ILLUSTRATOR SAYS:

The aim of my project: to provide a comfort blanket for my soul and the soul of others.

Day 9 image:

Lockdown has kept so many people apart. But this third lockdown has been different for me. I’ve begun connecting with the people in my life in new and wonderful ways.

Today I received a card and box of gifts from a special friend who wanted to send me some love for valentines day that I would otherwise be spending on my own. Kindness is just the most wonderful thing. I’ll be opening them tomorrow to make my day sparkle.

We’ve read poetry

We’ve giggled about my home hair cuts

We’ve danced on Zoom

We’ve sent flowers to one another

We’ve shared books, hopes and fears

We’ve done online courses together

Thank you dear people that have felt so far and yet so near.

Background to The 100 Day Project:

This is a project led by Lindsay Jean Thomson who is a writer and co-founder of Women Catalysts. In 2016, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, a bizarre yet life-affirming experience she chronicled for VICE.

I’d love to get your support and encouragement over the next few months if you’d like to comment and share.

Hope anything I create gives you a little bit of comfort for your soul.
