So, today is the first day of advent so if you’re going to make the self-care calendar, today’s the day to do it. You could do it later and just count down the 12 days of Christmas if you don’t want to commit to the 24 days of advent though so don’t pressure yourself too much.

For those who have made one, I really hope it brightens your day and helps you to do something nice for yourself. A few friends of mine who aren’t on CC have made them and I’m already loving hearing about their advent tasks. I picked my task out this morning and it told me to light some candles, grab a blanket and watch a Christmas movie so I’ll be doing that tonight.

  This sounds interesting. I’ve never considered doing one before. I have no idea what I would include on it though.

Hello. My name is Shandy and I'm part of the Create Change team. My pronouns are she/her and I'm fine with they/them too. Some things about me are that I'm queer, disabled, autistic, and very silly. I have a degree in English literature and creative writing, a foundation degree in mental health, and a teaching qualification for adults in community education. I have taught drama and creative writing as well as courses in self-care and managing mental health. I'm very into arts and crafts even though I mostly just make messes. I love books, music, collecting weird stuff, and Wensleydale cheese. I also love autumn, silver things, animals, and I'm quite fond of Clarice Starling. I don't like shaking hands and my facial expressions don't work very well but I am very pleased to meet you!
