Am I really posting about luxury handbags and pretty shoes while the country, no, the world, faces a crisis in the form of a pandemic? While people are dying and families are suffering? While financial uncertainty frightens us all? Well, yes I am and I intend to continue doing so. Not because I am heartless, or uncaring, or oblivious to what the world is facing, but rather to just get through. To keep going everyday, while the uncertainty overwhelms us and the figures scare us and the government confounds us. Because the reality, is scary. The possibilities, beyond comprehension and the unknown, well simply, unknown. So while I face all of that and more in my real life, and worry about ill relatives, staff wages and bills to pay, I will escape into the world of Instagram and the blogosphere, to well, escape. To distract from a world I have never before known, I will spend some precious moments, focusing on something else, escaping reality and posting about pretty things, that make me smile, and happy, and break the social media devastating updates, with Chanel quilting and LV monogram, and the anticipation of new arrivals.
So to you, and your family, be safe, be careful and look out for one another. When shelves are bare, resources low and selfishness high, let us remember each other, the elderly, the ill and the vulnerable. Because if we all look out for one another and pull together, we will get through this, and maybe, just maybe, emerge as a global nation, where togetherness works and loving our neighbour extends beyond the times of the Bible.
Be kind, be safe and take precautions, and if a little luxury loving helps you smile through it, come join us and enjoy the escapism!
Thank you for being here,
