A compassionate creative home

A compassionate creative home
Editor-in-chief Michael McHugh says now is a time to try new things and to find joy from the simple things in life.

For most of us, home is where we want to feel safe and warm, protected and comfortable. It can also be a place where you are at your most authentic self and from where you can draw strength. Now is the time to change things up and perhaps do those jobs around the home you have always talked about. I want to tackle covering an old chair my sister gave me for my 21st birthday (yes, it’s that old). I have never done upholstery, but how hard can it be? It’s worth having a go.

I want to make sure you all realise you very much have a friend in MiNDFOOD. Sometimes it’s easier to reach out and talk to someone about how things are going and swap ideas. I’m also happy for any of you to email me and have a chat. Send me an email at [email protected]. Communication is the key in helping us all get through this time.

Start enjoying the simple things in life. I ran my hand through our herb garden the other day; magically, all the smells of mint and basil, tarragon and parsley sprang up into the air, making me smile. It’s these small moments in time that can just give you an instant hit of pleasure. Use this time wisely and see it as an opportunity to make a change in your life. We are all in this together and can learn, discuss, share ideas and show real kindness to each other. Now is the time for compassion.
