Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Wonderful People

The world is full of wonderful people.

Each of those wonderful people has a story to tell.

I wish I could sit every one of them down and write or record their stories, because most of them are truly inspiring. Many of them have overcome real adversity. Many of them have really stepped up to the plate and created something wonderful from dire situations.

It's really interesting how different people deal with similar situations. Some educate themselves and become empowered enough to make strong decisions that bring positive change to their lives so that their futures look brighter.

Others feel defeated, stick with their limiting beliefs, give up,  and their lives become stagnant while they wait their situation out, and most of the time, nothing good comes from that.

It makes you wonder.

We have only been open for two weeks, but our shop has attracted many new people through the doors and some of those people share their stories. There have been some 'wow' moments.

Not only are we working in a lovely space, but we are meeting amazing new people every day!

I love it.

We still have much to do.

We hope to at least make a start on covering the training room chairs tomorrow. Even to cover one or two will be a start.

But then ... wouldn't it be great if we were so busy serving customers, that there is no time to cover chairs ha!

Our launch party is on Sunday afternoon between 4pm and 6pm. We have lots of champagne and plenty of nibbly food to keep everybody happy. There will be music (not live) and lots of happy, smiling faces. I'm looking forward to it.

I MUST remember to take my camera!

Anyway, it's approaching 11pm and I have to be up bright and early tomorrow morning. I have to meet someone at the markets at around 7am and then deliver some invitations, as well as post some signs around to attract the market goers to our shop.

So, until tomorrow ...

Nite all.
