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 />
