Blown away!

-

I'm absolutely blown away.

So many good things are happening and have happened and quite frankly I'm not used to it.

It has me so emotional and grateful and I can't take it! ❤️ 

When life's been so difficult and it suddenly starts changing and things start becoming wonderful, how does one adapt and embrace that?

I don't want it to end. 🥹

I feel it with every fibre of my being and it's new and scary but absolutely wonderful. 

I don't know what I've possibly done to deserve all these wonderful experiences and life changes but it just goes to show that if you work hard at putting out positivity and good vibes in the world, karma will overwhelm you with amazing surprises!

I hope my life continues like this because I love being excited and happy. I love being amazed and feeling blessed and I've come so far over the last few years since I was bedbound/housebound.

I've got a beautiful family, a wonderful friend network now and I'm loving and appreciating and embracing it all.

~I want to wrap it all up in a blanket and hug it so hard and never let it go!~

On top of all of these positives and life changes, my wonderful best friend from school, Corin, surprised me today with the most beautiful little package!

She had sent me a beautifully written best friends Christmas card and some wonderful white and red Christmas roses with gold leaf embellishments!

I have put them in my kitchen windowsill with pride. Couldn't find the vase I own so I used a glass jug and despite spilling the flower powder food practically everywhere, I managed to get most of it in the jug ahaha.

I can't wait to hang with her again and I've never ever been filled up with so much joy and amazement as I have been this last month and with the random amazing experiences and surprises this year has brought me.

I'm crying happy tears as I'm meeting Christmas with new opportunities, amazing friends, beautiful relationships with my family and so many achievements with charity work and goals it's unbelievable!

Tell the universe I'm stapling the rug to the floor cause I won't let no one, under any circumstances, pull it from under my feet. 

(For those who are reading this from elsewhere, having a rug pulled from under one's feet means that a sudden 'bad' happens, it's a saying like "waiting for the other shoe to drop", "it's all too good to be true where's the bad?", and I'm saying NO to bad.)

By joking about stapling the rug I'm saying I won't let no one and nothing, sabotage my happiness and peace I've earned and worked ever so hard towards and I've stopped expecting bad all the time, and instead I'm revelling and rejoicing in the good.

I'm living in the present and embracing my 'present day' gift. 

Practicing gratitude and appreciation has changed everything around me, and now when I'm tested, I'm using my growth and development to turn any negatives my way into positives.

"If you can't find a silver lining, make your own."

I can't wait to see what else my life blesses me with and can't wait for all of the adventures I'm about to have that would have never have been possible without me clawing and crawling my way out of hell, literally, to get mobile and out of my wheelchair and walking with a walking stick/aid.

I've really pushed myself and I've wanted to quit so many times, felt it was pointless so many times, faced adversity and unwanted, unwarranted conflict so many times but I've persevered and the universe has taught me those that persevere, are rewarded.

The universe is showing me what directions I need to move towards and I'm actually listening for once. Self-love isn't selfish and by being kind to myself and soldiering on regardless of any obstacles being thrown at me, I've opened doors and opportunities I'd never have been able to even dream of.

This is my little slice of life and I've managed to make it a safe and wonderful place, after many years. That is a major accomplishment.

Sending love to everyone out there, and I know from experience the world can seem bad most of the time, but please persevere, because when you get to the good, eventually experience the good, it's priceless and will be cherished forever. Memories like those are worth the suffering and fights to get to. Moments that you will carry deep in your soul to the very end are around the corner.

Just never give up on YOU.

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:

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...
