Pride and Privilege

There are benefits it is said, to learning to deal with disappointment, such as recently when my daughter missed out on a role at school that she was desperate for. It builds character and resilience! At the time however, when you are feeling so enthusiastic and confident, rejection can be heartbreaking.

I am currently reading The Element by Ken Robinson (http://sirkenrobinson.com/) from which I am gaining insight and inspiration. It's about creativity and self-fulfillment, and encourages me to continue to embrace and strive for what really drives me.

By following my passion and being truly satisfied with who I am and what I do, my hope is that my children are inspired to aim high regardless so they too can experience the joy of choosing their own path.

Little Poompkins

Now here is a perfect example of someone who is leading the way in following their bliss.

Little Poompkins has been created by someone very dear to me who loves "sewing, colour and all things creative". She is working to make her own special mark and I invite you to visit her place at www.madeit.com.au/littlepoompkins

Bloomin' marvellous my friend - congratulations and best wishes!!
