Some of you will know I've had a family emergency this week, and I wanted to explain a little more about what's going on. After spending time in hospital myself the other night, I came home to discover that my daughter was in a very serious mental health crisis, involving ending her own life. It's been a hell of a few days, to say the least. She's on the path to receiving professional help, but this isn't something that's going to be sorted overnight. I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because I'm normally here, sticking my nose into everything, keeping my beady eye on you lot and generally making a nuisance of myself! 😂 But right now, I need to be a mum first. SED is still very much here, and I'll continue doing what I can, when I can. There may just be a few delays, and I might not be quite as visible as usual. In the meantime, please keep sharing your events, supporting one another and their events and making the most of what we've built here. And perhaps a little reminder for all of us that we never really know what someone else is dealing with behind the scenes, so take care and sending big hugs right back to you all. Thank you so much for all your kind comments and messages. Heather ❤️

I’m a little bit MIA at the moment dealing with A family emergency . Thank you

I've been thinking about this whole community business lately. We all join communities for different reasons. Some of us want to learn something, others want to meet people, build relationships, find opportunities or simply be around others who understand what we're doing. And that's what makes a good community so valuable. We all want supportive communities, don't we? We want people to notice what we're doing, take an interest in our work, turn up to our events and perhaps even recommend us to others. But how often do we stop and think about what we're contributing ourselves? There's a habit I've noticed in online communities, and I'm going to call it The Noticeboard Mentality. You pop in, pin up your latest post, event or promotion, and off you go until the next time you've got something to advertise. Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with promoting what you do. Good grief, we're an events community, and that's part of why we're here! 😂 But a community isn't just a place to be seen. It's also a place to see other people. You are seriously overlooking an opportunity . When you're seen genuinely supporting others, people start noticing YOU. They see your comments, your encouragement, your willingness to take an interest in someone other than yourself. And quite naturally, they start becoming curious about who you are and what you do. Funny how that works, isn't it? 😁 You all want people to notice what you've posted, so why not spend a few short minutes noticing what other people have posted? Read something. Give it a like if you enjoyed it. Leave a thoughtful comment. Ask a question. Show someone that you've actually taken an interest. It doesn't have to be some enormous undertaking. And remember, like energy attracts like energy. When you show up with genuine interest and support for others, you're creating the sort of environment where people are far more inclined to do the same for you. So here's a little habit I'd love to see more people adopt. Before you post something of your own, spend a few minutes liking and commenting on other people's posts.
