Mother yourself with Kindness and Compassion - A Cinderella Story

Cinderella is my favourite Disney Princess Movie of all time. 

Why?

Despite the trauma of losing both her parents at a young age and being abused by both her stepmother and stepsisters, she remains kind, compassionate and strong completing all her chores with a positive spirit. She finds refuge in fantasy and by dreaming of a better life, she takes great care of those around her who return her favours. She is not even looking for the Prince Charming or for someone to save her, she is waiting for all her dreams to become reality. At the time when she almost lost all hopes after her stepsisters viciously attack her, she materialises a fantasy - the fairy godmother - who washes her tears and make her dream come true: to go to the ball and have a magical experience. At the ball, the prince finds her meandering in the hall and approach her for a dance. 
The dance with the Prince gives her an opportunity to dream furthermore about a complete different life made of love and delight. 
When she comes back to her home, her stepmother notices her day-dreaming dancing and twirling as she remembers her night. The Stepmother do her best to squash her dream by locking her into her room and stop her spirit shine through and bring forth all her desires. When the Prince helpers come to the house to try the shoes, Cinderella takes action to claim her dream with the help of all her spirited friends - so she can come out of the room and show that she has the glass delicate slipper.
The glass slippers are a reminder that as delicate, fragile our dream can be, as long as we walk in their direction, they will eventually come true.

What is your job you do?

What is your job you do? Where do your work? are probably the hardest questions to answer to in a short sentence. It is great when you have a title, it gives a splash of your awesomeness in the face of your interlocutor. I am 'Consultant Associate'. I am 'Customer InSight Officer'. I am 'Data analyst Manager'... ( in your face) . Where do I work? I am a flexi-travelling worker. I mainly work from home. BUT, I also work in various places in the Midlands (Leicester, Northampton), also London, I jet set to Paris and Amsterdam sometimes... ( splash in your face) ... Those two questions are set to gauge both interlocutors' status. It is quite sad, the longer the title and list of places you go to, the more you appear awesome. Truth to be told, I love working from home and have a family to come back to after a long day making decisions. In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?'  At least, you will connect mo...

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not  you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?
