Cuddles

These last few days I have been wearing a badge we unearthed in the spring clean. Made by myself and my girly when she was about 3, she couldn’t write but told me what to put on it, so it proclaims:
“cuddle up to someone if you feel scared.”
I’m immensely proud of how emotionally astute my children are. I don’t know when I first started thinking one of my purposes in life was to encourage connection and reduce isolation. Maybe it was my daughter who inspired me, maybe we inspired each other. Either way,  I urge you to grab someone for a cuddle whenever you feel a bit afraid of anything yourself – I think cuddles work wonders J
