Where am I now ?

August 2nd 2021..well as it is, my life during the pandemic, was, lets say ‘lucky’. Much better than most, I would say, I have no immediate family to worry about, I work from home, missed going to the pub, but apart from that, care free.

Do not get me wrong, my heart has gone out so many times for those who lost loved ones, children who could not visit their parents in homes, the NHS and all who lost their lives, I surely feel for them. A truly horrid time.

I have promised myself to really, really make each day count, an although I have promised myself to not be afraid of what others think about my actions, I still let it bother me. I have wanted to be a ‘YouTuber’ for a long time now, recorded many videos, published some, only to delete them. A lovely friend of mine Kahlia, has just gone for it and created a podcast series (https://youtu.be/sgi6LaE-CcM ) it has been an inspiration for me to move forward with my business, this is how she describes her series :

‘The admiration series in collaboration with Kalc. meets with women from many different creative industries to generate what motivates, empowers and inspires them to do the work they do. We’ll touch on core values, limiting beliefs and expectations placed on women in society and how they use their vision, strength and voice in their chosen creative field to break through these barriers.The aim of the series is to share knowledge, inspire others and connect women in creative business by overlapping different disciplines and creating a multi connected network where women can co-create and collaborate in the creative industries. What’s unique about the series is the unscripted creative exercise that takes place after the body of questions. Curious for more? https://www.instagram.com/kalc.__/ #kalc #admirationseries ‘

So, I have set myself a challenge..to post a video everyday in August ! Then three times a week, after that. Yup, I think after that I should be quite experienced at all that YouTubing involves. The things that I struggle with, in making videos is the editing, inserting photos etc, but I can only learn.

Khalia not only inspired me to continue, but she recommended a great book, which I have just started to read. it is by Sarah Knight and is named ‘The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**K’ available on Amazon.
