Appreciation is important:

-

So as I'm a fellow 'dullard' in all the Dull Men's and Dull Women's groups on Facebook, I have an interest in a lot of things others would probably yawn at. Ahaha.

I'm the neurodivergent that read the dictionary for fun lol as a kid, and with the progress of my Criminology Degree I decided to attend my home towns Council meeting.

A new mayor was announced and they went over the itinerary and their agendas.

I couldn't help but be fascinated by all of the old coats of arms and photographs on the walls and I would have loved to have had someone go through all of those including the mayor and mayoress pictures and told me all about them!

Maybe one day ahaha.

But, I sought help from two council men that were in attendance so I thought it best to thank them in person and show my appreciation for their support with my bulky waste fight with Durham County Council.

When I first arrived I was shocked to see that my disability group was there, All Disabilities Matter and it was a good shock and I ended up hiding out at the back of the group photo with the mayor that was stepping down.

I got a pack of papers and will look into them in more detail later today. It's interesting to see how the councils for my town work together to help people and our community and I knew a few people there already so I wasn't so anxious.

A huge thank you to everyone who made me feel welcome attending the annual council meeting for the first time and a huge shout out to those who provided the sandwiches, drinks and cakes, thank you so much!

I met the new Mayoress who was an absolute diamond and I'm looking forward to talking with her to see what I can assist or help with, in regards to my hometown.

We need to constantly advocate for disabled people and if she needs my assistance with anything I would be more than happy to help.

I'm focused on actioning positive change, and to do that you need to work within your community and inspire others to do the same.

A little positivity and positive change can change peoples lives for the better, and have a bigger impact than most can even know.

It was a pleasure to be in attendance and I hope sometime soon someone can tell me all about the history on those walls.

Meanwhile I'll keep moving forward and keep fighting for the disabled and vulnerable and for more inclusion and support and work towards my degree and my sole tradership.

Wish me luck! ✨

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

-
Image
I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
