@TheLisaOHare @BBCUpload The planets are telling me to think about stage 2 of @InspoInIso , third reference or nudge I’ve had today that has made me think about it and all the great contributors.

Thank God it’s over unfortunately wasn’t the phrase of 2021 but let’s hope with the view that Omicron is not as severe as expected (transmission aside) that we do start to get back on track again in the New Year. https://t.co/1MyLPk3pOT

Holding on tight to the last few lines of this one.

Christmas is not cancelled,
And neither is hope.
If we lean on each other,
I know we can cope.

Grasping a positive from the fact it feels like we haven't moved on much in the last 12 months, to share some great creative writing from this time last year. #anothercovidchristmas #Christmas2021

My daughter was reading her copy of @theweekjunior before bed & said look Mummy it’s the man who has a poem on your website. @EarlyTrain was one of our launch poets on @InspoInIso with his Lockdown Lyrical verse Lockdown Song. https://t.co/KIrGeLCTia

We’d be delighted for you to share some of the great work from our community!

@InspoInIso Looking forward to having some read out! X

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

In truth we obv. never expected this story in all our lives to still be ongoing!

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

We’ve been v. quiet & v.snowed under by the day to day, work & family life but are still here!! Buoyed today by a lovely shout out from @birds_calling podcast & vow to make time to bring some life back into this amazing @InspoInIso community.

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

@NoLoveSincerer Yes absolutely, we’d love to see your work

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

Okay so we still can’t pitch up spontaneously, and still can’t chat travel plans or train delays but we are edging closer . . . To be fair if the British weather stays like this I might get my wish to sit by a fire sooner rather than later. https://t.co/NNL9sDAn73

For #WorldBeeDay we are throwing it back to this creative #lockdown contribution from @BardyMum 🐝 https://t.co/L00UJUJcgX

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

Continuing #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and the theme of #nature we are flashing back to this contribution by Catherine, “Down by the Estuary” for her providing “calmness in a chaotic world” https://t.co/qSrJoCRlW0

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

Thank you to @alicecurleypoet for this contribution "Panic" As we get thrown back into life this will lead to so much anxiety for so many and as we focus on #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek let it be a reminder to be kind and supportive to those around us. https://t.co/54HCGHqREN

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

“stretching minds beyond the despair of closed doors” this contribution last year from @JulesJumping describes the tonic and the feeling of hope that nature offered after being trapped inside. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2021 https://t.co/bgzVOJh961

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

Today’s flash back for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2021 is “Waiting” by @CanningDavid as he sought the gifts of nature during #lockdown #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek https://t.co/zn3mA44ewb

[Inspiration In Isolation @InspoInIso]

Taking a look back at this contribution from @LindaMid7 the perfect piece to kick of the nature theme of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2021 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek https://t.co/3yBNnNNJ0c
