This wasn't actually something I was going to share on my blog, I posted it on my Facebook page and I've had such a huge response to it that I thought I really should share it here, I know some of you aren't on Facebook but have been with me since the beginning of my journey and this, I think, is a big part of it! (apologies if you are on facebook and have already seen this, I will be posting up something shiny new tomorrow :o) )
around
3 years ago, a friend was telling me how proud she was after having a
baby, she asked me what I was most proud of, and do you know, despite
having some fab jobs, travelling a bit, getting married (and
subsequently escaping an abusive relationship that had lasted most of my
adult life and making a new start for myself) I couldn't think of
anything, not one single thing, I just cried...
Today,
3 years on from that, after watching my business grow 500% in the last 7
months, growing my product range from 2 products to over 400 (with
about another 400 to come - so far!) working 18 hour+ days 7 days a
week, growing my little team to 20 people and doing all the things I
ever dreamed of, drawing, writing, creating, being able to share, on TV
and in magazines, planning huge things for the coming year and having my
best ever month in anything I've done, this November, (all with the
help of some wonderful people of course) I am, dare I say it, for quite
possibly the first time in my adult life, a tiny bit proud of myself...
Thank you for dropping by today

And rightly so. We all choose different paths which is the beauty of us all, and think of all the joy you and your products have bought to others
