Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse! The Princess sat, pondered and decided to share some thoughts……..

 As December draws to the end I have been reflecting on what the past 12 months. Throughout the year I looked at my vision board everyday…… however now I find myself looking at it and seeing what I have attracted into my life this year! I have travelled more than ever, visiting Cyprus, New York, Miami, Texas, Portugal, Romania and one of my favourites……. Dorset! My vision and dreams are clearer everyday! My business opportunities grow and grow! I love the Princess!

Whilst reflecting over the past 12 months, I realised that it is also the end of the first decade within our New Millennium and so I began to think about how my life has developed and the journey I have taken during this time. One of the most special parts of this journey is the people that have joined the ride over the past 10 years. I laugh out loud as I think …….. I can’t remember what life was like before these people entered my life. However I’m very lucky that I have an amazing family and life long friends who have been with me along the journey for over 20 years……. For which I am grateful everyday.

Lol…..oh, the University days….. I met Shell, Becks n Caz (& Elaine)! The Uni days we shared and all the magical moments we have shared since leaving University! The late night giggles living together, the sunbed, the spider on Shell’s back, Sunday Roasts for a dozen people, creating the picture wall, Bar-Non and then since….. Take That concerts……Take That dance at every opportunity, SPICE Girls reunion and this year sharing the very special moment of celebrating the love of Shell & Alex’s wedding in Portugal. We each uniquely have our own qualities and special individual bonds, bring us together and we’re like all the colours of the rainbow……. Bring us together and you find the pot of gold….. Magic!

This decade also saw the commencement of my Personal Development journey……. Positive, Positive, Positive! Towards the end of 2004 I was exposed to Marcus Child and You Can If You Think You Can (thank you Marriott)! At the end of this course I was also given a copy of Stephen Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, it has taken until 2009 for me to read it (journeys don’t always follow the straight path, that’s what makes it more interesting!) It was also at this time I met my first mentor, George Adamides, who gave me my first PD book, Michael Heppell, How to Be Brilliant! George and his famous Sister Efrosyni have been amazing mentors and friends in both my personal and business paths! I know we have an amazing awesome adventure in 2010 and beyond! You both rock!

Wow….. the more I think the more people there are to write about……. if you’re reading this then you’re already very special to me!  Love you!

One last thought……….Dream Big for 2010

Zig Ziglar puts it perfectly – There is only one thing worse than being blind, to be able to see but have no vision in life!

The gift I give to you to take with you into 2010 is dream bigger, laugh louder, smile wider, stand taller and be true to yourself!

Love, Magic & Adventure
