If your fairy godmother was in front of you right now, what would you wish for?
A recent post of a Facebook friend brought a tear to my eye when she said, “what I wouldn’t give to have an hour with my mum again” … For me this really puts the wish list into perspective. The things to love, the things to cherish and the things to strive for.
In a world where there is so much pressure for perfection with absolutely everything … it’s assumed that everything will be different upon its arrival… but would it really?
I have a habit of always hoping for sunshine but sometimes getting the rain. It’s easy to welcome a downpour with open arms in a period of drought, but not when the river is already too high. It is always wise to keep things in perspective.
So, it’s great to embrace the good stuff and make sure we live in the moment as much as we can. I must say how delighted I was to get the good news to be a finalist in the Growth Community Annual Awards. I joined the Barnsley group over a year ago, I feel very humble to be nominated for the most transformed member of the Growth Community and now reaching the final. Thank you to all the members who put me forward. I have had such amazing support throughout this journey.
With December already upon us, I had a unique moment in a special place with time to think about what really makes a great gift. The staircase I was fortunate to find myself sitting at the bottom of provided a wonderful photo with me looking rather at home. I must confess though that the staircase in the picture doesn’t belong to me and the carefully wrapped luxurious boxes are probably empty. In reality, I was at Wentworth Woodhouse with my grand-dog Betty after a tasty bite in the dog cafe, followed by a lengthy walk enjoying the views. Experiences being well up there in my eyes when wanting the wand to waft.
As we are now in the festive season and the pace gets just a little faster, its best wishes all round!
