Hmmmmm where to start to write this blog?
I’ve wanted to write one for ages but I always seem to get my best ideas at around 2am. An idea will pop into my head, with my eyes closed I will be the perfect author, teacher, diplomat - basically whatever I imagine I am word perfect and it’s all so easy.
I’m too tired to wake properly and actually write the idea down, so I will go over and over it in my head, planning every intricate detail so I don’t forget anything. Then the next thing I know, the alarm goes off and I have a vague idea that I did think about doing something incredible but I can’t remember what it was!
Then my day starts and I jump on the rollercoaster of life and the idea is totally forgotten or procrastinated about. Too busy being busy as most people are. Busy at being a wife, mother, daughter, therapist, friend etc etc. But, don’t get me wrong I love it all and I wouldn’t change a single thing - apart from the fact that it just goes by so quickly.
I have what I think is the best job in the whole world, I love helping people, watching them achieve their goals, overcome their fears, feel clear headed. Whatever it is, I love every minute of it and I am always thinking of the next creative thing I could do which will hopefully inspire someone, even just one person. That’s why I wake at 2am and over think wonderful ideas.
The reason I am writing this is to let you know that although I can’t remember all my 2am excellent ideas I have decided I won’t let it stop me from just getting started. I put pen to paper this morning (or rather finger to keyboard) and you are now reading it. I STARTED!
So, if you are like me, procrastinating about getting started with something, just do it. It’s not as bad as it seems and you might actually enjoy it!

PS whilst attempting to write this, Karl is listening very loudly to comedy sketches on his phone, Jess wants to talk to me about what university courses I think she should apply for next year and Emily has gone into a long description about a dress she is designing out of recycled products with her friends at school for a Trashion Show (Eco week) plus Frank the dog has the most terrible wind and it's ever so distracting - so it’s taken me three trillion times longer to write this than it should have but I WILL NOT stop because - I HAVE STARTED woooohoooo!
