I am thinking about all the contrast of people around me who have children - especially the women

- Shana four kids - struggle

- Kirsty - had a lovely leaving do and is pretty much going to sit at home

- Julie - complicated birth - sat at home with no job

- Yann and his partner divorce

- Joyce - 4 kids leaving in a shithole - still doiing quite well and partying a lot

- stacey with all her children - stay at home

Then there is me a doctorate, freelancer, directing my own project

- then there is my mum who built healthy children to pretty take care of her business but also got them to work early and then at the same time do her arts.

I think my children will be part and asset of the family business and will be directly involved in the growth of our family. I will not force them but they will feel like participating. because it is all part of the family business. we will be able to have my mother supporting the children, the painting being sold will also support with taking care of the kids and my husband earning will help as well.

SUCCESS is A TEAM EFFORT

Reading Anna Wintour harsh advice for fashion students resonated with me (click here for full article). I have been working with Sandrine Nyota for now two months.

It remains supporting other successes by working for another designer or company can be extremely rewarding as we learn the importance of having a team around us to achieve greater high. Indeed there is not just one road. FOR GOD’S SAKE, FIND SOME GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT Getting a job is just so much more than covering the end of the month, it is also about developing relationships by helping others. At the end, it is a gain ...

Finding a partner in the making

I love working on projects. I love working with others. When I started to be a volunteer coordinator for Positive Money in Leicester, I wanted to find a partner to create some events on the theme of money. This person had to be reliable, trustworthy and hard working.  I did not find the person through the various meetings and events which I organised or participated in. The individuals I have met were not there to collaborate in the way I wanted. They were looking to gain other social benefits. Eventually, one person revealed herself to be the right partner whilst I was volunteering to support her own scheme: Footpaths, a carbon footprint reduction community-based programme . I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Ride Southern Winds to your goals

You may have for so long tried to follow the North Star. It appeared to be the only way to arrive at the destination you are dreaming of. You made a map of goals to accomplish. You shaped your persona and your tools to drive your boat as best as possible in the sea of opportunities. And then... Everything is going South. A rollercoaster of emotions comes your way and before you know it, thunder is here as your cold head focused on your goal meets warm winds from down under. You do not know how to handle it all. one advice: Go South. Ride the winds. The warm and not so warm. Yet keep watching your North Star. You will get there eventually. Do not fight against the warmth of your feelings. They may burn you alive or even worse throw you out off board
