Top of today’s To Do list: sort branded bookmarks for The Big Retreat goody bags.
Well, because I am the boss, but also currently head designer, the PR and marketing team, financial controller AND office assistant at SHC the To Do list actually looks like: design bookmarks, create QR code, source printing company, order bookmarks, store bookmarks, pack bookmarks and transport bookmarks to Wales.
And so maybe it’s kind of ironic that the quote I’m printing on the bookmarks is:
“We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.”
- Brené Brown
😝
I love this quote and its sentiment. It’s the thread that runs through everything I do at SHC. It’s been plastered across the website (and bookmarks) since the beginning, and I think it’s a brilliant reminder for people when they dive into a self-help book that you don’t need to do this Work alone.
So, inspired by our bookmarks this week’s Thursday Thread question is:
What’s your quote?
(the one that when you read or hear it connects to your soul).
NB Thursday Threads are a space for the community to connect with me - and each other - so please be generous and share in the Comments.
And for those interested in getting their hands on their very own Shelf help bookmark I will give to you in PERSON if you join us at The Big Retreat in South Wales at the end of this month…

An original SHC bookmark from 2017… our (my) design skills have come a long way since then :)
“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Feel lightly even though you are feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen & lightly cope with them.” Aldous Huxley, The Island (one for the anxious inner child)
I'll be there, I'd love a book mark 😁 and a cat h up and happy to help and spread the word of our wonderful group.
One of my favourite quotes is from Man's search for meaning.
"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom".
Viktor E. Frankl
So much to love in this response. I promise to save you a bookmark :) 😍
Okay new substacker here. Posted my reply in the wrong place 🤦♂️ so have two for the price of one:
