Over the past week I have been in reflection mode…reminiscing about my trip to Paris that was taking place at this exact time last year, and thinking about all the changes that have taken place since.

I make it a deliberate act to be as positive as I can in business and across my social media networks, but I would be lying if I said this past year hadn’t had it’s challenges.  Challenges many of you don’t know about.

Some of the changes that have taken place relate to business, some of the changes relate to personal matters – and I am grateful for each of them, even the changes that may seem “not so good” from the outside.

One year on I’m still kicking, I’m still in business, I’m still learning, I’m still growing, I’m still contributing and I’m still doing the very best I can each and every day.

My year since Paris has been a rollercoaster of activity and emotions, then again, most of our lives are exactly that and I am rather proud that I am able to identify these emotions and work with myself instead of my old ways of just powering ahead regardless of how I feel.

So my friends, please, please look after yourself.  Celebrate your successes and achievements no matter how little or insignificant they may seem.  Talk about your problems and issues and do all that you can to deal with them.

You are worth it.

Regards
