Hello!!
All great things must come to an end, but don't worry! It's only for the Christmas and New Year break! Our bloggers today have absolutely smashed it.. once again, and you'll read below all the amazing accomplishments they have had for the year 2023 – Krystle Umbrella Support Worker. This week is the last week for blogging so let’s end it off with a bang! I’m going to be talking about my achievements I’ve made this year while coming along to the Umbrella Support blogging group every Thursday. I started on 27th of July with not knowing anyone and being my usual shy self, I tend to be like this when coming to new programs and experiences. I think this program has made me more confident and encouraged me to do the things I want and be the person I choose to be. I was very nervous about telling people here about my tarot reading as I thought they would hate it and not like the topic I enjoy, but it turned out everybody wants to hear my readings from my tarot cards. It has even inspired Cindy to buy a new home. It’s crazy to think how this can help so many people and it gives me the biggest warm feeling knowing that I give people hope and excitement whenever I do these readings. I was to start my own business helping people though the art of Oracle readings. This group has inspired me to follow my dreams and to not give up. Everyone is watching and congratulating you on your hard efforts, even when you feel like you’re not accomplishing anything, you are making an impact with these stories and blogs. And that makes me feel awesome. – Holly There are so many things I have achieved this year. I love seeing my friends from Umbrella Support in the morning and I say good morning to them. This makes me happy and we are all doing something nice for Christmas. Krystle and I have something for you all but you all have to wait and see until our Christmas lunch on Monday. I have been working so hard this year Amstel it is my first paid job. I hang out with Cody a lot this year we have so much fun together at bowling and sometimes playing fortnight video game online. On Wednesdays I have been cooking with Jessy and sometimes with Krystle. On Friday I go hangout with Krystle cooking, clean the house my room and pick up dog poo. On Thursday we do blogging. I’m proud of myself for reaching for some of my goals. Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year – TJ Hello, welcome to this blog! Today we chat about our year in review. This year has been a massive year with loads of changes and exciting events coming up. This year I started my own podcast with RadioVoice it’s called "Your Story with Scarlett" where I chat to loads of different people who have a story. I continue to be a regular voice on the Disability Matters radio show once a month and I'm happy to say I got closer to the mic! That was something I was working on at the start of the year. You can listen to Disability Matters on the Buzzz 6pm every Thursday night. www.thebuzzz.com.au Another great achievement for the year of mine is my work with Amstel Club. Every week, me and my friends learn something new from watering the plants to serving customers. I love working as part of the team and communicating with my team mates each week. This year I started at Every 1 Cafe, a learning cafe where I have learnt hospitality skills each week. I’m proud to say I learnt money skills, serving skills during this program and I learnt how to carry coffee as I have always wanted to learn. I've learnt that I can make sure customers are happy and comfortable and I am very polite. This year I started at “Just Write” which is blogging. I have enjoyed it so much. It has helped with my spelling and literacy skills each week and my spelling is improving. I've learnt what a blog is and it’s been a lot of fun learning with the Umbrella Group. As you can see there are lots of things I'm proud of. Thank you to the whole Umbrella team for being amazing. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. Stay Safe - Scarlett My year in Review and My time at blogging. Looking back we started blogging in July, I was nervous and not sure what to expect, but I knew who was in the group so that helped. They were my friends from Umbrella, we all bonded straight away and maybe it was the donuts Cindy provided. We discuss topics and chose ours and off we went. It was tough to get started, brain fog hit in a big way, and ideas were hard to put down. Slowly we got writing and suddenly we were finished, and our 1st blog was ready to publish. We were not sure if anyone would read it or even like it, what a shock we got the following week. Everyone loved it and we have regular readers. Over the weeks and months my confidence has grown, my writing and spelling have improved. I still get writers block but there is always someone to help me and it’s not so scary as we discuss and decide what this week’s topic is each week. I am so PROUD of myself and all that I have achieved through blogging. My biggest achievement was reading one of my blogs to everyone at Dinner with Friends and it made Delia cry. Last week I read another blog and it made my good friend Britt cry and she loved it, it was called Friendships. I have lots of support from my family and friends. If I can do it, anyone can do it, you just need to get started and have wonderful people supporting you. Thanks for being on my blogging journey. See you next year. Merry Christmas love Jess xo Blogging for 2023 has come to an end... Hello Friends, We have come to the end of blogging for 2023, and our blogging group has done so much in such a short amount of time. We should all be so proud of ourselves. I'm excited for 2024, not just the blogging part but ALL of it. Our blog will be awesome though so stay tuned friends. This year has been one heck of a roller-coaster ride, but you can't have flowers without a little rain, right? There has been a lot of sunshine moments for me this year and I will take them with me into 2024. Blogging has definitely been one of the sunshine moments for me. The best part of blogging for me, was the writing. I have had a great time playing with words, sharing my mind with you all and jumping right into the experience. Yes, I have had a few writing blocks and some not-so-great writing days, but I got through them and ended up with a great end result. I have really loved being in a team-writing environment, bouncing around ideas, sharing experiences, our wins and picking each other's brains for ideas and inspiration. All of us are learning something new, stepping (or jumping) out of our comfort zones and helping each other to be our best selves. So, to our blogging group, each of you are amazing and I thank you for being here. Each Thursday we talk about our wins for the week, sometimes it's easy to come up with a win and other days I come up blank. I am proud of my many wins for this year, work, blogging, handmade and the standout win here is GETTING ON A PLANE... I had never done that before, and I did it twice in one week. You know what is also a win? YOU, the readers, returning each week to read and committing 10-20 minutes of your time to reading our blogs. Knowing this makes all our hard work worth it and I find it encouraging to know that there are people who enjoy reading our blogs. I love receiving and reading the feedback so keep it coming! So until next time my friends, looking forward to seeing you in 2024 Your Friend, Shan I have achieved so much this year with Umbrella Support and in my own life. Let me tell you about this year and my biggest achievements. This year I started working at Amstel 12 months ago and it is my first paid job. How did I feel starting my first ever job at Amstel? I felt very anxious and excited to meet my team. The past 12 months our team and I not only learned team building skills but also how to work together through Amstel Academy and Every1Cafe. My dream is to be a Chef and this year I have learned so much about hospitality. I graduated from school last Thursday and last Friday was my last day at school. I'm excited that I don't have school anymore and I'm looking forward to the future and starting a new chapter of my life. I can't wait for next year. This year is officially over for me lol. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - Charlotte Have any of you ever be compared to between fictional characters or Celebrities before? I have been compared to both Prince Charming and Simon Phillip Cowell. A Fun fact for you in Celtic, is the meaning of my last name "Born Handsome" and I am a reverse name version of Simon Cowell. I am Phillip Simon. 31st of December is the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 it’s the year of massive changes in many lives including mine. Many of these changes for me include an extra day of work (Wednesday and now Thursday), I hope to do my certificate 3 hours in hospitality, and finally getting into Supported independent Living. - Phillip My achievements for this year with Umbrella and with my own life. This year I have started blogging with Umbrella Support and our group is called Just Write. So far I have really loved it and it has also helped me in learning lots of new skills such as learning how to use my laptop computer, improving my writing , thinking, reading and has given me lots more confidence. My experience with Umbrella Support has always been positive and I have learnt so much. I used to do Umbrella Support “Hand Made” group and next year I am returning to the group and I am looking forward to so very much. Umbrella Support has taught me to remain positive and see the positive things life, feel good about myself, and look after my health. Umbrella Support are very supportive, kind, caring and understanding. I also do podcasting that I love very much and I do a radio show once a month called Disability Matters that I really love doing and I would really like to thank Daz for his support.
