Things are looking up – I am getting back to being my best. This song has helped me-

So, for those who know about the Mental Health Awareness workshop, I helped out with with Healthy Minds- Open Minds-Mental Health Education & Anti-Stigma Workshops on Wednesday. I got some incredible and ‘reach for the skies’ feedback. I pretty much aced it. People find me engaging and inspirational. Here is the link to the post I am talking about for those interested

WOW!

so many good things to say to someone who has made epic mistakes in my life.

The best news of all?

The organisation who asked us to come in and deliver the workshop, want us to come back!  We did it!

I am kind of am buzzing.

Another epic thing that is happening in my life is I have finally decided to take the leap and applied for my MA in Creative Writing.

I am just waiting for confirmation from one more organisation. Please pray to whichever God you believe in that all will go well for me.

OR

send out (my way).

Saying my Mantra – multiple times a day. It hasn’t let me down yet.

It is the waiting factor that makes me anxious but I’m singing ‘Let it go’ on a loop. Well, this is the version that resonates.  I do give a shit but I need to swagger it until confirmation comes through.

I have done everything in my power to make this happen and now I have to sit back and wait and see what happens. It is looking really positive.

Eeeeeek!

This is what I probably look like at the moment

POSITIVELY HIGH AS A KITE BUT STILL TRYING TO KEEP MYSELF GROUNDED.

Usually, I wait about a week and a bit before I get out my gratitude list and have a look at all the new flowers in the Willows community.

The big SHOUT OUT  time can’t wait. I figured to take my mind off my expectations, this would be a good time to be thankful for who and what I already have in place my life.

This moment is what should matter and so this is a moment I give over to you all –

As always.

Like me, she has a thing for boxes. I love a bit of mystery and though I am an open book . There is a lot I keep for myself. Hiding thoughts and things in boxes has always been a thing for me.
