You know me – practical, commercially focussed and with eyes firmly on the end goal. So why on earth would I want to spend Saturday – my birthday – being all woo woo and working on myself?
Because I feel it’s time. Because DDT went to something similar and it had a profound effect upon her. Because I have looked at the writers who will be talking and like what they have to say. Because I think that I need to take some time, to look after myself, to nurture myself. Because last year, and the pneumonia that I got and the subsequent infections, was the biggest wake up call possible. It was a sign that I needed to start looking after myself more. So, when I happened upon this, I spoke to my friend Laura Husson and asked her to come with me. She can’t make it, but really wanted to come. So I parked it. I decided I wouldn’t go. And then, a few days later I was thinking about it again, and asked a few friends if anyone was free.
This is the point at which The Barrow steps forward and tells me she’ll come with me. I was so happy. I felt it was a sign as well – because she’s just as committed to her life and family as I am, and totally deserves the opportunity to unplug and recharge herself, so that she can crack on with everything that she juggles so well.
So. That’s that. But not quite. I decided to email the organisers and ask if we could attend and document the event, to share what we learn and to encourage other people to cultivate and nurture themselves. And guess what? They only went and said yes. So to me, it’s a sign, sign and even more of a sign that I should do this. Randomly, surreally, taking a leap into the unknown, on Saturday. On my birthday. And to then return home to my family and have a curry with them, whilst watching Strictly. I can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday.
