I know what you’re thinking: why on earth has she put giraffes in the title?

Wonder no more as there is more to a giraffe than you might think! Giraffes are not known for the noise that they often struggle to make as they can’t get enough air up their long necks to reach their voice boxes but by the other ways that make them such fascinating animals.

Those who know me well will be able to see how I related to these creatures as I have always been the quiet person in the room and have struggled or been afraid to make my voice heard but through events that I will discuss in later posts, I have come to realise that this is not my only defining feature. Although not everyone will be able to relate to a giraffe specifically, the general idea that we shouldn’t focus on what we can’t do but what we can do is something that I feel is very important for people to know.

I would like to emphasise, however, that this is something that I have developed over time and I would not confess to feeling this way on a daily basis and I am prone to having times when I struggle to love myself. I do hope that the bits that I have learned and will continue to learn through making this blog will come through and that this will help you to start or continue to be more confident in your strengths.

Thank you for reading this and I hope that you found it useful. Feel free to get in touch if you have any thoughts/feedback. I would love to hear it as this is fairly new venture for me.

Until next time, Kathryn!
