Trauma Support Check In :) - June 25th to June 27th

Hello my lovelies, wishing you all a “Fantabulous Friday”. A hearty congratulations for completing another week :) This Friday is indeed a special one as it's the last Friday of the month marking our transition into the month of July. July is a unique month dedicated to freedom, independence and celebrations. July is the mid month of the year, and we hope that this month will mark beautiful,exciting, wonderful moments and memories for all of you :)

Interesting fact about July : July 5 is the time of aphelion, when Earth is the farthest it will get from the Sun for the entire year—specifically, we’ll be 94,510,886 miles away from our bright star!

Let's begin the check in with one of my favorite structures:) A short story

A well-respected speaker began a seminar by showing an audience of 150 people a crisp $20 bill. He asked, “Who wants this $20 bill?” All 150 people nodded.He said, “I am going to give this money to someone, but first….” Then he proceeded to crumple the bill up. He asked the crowd again if anyone wanted it. All 150 hands went up in the air. The speaker then dropped the money on the floor and stomped all over it. He then raised it in the air to show the crowd. The money was filthy.“Does anyone want it now? Every hand went up.The speaker proceeded to tell the crowd that no matter what he did to ruin the money, people still wanted it because its value remained the same. It was still worth $20. Life often beats us up to the point where we feel inadequate. We deal with bad circumstances and make bad choices that we have to deal with later. However, no matter what you go through, your value will remain the same. You have something special to offer that no one can take away from you.

So, don't put yourself down for no one, each and everyone of us is special with a unique gift. We should be proud of every inch of us. Lets all remember that we are “ENOUGH”

Let's end this check in with reflective response questions, please be free to respond to these questions.
