adapting to unexpected events, building your life, changing the routes to your life, expanding your life, last post of my writing challenge
Hello and welcome! This is the last post as part of my 30 day challenge where I have been posting on this site daily and glad I did. This is it for my daily blogs and thank you for the follows and likes I have received and sorry to bombard your inbox of my posts I just wanted to see if I could do it and to grow my content more but now will go back to posting on this site once a week.
In this post I talking about Changing the Routes to your life from a brainstorm I did before I this challenge and I have already covered on this site about Changing the story of your life and journey which became an EBook check out Amazon.com and under the name Carrie Lee Holmes and making small changes to your life and to do that you do need to make decisions on the route to lead you to having a better life and build it up to an everlasting change.
I have taken different routes in my life like a complete career change to working in Butlins Bognor Regis, temping and then returning to work in London and Chessington etc, and glad I did because it what worked at the time. Now I am ready for a new set of challenges by taking further routes and expanding myself I am glad to have found writing again.
I am able to look at myself now and think “Your doing okay and stay on this route it is heading onto more good things and keeping my spirits high”.
Sometimes it means sitting down again and going back to the drawing board to take a different route and setting new goals.
Scrapping goals is okay as unplanned events can take over and so changing goals is not failure it is re-routing your plans and adapting them to unexpected avenues that have cropped up, and develop new skills and changing the view of your situation.
I have been lucky that I have worked for many organisations and now ready to expand even more and because I was in a Mentalhealth hospital for a month, it really made me re-order my life and made me more guarded and choose my next route to grow myself even further.
Many thanks for reading,

addressing your faults, being happy for others, building happiness, good relationships, self help blog
Hello and welcome! This is blog number 27 and in this post I am talking about Addressing my faults and Being Happy for others
This is someone who had many faults, I used to butt in when having a conversation. I do switch off which isn’t a fault as such but for some people it can be and why I didn’t continue to do driving lessons and have gotten jealous and begrudging. Being on the other side of that they are not good traits to have and once you are on the receiving end of such emotions how it can turn into something unworthy and anger from them, who do feel that way.
I see them also as bad habits and bad behaviour and its the question is, “Do you want people to be happy and living a dream and or unhappy?”
“Do you want anger from others as does it make you feel better when they are?”
Everyone deserves happiness weather you like them or not and I find its those that always complain and never satisfied and nothing pleases them.
“Do I want people to see me in this way?” Of course not. I want the world to be a better place and stop war if I could and end suffering.
I dont want to see anyone homeless or anyone being hurt where they ca’t defind themselves, who would want that?
There are people who are just unkind and always want you to see you fail and that makes me sad rather than anger cause it can spiral out of them being isolated and alone.
We all have fleurs but there are those that learn from it and those that don’t and feel they are always right all of the time and I am not afraid of saying that I am wromg and have in many ways but I still come out of it still standing and we will make mistakes and working on ourselves is important in being received by people for good and not bad. So setting boundaries and rules for yourself is the way.
Lets #BeKind and #BeSmart.

ambitions and dreams, creating fun in everyday life, fun childhood memories, the english coast, times in my life I like to remember
It was a day to remember when I look back on my life when I decided to make life changes I knew I could stick to, and I never thought that I would ever win or be successful in anything as I spent a lot of time as a kid day dreaming and wanting to be in a different place.
I would spend ours listening to music like my Dad did every Sunday and I do miss those days as it for summed up those times as not realising that this wasn’t gonna last for ever taken it in more.
As a child I was one of the smallest girls in the school and my son did play a part in my self confidence but you can’t help really in changing this and we are all different shapes and sizes.
What I enjoyed more was dancing as a kid and then later on it was football. I have always loved music and have songs that I still play depending on how I am feeling and brings back so many memories.
Being a child bought up in London, I am very much the city girl and I did lose my love for the city in which I was born and went down to the south coast to work and it was the best decision I made as I have some wonderful memories working there too. I would be out most evenings doing mainly split shifts but when I was put on a striaght shift from 8 to 4 it was brilliant and I would help in many different venues. I loved watching the circus they had on there.
I loved Clacton where I went to as a kid and it was always an ambition which I have spoken about before to work at a holiday camp and did. It is good to have these types of different things in your life as I have had a turbelent one sometimes but still packed for all good times and I loved going to the seaside to the British coast and often we don’t all get to see the english coast if working all year round.
So follow those dreams to create memories of your own.
Many thanks for reading,

