It’s so important and already inside us all. Many don’t believe it because they can’t see or touch it but its so magical once you find it. For all my students who are just finishing their exams, go on step onto that staircase, you won’t fall. For everyone else who lives in this world of ours, it’s great if you have yours because you will know the importance of holding a child’s hand and helping them step onto the staircase too. It might take a minute but its time well spent.
The Good Old Days?
21 JunWow what a week. It’s been such a whirlwind of activity. Non stop but how fabulous, my glass is always half full. What is more is that I get a great feeling of the fabulous people I have in my life. I am blessed and living in this moment in every way. This led to my thinking about the ‘old’ days. In reality, do we just create a romantic view of them because they were when we were young and ‘carefree’.
Walking out with my son this morning, I took a deep breath. There was a mere hint of sunshine but it was warm and the blue in the sky was trying its best to peek through. It felt so peaceful that I started to smile and couldn’t really stop. Didn’t want to stop. I was thinking that life really can be all that you want it to be. In that moment, I felt like my children could be safe and carefree and that is what is so important for me.
I do think that the speed with which the world turns these days has left people quite breathless. Many don’t have an outlet for the breathlessness of it all and that spills over into unnecessary confrontation. You see it everyday because I dropped my son off at child are and there it was, a man and woman throwing punches at each other on the main road as passers by stopped to watch. I just can’t. That sort of thing scares me for me and makes me want to hold my children closer rather than letting them grow.
But summer is coming,a time of year which should have more smiles than any other. In my view every year gets better because every year I learn more about how to live in that peace that I have found. My children make me laugh everyday and, as they grow and learn fill me with a new breathlessness, one of pride. Everyday I know I have found my happy.
And with summer comes summer workshops. I met two fantastic young ladies whilst writing my next book in the coffee shop yesterday. They are running a summer scheme, free to young people with mental health issues. What a worthy cause. They are called No Ball Games Allowed (www.noballgamesallowed.com, @noballgamesall). That will be a fantastic scheme, guaranteed with such enthusiastic and inspired leaders.
The Codey Learns summer school will be running too. More detail to follow.
I hope that more people can begin to see how great today is. It is as good as or even better than the good old days. I found my happy and I hope y’all can too.
Sometimes I sit down and I wonder…..
7 JunWhat I did that was so fabulous in a previous life to deserve such lovely children! My babies are my key motivators. In a world which has so many broken bits but an abundance of blessings they never fail to raise a smile . My daughter is a kind, loving teenager (turning 16 in September, she would want me to let you know!) my son is an extremely funny nearly 2 year old. He inspired my business through his love of exploring and learning. All I can say is Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I love what I do!
6 JunI wake up every morning giving thanks for having the ability to do it! My books and the business are contributing to people’s lives and I am seeking ways of delivering them as widely as possible.
It was a lovely surprise to get an email yesterday that book 2 has been included on the Christian post best seller list as of yesterday.
