My health has been a concern this year, and really it still is as the NHS is still doing tests. However, after speaking to a physiotherapist I am approved to do gentle walks and train with really light weights, but as I'm unmedicated for my condition (I have been told what medication they plan to put me on but have heard nothing more yet) it is preferable I try to not push myself very much but to not be complete couch potato either as that is bad for circulation.
I have got myself a medical ID that I wear everywhere now and will update as soon as I know what medication I need to add to it. I got this one from https://notch.io and love that is customisable and recommend it for anyone (I do not get paid for this advertising, I just wanted to bring knowledge of their business as they are the only ones I found that did what I needed - not recommended for those who can't wear magnets though).
The positive is that I can continue to work and sell things on this site, if you wish to buy something then that's awesome (Fellowship Crafts). Last Tax Year the only money I made was about £34 from a physical stall but my tithe from the sales of that went to St Mary's Church, Andover. Tithes from any sales this tax year will either go to to the place where the stall was held if it is a physical stall, and the tithes from all online sales will be split between my local CofE Parish which is where I attend church - Andover Parish - and the charity Wessex Heartbeat because they support the Heart Unit at Southampton Hospital who are currently looking after me as an outpatient due to having congenital heart disease (born with a dodgy heart). I'm aware that as a Christian focussed business, Wessex Heartbeat isn't a Christian Charity, but I want to give something back because they look after those of us who have congenital issues that can be forgotten by the mainstream charities.
Another thing to note is that it may be a while before much new stock is added to the website. I do this business as a 'cottage industry' from home and as we are in the process of moving and may well be in temporary accommodation through part, or even most, of August I can't take more stock with me than is already on the site. Hopefully there will be the opportunity to add a new pdf cross stitch design or 2 to the site as I can't upload any more physical products for the time being.
If anyone has any charities they would like me to consider for future years then don't hesitate to get in touch, either by using the contact form on the website or by emailing me direct on goodnewschristianresources@gmail.com. So far I am considering UCB, Bible Society, Franciscan Aid and Open Doors.
