This morning the Village was flooded once again full, loud and gloriously messy. Babies, pushchairs, drinks going cold, several conversations going on at once..
Somewhere in the sharing circle, a theme found us without any agreements or planning. “Strength” was the theme running through the Village this morning.
Strength in realising you’ve come through something that once might have broken you.
Strength in saying “no” even when it makes you uncomfortable.
Strength in asking for help and reaching out to others.
That’s why there are always spare hands at the Village. If you need a breather, use the bathroom or just want to share without being interrupted, someone will happily hold your baby. You don’t have to explain it. Just ask.
Strength in staying steady while things shift or go wrong around you.
Strength in change and in embracing it.
If any of this sounds like where you are right now, there’s a seat for you. Every week, whatever stage you’re at. 🛖🤎
