One step at a time 🫶🏼

This October, I'll be taking on a 40km walk with my dogs to raise awareness and donations for mental health.

I chose mental health because, if I'm being completely honest, this year has been a really difficult one for me mentally. There have been moments where I haven't felt like myself, and like a lot of people, sometimes I didn't want to talk about what I was feeling or what I was going through.

And that's okay. Not everyone feels comfortable speaking out, and sometimes you just have to find your own way of getting through it.

For me, that has been finding little things that bring me peace. Going for a walk, being outside in nature, going for a hike or a run with my dogs - things that might sound simple or even boring to someone else, but have honestly helped me more than they'll ever know. Sometimes you don't realise how much you need to clear your head until you're outside, breathing fresh air and just taking one step at a time.

l've learned that loving yourself, giving yourself time, and finding your own peace is so important. You don't have to have everything figured out, and you don't have to pretend you're okay all the time. It's okay to struggle, and it's okay to ask for help.

This walk is going to be a challenge, but it's something I really want to do for a cause that is very close to my heart. If you're able to donate, even a small amount, I would honestly appreciate it so much. And to everyone who has supported me, checked on me, listened to me or simply been there for me throughout this year - thank you. You probably don't realise just how much it has meant to me.

Here's to taking things one step at a time. K
