UKRescueConnect and Family Day #diary

Positive day of movement. I feel lighter weather on the way, although, we’re in for a few storms, variety is the spice of nature!

My eldest son bought a new car – he’s gone for a Skoda. There’s stigma attached to this make – but… really, if anyone is interested in a new car – you get all the high specs for a fraction of the price and the performance is highly rated. He’s having the Octavia. It’s done less than 25k miles, immaculate condition and around 8k cheaper than a brand new version. Tick – Tick – Tick! (I really embarrassed him in the showroom. I was a bit over-protective.) He’s also invested in his first juicer … and bought a load of fruit and vegetables. He promises he will change his diet!

Then … my youngest son has rented the first floor flat on his property. He’s a stunning landlord and really cares for his tenants. I am proud of his compassion. I am missing him and need to see him soon.

I was going to sell my home to buy a business. I am not, I shall keep my house and also have the business. This gives me stability. I feel really comfortable with my decision. I will still be visiting different regions of the UK as I will recruit a couple of people to help out with my little cafe/bisto when it’s all done.  Everything’s falling into place. Also, my sons may invest with me and I’ve had another couple of offers. But at this stage my focus is to do this alone. In the future as I expand out I will consider my options! Miss Stubborn here …

Finally … I am bringing news soon of a charity we adore in Leeds that support the homeless. We’ve a meeting on Monday, so let’s see what we can do. We will bring more shortly. I really want to get everyone involved to participate with helping the vulnerable in society. We will also be doing something more tangible for a London based charity for the homeless, in due course.

UkRescueConnect will help around 5 causes/appeals/charities at any one time. It’s something we’ll be doing in our spare time, as a means to give back to the hub of communities that do so much and need a bit of help. It’s about the cycle of giving, receiving and helping where we can. At this point we will be working mainly Friday’s and some time throughout weekends – purely as volunteers and all donations go directly to the causes.

Twitter Gossiping #Saga

Just to update those who connect with me via the Twitter platform. I’ve several accounts to identify my different sites and interests. Two of which are run by volunteers. As a campaigner, fundraiser and business person – I have to divide my time to focus on the various aspects of my life – as many others do. For instance people give their pets accounts, create fan accounts, etc. I am no different. It’s a free society.

I have no need to hide my opinion – I am no coward. I speak openly and I am free to use my voice as I wish just like everyone else and I will always put my name to any debate or opinion I hold. I am aware of gossiping once more. I feel very disappointed. Any issues that need to be raised please do not hesitate to email me personally using the contact form above. For those involved with this, it’s a pity you’ve nothing nicer to do with your time. There’s been much hate directed at me by the same couple for many years. It will never stop but I’m used to it now.

February – contemplation – busy #diary

Well, it’s February already for 2017 – where does the time go. I’ve not been updating my blog as often as I’d like. It’s been really busy.

I’ve been trying to focus on a new work project that is scaring the hell out of me. Investing money and time comes with sacrifice and I have to be sure I am doing the right thing. However, sometimes we have to take blind leaps!

I do a lot of volunteer work in the ‘real’ world and will have to sacrifice ‘some’ of my time and freedom in order to schedule a new timetable. It’s all about change and embracing the new. Yet for many years now I’ve worked on the move. Writing, photography and making promotional films for business. It takes a lot of self discipline.

Yet my heart is with cooking and hosting small events, mingling. Working independently, moving around is a great way of life but it has not roots. I live between towns and cities in the UK.  I need to have something tangible in one place, then, the rest follows. It will also allow my friends to drop in and see me, have lunch, chat, laugh! And I am sure ‘cry’ at times.

I will be doing less online, the same in the community and more for myself over coming years – I feel. I’ve a few short courses to go on, also – related to the food industry. I was going to indulge in a street food franchise – but, to be honest, facing cold weather and early 6am starts is something I know I won’t enjoy. So yes, I am going for a small cafe that I will be buying shortly. I truly mean it when I say, you are all welcome.

I will be holding workshops and meetups for my groups and also organising retreat trips. I won’t be putting the location online as it’s not so safe doing that in this day and age. We are all entitled to privacy of such nature.

I am also setting up a small website for a cause I will be sharing with a group of friends that we will participate with in our spare time. To raise awareness and funds for the homeless and causes that care for the vulnerable. I will bring more news on that soon.

I am rubbish with phones, those who know me will be aware I don’t have one glued to me. They are a distraction but I can be contacted by email.

My doggy ‘Foley’ age 21 who was unwell is in really good health. He’s running around and still drags me up and down streets on his lead. He’s a miracle. I need to take some photographs soon. Thanks for all the healing – it worked, love works.

Yes, we have to remember love is everywhere. It is about focusing on the positive and finding goodness in those closest to us. Telling our friends and family how much we love them. Less is More.

The world seems like a bad place, but there’s just as much good. It’s a case of finding where we are most happy!

Most importantly – to not fear addressing injustice and hate mongering, to stand up to bullies and persecution – to also find clarity and balance – to not take darkness to bed as we sleep. Attention goes where energy flows – don’t get pulled in but equally don’t get pulled down. Ego is a killer. We have to remind ourselves that those that go out of their way to cause misery on a daily basis are ‘self’ harming.

Anyway, I have to go – my eldest son is here to take me and the dogs out for coffee and croissants in the park. (It’s almost 11am in England.) I don’t see him very often. He’s rebuilt a very old outbuilding in his space and I’m so proud of him. I’ve taken some photos. My youngest son has converted an old Victorian house to flats all by himself. Equally proud. Blessed. Love to my nieces Gracie and Abi, see you soon my darlings.

I do hope your week is going well.
