I want to tell you about the day I realised my Individual was watching everything. 💜

It was an ordinary evening.

I was tired. More tired than I wanted to admit.

I sat down at the kitchen table and put my head in my hands for just a moment.

Just a moment.

And then I felt a small hand on my back.

I looked up.

My Individual was standing beside me.

They did not say anything.

They just stood there with their hand on my back.

Watching me.

Seeing me.

And in that moment I understood something that completely shifted how I see our relationship.

My Individual notices everything.

Not just the big things.

The slight change in my voice when I am stressed.
The way my shoulders drop when I am exhausted.
The moment when I am holding it together but only just.

They see ALL of it.

And they respond in the only way they know how.

They show up.

Just like I show up for them.

Every single day.

We carry each other. 💜

Has your Individual ever shown you in a quiet unexpected moment that they see you?

Idiom Expression:
Sweep it under the carpet

Meaning:
To deliberately ignore, hide, or avoid dealing with a problem, conflict, mistake, or difficult situation instead of facing it and resolving it.

The expression comes from the idea of literally sweeping dirt under a carpet. The room may look clean, but the mess is still there.

In real life, we do this more often than we realise.

☆ In relationships
You have an argument, but instead of talking about what happened, you both pretend everything is fine and say, “Let’s just forget about it.”
The problem hasn’t disappeared. It has simply been swept under the carpet.

☆ In families
Something hurtful happens, but nobody talks about it because they don’t want to “cause drama.”
Years later, the hurt may still quietly affect relationships.

☆ At work
A mistake is made, but instead of acknowledging it and finding a way to prevent it from happening again, everyone moves on and hopes nobody notices.

☆ With ourselves
Sometimes we sweep things under the carpet by telling ourselves:
“I’m fine.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“I’ll deal with it later.”

But avoiding something doesn’t always make it disappear. Sometimes it simply gives the problem more time to grow into stress, resentment, or emotional weight.

☆ With forgiveness
Forgiving someone doesn’t mean pretending it never happened or that it didn’t hurt.
You can forgive someone while still acknowledging what happened, setting boundaries, and allowing yourself to heal.

☆ On social media
A perfect-looking picture doesn’t always tell the whole story. Someone can share that everything is wonderful while quietly carrying something they’ve never allowed themselves to face.

Sometimes, what we sweep under the carpet is still there.

Maybe healing begins when we stop trying to hide the mess and finally give ourselves permission to look at it.

Because a clean-looking room isn’t the same as a truly tidy one….and sometimes, neither is a life.

HUMUNGUS Happy Fathers Day 🎉

BiG shout-out to all the dads and father figures out there doing a fantastic job ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whether you are a biological dad, stepdad, foster dad, grandfather, carer, mentor, friend, or even someone who has stepped up and been that fatherly figure in someones life - I want to say you are appreciated, loved and valued for all that you do ✨️

To all the dads raising children with disabilities or extra challenges, and to those navigating challenges of your own - I see you. Your love, patience, strength and presence matter more than you may ever realise...and thats not just today - but every day 💕

I hope today you all had the chance to do something you enjoy - like going fishing, tinkering/building something in the shed, cooking up a yummy BBQ, playing or watching your favourite sport, putting your feet up to relax and have a breather or simply spending some precious time with the people you love.

I also want to acknowledge that Fathers Day can also be a really hard day for some (myself included).
If you have lost a dad or father figure, or you are estranged from someone, or maybe your dad wasnt there for you - today may have brought up feelings of sadness or grief....please be gentle with yourself and take time to navigate your feelings 🙏

Whatever Fathers Day looked like for you...I am sending you love, grace and understanding 🤗

My Individuals do some pretty unique things that I am quite sure not many other people do 💜 and most may not understand.

Majority of these things are something small…. so small that other people wouldnt even notice.

But for me…. I LOVE these idiosyncrasies. Because they are completely and entirely theirs.

[Note…. Idiosyncrasy is one of my favourite words. It means: a unique habit, odd mannerism, or unusual feature that belongs to a specific person or thing.] 💜

Some of the idiosyncrasies that my loved ones do that bring a smile to my face are as follows:

☆ The specific way they arrange things before they start an activity…. lining things up in a perfect order for them.

☆ The sound they make when they find something very funny that they are trying to hold inside.

☆ How they mix 3 activities into 1 very short sentence (with interesting actions) for me to unjumble and comprehend. 😄

☆ The odd occasions where they give me a random hug…. just because. For me this is extremely precious. 💜

☆ The unusual and very unique way they attempt to try a new food or drink…. there is a whole procedure and process involved.

☆ The look they give me when they want me to know they love me but they dont say it out loud.

☆ The way they remember certain details with absolute precision while forgetting what they had for breakfast.

☆ How they love watching the same cartoon over and over (knowing all the words and music by heart)…. because it feels safe and predictable for them.

☆ How I always know when they like something I wear…. as they wipe the material and smile at the feel of it.

☆ Their night routine and how much they value the moments of closeness we share and find peace and internal calm.

☆ How they have a particular and very unique way of getting wet before jumping in the pool. 😄

☆ I adore the way they love the very simple things in life which make them smile and fill them with joy and happiness. 🌟

These tiny specific things…. completely unique to them. They are my favourite things in the world. 💜

I treasure these because they are proof that my loved ones are all originals and special.

There are no copies. No duplicates. No version 2…..just them. Exactly as they are.

