I believe in signs, and that whale was definitely one for you!

βThe whale spirit animal is the earth's record keeper for all time. As a totem, the whale teaches you about listening to your inner voice, understanding the impact your emotions have on your everyday life, and following your own truth.β
Oh Lauren incredible piece of writing. Firstly before my thoughts go delving into your readers questions, do you realise how iconic The Summer Bay soap is to us Irish! It's still showed daily on our main television station at 1.30pm & repeated at 6.30pm.. As a very young kid when l had no idea how big the World was never mind Australia & we met a tourist or visitor from 'down under' you could be sure many of us asked "omg your from Australia do you know Alf from H&A & is the surf as good as it looks on TV in Summer Bay"
Secondly I'm sure the woofs were as sad to see you go too, as your kind nature seems to instantly put fur babies at ease & gain their trust.
Thirdly yeap l believe that early sighting of the Whale π had a purpose for you.
Fourthly now l can't exactly remember your question to us readers ππ but l do know my initial thought to it was in the past fear of failure, rejection, & stupidly thinking but 'what would other people think' lm gladly repeating that what l wrote just know were past thoughts within my own head. Now lm living more honestly within my own headspace with a "sure why not, what's the worst that can happen, it may open new doors & live in the moment can do will do, tomorrow is not guaranteed mind frame..which is far more satisfying & peaceful within..p.s l expect to see pics of Summer Bay & the Diner in your next volumes & say hi to Alf in the Surf Club!!! πππ€ππππ§‘
Ahhhh I am so excited to read about your fondness of Summer Bay! I went yesterday! I will post photos in my Substack chat now while I think of it and hope you enjoy. No sign of Alf, sadly but his name was there! π§‘
Can you believe how much I missed the dogs? You'd think I would be used to it by now all the homes I leave, but for a few days after I left, when I woke up in the morning, my ears were listening for their pitter-patter that never came. π
I am so glad to read these thoughts are past ones. Isn't it awful the stories we tell ourselves sometimes? Isn't it magical when we uncover the truth? "Sure why not, what's the worst that can happen?" is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing that ππππ
The promises do come true
Don't I know itπ
