Well, it is that time, the big 50!
I had a wonderful time even though it was in lockdown. I cannot believe where the time has gone. Like most people getting older has been a rollercoaster of a journey. There has been ups, downs, joy, sadness, hard knocks along with successes and of course heart breaks.
I lost both my parents to cancer, my Mum from breast cancer when I was about 26 and my dad from throat cancer when I was 37.I also had a scare and had a lump removed from my breast. I am so grateful to be healthy now. have struggled to cope emotionally and physically, as I am sure you have at some point.
I used to eat my emotions. I have often felt down and struggled to cope, sometimes it has taken all my strength to pull myself through. We all have experienced great losses in our lives and there are two options, Sink or swim, I always choose swim, even if it is with a life jacket.
We also experience great love, and I am so thankful to have met my soul mate and to have the support of my family and friends and I am profoundly grateful for all the memories and lessons I have learn over the years. Your certainly do not realise it at the time, but as time passes, your grow and learn more about yourself, you start to see those lessons.
I believe you must keep learning and developing your self and keeping a positive mindset. A few years ago, I discovered a wonderful meditation by Louise Hay, her teachings are invaluable. Her book “The power within” is a wonderful read, it helped me change my outlook on life.
I do not think about life as getting older, I feel that every day is a new start to learn and develop new skills, keep pushing yourself out of that comfort zone.
This year I have certainly done that by starting my own business , its hard work and scary at times but I am enjoying it, I love connecting with people and helping my customers have a healthy glowing skin, Which leads to them feeling more confident and beautiful.
Keep setting goals, keep pushing yourself to be better.
Keep Smiling beautiful Diamonds.