In all of their specific, particular, odd and beautiful uniqueness. 💜

Every Unique StarShine Individual has their own idiosyncrasies…. something that is just theirs.

Today I would love to know what YOUR Individual loved one does that is uniquely theirs.

Please share with me and drop it in the comments below. 💜

No detail is too small. In fact, often the smaller the better.

Because often it is the small things that speak the loudest. 💜

When I decided to stop measuring my Unique Individuals against everyone else 💜....I felt freedom.

When my children were young, the comparisons often came without me even thinking or realising I was doing it.

I know Im not on my own here. Most parents, if we are honest with ourselves, have done this at some stage whilst our children are growing up, developing and reaching milestones and goals.

Often comparisons come without us even trying....often without comprehending we are doing it.

My whole life Ive always been an observer. Its often how I have learnt my own social skills growing up. And so when it came to my children I also observed and took mental notes of how other kids were around them....thats when I noticed that there were a number of milestones that other children reached, but mine didnt at that same age.

What I also noticed was that my children had different skills and strengths that their peers did not. And so at the time I felt it kinda evened itself out.

To be honest there were milestones that other children seemed to reach seamlessly that mine struggled with. And what I found hard was the importance that educators and therapists put on these milestones, some of which may never be any of my loved ones strengths.

Yet sadly, I noticed that things my Individuals had as strengths were not celebrated or seen as milestones or goals achieved.

It was in these moments that I realised how often the system and the way its been set up is not suited for our Unique Individuals.

Progress reports feel like they are written in a language designed to remind us of the gaps. Not celebrating the wins. Instead they feel like they are magnifying the weaknesses.

I know that world.

I lived in it for longer than I want to admit.

It was only when I decided to purposefully block out all the extra "noise" — the expectations the world puts on how we should all grow — that I truly saw how uniquely special my loved ones are....and how they SHINE in their own way and in their own time. 🌟

Ive realised there is no need to pressure or push them....they grow and bloom when its their time.

I make it my mission to notice those moments when my loved ones do something significant for them.

Even something small....something that is special to us.

Something that often has taken months of quiet persistent work to get to.

Thats when I see their eyes light up....the knowledge that they have achieved something great for them.

THAT is their milestone.

Not the one in the textbook, or that is expected. Not the one that others their age reached a while ago.

Its on these occasions that I am thankful that I decided to change the way I measure their achievements....their wins!!

I observed, captured the moment, acknowledged and celebrated them differently....not against the world or others....but against their yesterday, the level they are at and the growth that is perfect for them.

Are they doing something today that they could not do yesterday? Even something tiny? If yes, lets celebrate it. 💜

That is how we are moving forward.

And that is enough. That is everything for us. 💜

“The pot calling the kettle black.”

Meaning: When someone criticises another person for a fault that they themselves have.

Now let me put this one into an NDIS context for a moment.... 😅

How many times have we heard the system talk about the importance of communication?

About keeping everyone informed.
About making sure all providers are on the same page.
About ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

And yet....

The very same system that talks about communication makes it incredibly difficult for the people within it to actually communicate.

Providers who cannot access each other’s information.
Reports that sit in inboxes waiting to be forwarded.
Families left repeating themselves to six different people because nobody has a shared system.

The pot calling the kettle black. 😊💜

We are not here to point fingers.

We genuinely believe that most people within the NDIS system are doing their absolute best with what they have.

But we also believe that families deserve better tools.

Tools that actually make communication between support networks possible.

Tools that put the information where it needs to be, with the people who need it, at the time they need it.

That is exactly what Unique StarShine was built to be. 💜

Not a criticism of the system.

Just a better way through it.

Some days you carry them.
Some days they carry you.
That is what love looks like. 💜

I have been carried by my Individual loved ones more times than I can count.

On those days when I do not think I have anything left to give, when my energy feels completely zapped, my brain is fatigued with so much decision-making, and I feel like I just want to curl up and hibernate for afew days to try and recover back some of my energy.

When I would sit down at the end of a long week and one of my precious kids would climb up onto my lap for a cuddle without being asked.

When one of them said something so unexpectedly wise that I had to write it down immediately.

When they laughed at something so freely and so fully that I couldnt help but start to giggle myself and the whole atmosphere in the room changed.....it felt lighter.

When they took my hand in the middle of a difficult moment and held it.

Just held it....without knowing the full story of what was wrong.
Without needing to fix anything.
Just choosing to be beside me....to keep me company.

Those moments may be small and to some they may seem insignificant, but for me - they mean everything 💜 - they give me energy, they give me strength to keep moving forward.

People have often said things to me like “I do not know how you do it” as if my life is only about what I carry.

But they do not see the other side - the side where our individuals also carry us.

Mostly they carry us...Quietly. Constantly. Without needing applause. In their own special way....the only way they know how..

And honestly? Sometimes those are the moments that hold me together the most 💜

Has your Individual loved one ever carried you when you needed it most?

Complete the sentence in the comments below 👇

"Nobody tells you that being an NDIS carer means ____."

There are no wrong answers here.

This space is for honest ones. Our real answers. The ones we might be reluctant to say out loud anywhere else.

Sharing more with each other and saying things out loud to others who understand - the less alone we all feel.

Over time Ive realised the less alone we feel through our challenging life journey, the stronger we become.

I cannot wait to read every single answer. 💜
