JANUARY<br />
HAPPY NEW YEAR!<br />
As I enter my eighth year of publishing <strong>Lifestyle</strong><br />
magazine I am looking forward to 2016 with hope<br />
and optimism. I don’t have any resolutions because<br />
I don’t have any willpower, but maybe I will try and<br />
be less impatient. I work at full speed pretty much<br />
everyday and my husband has to remind me regularly<br />
that others do not operate at the same pace.<br />
So while I welcome the new year with my usual zest,<br />
I promise to take time to breathe and appreciate all<br />
that I have. It’s of course a time for reflection and<br />
I am extremely fortunate to be content with life.<br />
I have a husband who still makes me laugh after 20<br />
years, gorgeous kids and a warm house. I am also my<br />
own boss, something I never thought was possible<br />
ten years ago when I was in and out of employment<br />
within the media.<br />
With age comes a fine understanding of well,<br />
everything. I have over the last couple of years<br />
banished negativity from my life, from keyboard<br />
warriors who are immediately blocked, to family<br />
members who feel they have the right to put me<br />
down and emotionally beat me up. No one has the<br />
right to make someone else feel bad about<br />
themselves.<br />
So let’s show some more compassion, let’s<br />
encourage each other and if you don’t think you’re<br />
in a place of contentment do something about it.<br />
We are all in charge of our own destiny,we all have<br />
the power to change course. Leave the job you<br />
hate, end the relationship you’re unhappy with, hang<br />
about with people who make you feel good and take<br />
the courageous step to doing something different,<br />
Who knows, you may find a renewed zest for life as<br />
well.<br />
I am incredibly excited for the forthcoming<br />
Liverpool <strong>Lifestyle</strong> Awards celebrating all the special<br />
people who have set up independent businesses and<br />
are keeping the local economy thriving. Not only is the<br />
night important recognition for these people, but it is<br />
also a night for people to let their hair down. After all<br />
with hard work comes hard partying too!<br />
Keep an eye on all events, as always by following me<br />
