Since a child who didn’t speak at the beginning of my life until I was 4 years old had ambition. I loved music and dance. I dreamed of being on radio and when I left school looked into doing hospital radio but had no idea how to go about it. Now at 48 I am now a presenter for Epsom Hospital radio and yes I get nervous and have self doubt but keep going and now been doing the radio for two years.

I like working hard and the things I love to do. I have had jobs that didn’t lead anywhere but helped me with my life to figure out what I wanted to do next. I look at Madonna she didn’t become successful until she was in her 30’s but kept going and still going. She has been making music for 40 years. She had bad press, fallen on stage and sang out of tune but keeps going.

So go through your achievements. What got you there?

I look after my son and my focus was getting a school. Myself and my mum dug deep and he is now in a school and loves it after not getting a place but was consistent and yes it was stressful but, would I do it again if it meant getting my son a good education? Yes.

The point is keep going. You do have to fight battles and you will find that people change towards you when you have your life together but that is their problem and ignore the critters and keep going.

I discovered blog writing after reading a book and it was a book taking the micky out of WAGS and I thought I give it a try ad write a blog and now on WordPress have managed to reach 10,000 all time views on many of these sites and received good amount of views on my Google blogs and I enjoy it. I have always wanted to write a book and when my son was born in 2013 I did just that and published my first book about parenting and this year published my 5th book. I enjoy it so much.

There is more I want to do and love seeing my life grow. I am not earning millions but that no longer matters. I am in a nice home, which I share with my husband and son and in a good place and that is what matters and so What Matters to you?

#Spend time to reflect on your life. My goal as I share this been focusing on not being on screens for too long. This was because I had a migraine, twice as I edit this blog that I had forgotten about. Been focusing on my son enjoying the school summer holidays. Feeling good is the key and not feeling hard done by, because something hasn’t worked out or seen it is harder than what we think.

If you like his blog put in the comments, keep going.

Many thanks for reading,
