RUOK?

This is just a very short post that I wanted to link to Gemmas at My Big Nutshell

On September 15 there is a national day of action called R U OK? Day. The purpose is to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones.

Now I don't live in Australia but that doesnt necessarily mean I cant support this cause and take part in my own small way.

It' also not just about helping to prevent suicide but about touching base with the people you care about, asking someone how they are and actually listening to the answer.

Gemma believes in life and happiness and this is a cause very close to her heart.

If you have a few minutes, pop over and take a look and maybe join in on September 15.

Sarah! thanks for your support and spreading this message. It truly is about listening to the answer. It is so obvious, yet we seem to listen sometimes at that superficial level without 'seeing'. A lot of people aren't OK, sometimes we are not OK either and finding someone to listen is just so important.

xxx Yes, people check out R U OK? Day and participate asap!
