Hello, my name is Mairead. All through the 2020 lockdowns I made cards. Thank you cards, to remind myself there was a lot to be grateful for… that small things are actually BIG things. Small things like getting groceries and garden supplies were very, very big things. Small things like getting post delivered to our post box, were very, very, big things. Small things like receiving offers of help were enormously big things. And then there was the overwhelmingly big things like frontline staff and for my family – the nursing home staff who have been going above and beyond to take care of the most vulnerable, including our mother. I had a lot to be grateful for so I made lots of thank you cards.
This made me feel like I was reorganising my inner space and so naturally I started to reorganise my outer space. And that turned out to be very freeing. I dumped loads and gained empty space and found playing cards and paper I had been saving. What had I been saving it for? I didn’t know at the time but it turns out I was saving to create something…
The Permission Cards began when I was chatting with a friend and she said something mean about herself and it just popped out of my mouth, “how about you give yourself permission to be kind to yourself?” I promised to make her a permission card to remind her and we went on to talk about something else. I’ve been mean to myself my entire adult life, it’s just a habit, I don’t hear myself anymore… but I feel it. Fortunately, as soon as I heard my friend being mean to herself, I noticed.
In November we (the cards and I) started working together. I worked on them and they worked on me. It started with that one card but I just couldn’t stop making them so I made them for my family and friends and with every card I made I was being kinder to myself – even when I made mistakes! And, I was asking for help, I was forgiving myself, I was beginning to be ok with being less than perfect… on and on these little cards have been working on me.
And then a dream grew in my gut and I wanted to bring them out into the scary wide world. But I couldn’t do it alone and I thought that made me a failure. So I used my permission to ask for help. I asked the lovely, kind, Alan and his wife Eleanor, for help. They have a printing company. They listened. They made it easy for me. They also made it easy to ask for help.
So here we all are coming back into the world, the same and completely different. This could be the perfect time to hear that you are beautiful, perfect actually and the only things that need fixing are the rules that make you think it’s okay to be mean… to YOU.
