Merry Christmas!

-


I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas holiday and you're all relaxing and taking the time to reminisce on the good parts of this last year! 

I spent it with my new partner, parents and my brother and his wife. My son was asleep as he had been enjoying his PS5 gift from momma early. Ahaha. I checked on him, tucked him in and gave him a kiss on his forehead. He's grown so much since he was a baby. Always has the same baby smell though, momma's know.

My mam made a beautiful dinner as always, it's always the best part of Christmas and growing up it's always been the moment I've looked forward to. I thoroughly enjoyed the food today and it was the first time I had my dinner at my parents after years of being stuck in the house and achy.

It was nice.

I'm so grateful today and still blown away with how much my life has changed for the better. 

My best friend got me beautiful flowers yesterday and when I got back from my parents today, my friend came over and we've been enjoying the rest of Christmas together and making each other laugh.

My new partner is popping back and my friends son is going to join us for a bit, so it's so nice to be surrounded by good people.

I've never been happier and I hope this continues. Obviously bad things in life will happen and we can't change that but I'm aiming to move forward and try not to let the bad things bother me as much, keeping focus on the good things more and constantly moving towards my goals.

Every day is a new chance, a new opportunity, to be better than yesterday.

I want to take this moment to appreciate everything I have right now and everything, all I'm building towards, and I hope that everyone out there can see how far they've come too and what you've overcome.

It's the perfect time to think about the future as well as embrace the present, focus on growth from the last year's life lessons and appreciate the family and friends you have around you, because not everyone is as lucky.

For some this is a difficult time of year.


For those struggling, please know people care and think of you too.

It's okay to not have all the answers and not have everything figured out, all we have is the 'now' and it's up to each and every one of us to do our best to create a life around us that we want.

It's not easy and life throws obstacles at you but it's important to see your worth and not let the world ever tell you or convince you that you're worthless. No-one is worthless. We are all important and even if you don't have much, make sure you celebrate YOU today.

Stay strong and remember to believe in yourself.

As we come to the end of the festive season, I’d like to remind everyone to take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come and the strength you’ve shown. Life isn’t always easy, but every day offers a new opportunity to grow, focus on the positives, and keep working towards your goals.

For those facing difficulties, please remember that you’re not alone, and your worth is immeasurable. Take time to celebrate yourself today, no matter where you are in life.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for sharing this journey with me. I hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas filled with love and hope. Be kind to yourself and embrace the possibilities of tomorrow.

With love,

Sarah  ❤️ xo

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...
