We live in very strange times with all kinds of restrictions and worries and uncertainty about the future of our jobs and families let alone the future of the human race. To this end I started posting a daily video on You Tube to share on Facebook, Instagram and some Whatsapp groups where I know there are people who are isolating and are alone. I’ll put them all on here but not all at the same time although I know binge watching has taken on a whole new momentum lately!

To some people isolating with the family and being paid for it seems like a holiday at first but, as time goes on, the realisation kicks in that the longer the lockdown continues the more we become prisoners not only in our homes but also our minds.

The harsh reality of isolation can hit hard when things go wrong and we lose loved ones and are not able to be with them for their final hours or even go to their funerals, and if someone is ill or struggling we cannot go and physically help in any way but just give words of hope and comfort. Some of the videos may be useful to pinpoint a specific time of the lockdown but hopefully they will all have wisdom of some sort that can be taken at any time.

I like to think these videos will give words of hope and comfort as well as things to think about and what kind of future we want for ourselves, our families, and society in the days after lockdown to build the basis of a more caring and loving age where decisions are made from the heart and soul and not from the heads and egos. Our leaders and experts should be made fully aware of this new desire at every opportunity.

Keep safe and take care.
