Why all the postboxes?

I love postboxes because, for me, they are a symbol of joy. Joy that I can walk to them! Joy that I send my books and welcome packs through them. Joy that lands on your doormat and makes you more confident, motivated and powerful in your life!

Why would I be so joyous about walking to my local postbox? Well…because for many years I was too ill to even leave my house. I know what it is to struggle and suffer and because of that deep knowledge, I can help you.

I did everything right but life went horribly wrong.

After twenty years of severe M.E. (with many months each year housebound, in bed or hospital) I struggled with a monstrous load. I had enduring burnout and was determined to regain some balance in my physical health. As a family, we have had an immense of illness to endure. Just as my health started to improve a little bit, we had to deal with the worse kind of degenerative illness and yet more chronic illness. It was another fourteen years of deep sadness and struggle. 

And yet…

Yet there were things that made me super-resilient and very resourceful. Many people asked us for help and advice, even my University asked me to give talks about how to cope when life was really tough. Through all these profound stages in my life, I discovered that health and unity mattered most and that there had to be a loving purpose from all that struggle. I’m so pleased we’ve found each other and I hope that every time you see a postbox that you will smile!
