basics of watercolour painting. It has meant exploring videography and editing videos! Something very new to me, so i am not confident with it but loving the process, even though it is a longer one that i thought!

Alongside this, my Uni assignments have to be researched and written! Co-incidentally, the first subject is regarding my skills, something i m not always great at recognising in myself, so my first port of call is to do a personality test to help identify my own strengths and weaknesses…….

I already recognise that one of my weaknesses is to focus on a negative emotion which blocks me from achieving my goals. During a recent board meeting, I became intimidated by others comments and a feeling of ‘what does it matter what I say’ resulted in no comments on a matter that is incredibly important to me and now I feel as if I failed…….hence the title of this blog.