building love around, Creating more happiness into your life, feeling calm and at peace, living in the moment, what we alreadt have
So we all want to be happy and have more but to do this you do have to look around to see what you have already got. So for me I spent two days looking after my son and he to me is everything and as much as he drives me up the wall he is the most important and same if I have anymore.
I have a roof over my head and it isn’t mine so for me now is to working towards finding a place of my own.
I was married yet I wasn’t happy and I had to face it, so I did and some may not have been happy in me doing so but I wasn’t in that place anymore and wanted more, so for me it is to grow new relations and keep in contact with the important people still in my life and form new ones.
There was a time I found a new love outdoors and that was taking on fundraising events doing running and walking and looking back at the medals I received for doing these was massive for me and now ready once again to do more. I love that I do still exercise and walking in many various places.
When it comes to my life at the moment it is an 8 being that I want to move on from where I currently live as stated above, but looking ahead to begin a fresh start, I don’t want my eggs to be in one basket so want to do many things. I would like to work in Mental health and do my bit via blogs but do more and I would like to also work in music and on TV too.
So, continue going through my current life I know I have much more to give and so do you.
#Believeinyourself and it will happen.

being a good friend, everyonecanbuildacastle.wordpress.com, getting to know other people, Relationships, self help, supporting others
On the way back from a Mother and Toddler group I checked out one of the buses which go passed the station for when I started a new job. This was about 7 years ago.
At the bus stop this lady approached and she wanted to see Henry and started shaking him not roughly and she got a bit worried because he was zonked out, and says “Whats the matter he woke wake up” and so I applied “He’s okay just a sleep” and I didn’t get alarmed but was sad for her as she must have witness a child not waking up hence why she panicked.
She did look like she had a few too many alcoholic drinks but not knowing her I didn’t get cross and just moved on. I don’t know this lady and it is surprising how people can be having more of a bad time to worry for other people and children.
We do need to be respectful as noone knows what someones been through to be alarmed, and she did look like she had troubles and so if you see someone who is different to the norm, try not to judge because they are doing it based on their life. If they wish to talk then let them.
I didn’t feel threatened by this lady’s actions and could see the anxiety she had and we do need to stop judging people.
So #BeKInd and #staystrong.

being prepared of unplanned events, how to handle bad days, life coaching blog, mishaps, prevention, self help blog
First of all Thank you for your feedback I have had so far. It really means the world to me and this is Day 20 of my 30 day blog challenge whereby I have been blogging on this site once a day for 30 days.
I have written similar blog like this, How to handle days when it all goe tits up and today it is “When things go tits up”, like missing your train, forgetting your mobile and having to go back and get it, you’ve fallen down a man hole in the street, go soaked in the rain and no umbrella. I am a person where it is “More or nothing” kid of a gal and when it goes wrong it does.
My son this week wasn’t well and felt sick at school, so thankfully I was contacted to pick him up, Being a mum you will have to do that too at some point and often we will stressed because you have taken him school and seemed okay and then due to the heat can have a full blown meltdown, without your control.
Remember it will pass its that kids show their emotions more than us adults and so they will find it hard in the heat, so when he got in we played out in the garden cause he just needed fresh air and was done, and went back to school next day and just in case I got there early to pick him up again as he has now finished school for the summer, and took him as promised the day before, o the train and then he wanted to get on a bus and we did that too.
Kids will get sick and I as a child was often sick. Anything going around I caught luckily I have been well through the COVID pandemic, but are more vulnerable caue of their immune systems still developing. Its life and so I focus on “What can I do to help prevent this” rather than I don’t know what to do. Check out my new parenting blog about blog I wrote on my site: https://theparentingadventurestipsandtricks.wordpress.com called Children and being sick.
Spend time reflecting over the misshap if it plays on your mind and what could you have done differently and go through list of prevention. Pehaps giving kids a multi-vitamin each day to help their immune systems, perhaps have two phones a home one and a mobile so the school can call both.
Its spending time to evaluate and measure how bad it was. What helped and what didn’t.
So, just breath and honestly do what you can and prepare for things that give you a bad day.
Many thanks for reading,

blog 18 of 30 day challenge, creating abundance, creating dreams and promises, self belief, self help post
Hello and welcome to a new blog and posting on this blog site for 30 days and it is Day 18 and in this blog I am talking about Creating Dreams and Promises to yourself.
To become the person you want to be often is already there but it has taken a while for you to see it. I live by wanting to be the best version of myself and want to help others to do the same. We often can fear that we aren’t good enough and these feelings can grow to stop us in our tracks and standing still for to long can drive us all crazy.
When you have created dreams and promises have them displayed so you can remember them and take picture on your phone and you can read the and change them again as you continue to work towards them.
Have regular meeting with people who are helping you of any events that have cropped up and you need support in dealing with them, and never fear wanting help from others.
Remember we all have the right to be a success and so remember to set goals for you and others supporting you and keep it forever growing.
Many thanks for reading,

be kind to yourself and others, being happy within yourself, being positive, life coaching blog, looking after yourself, stop judging
Commenting on someones weight, commenting on somebody’s life and commenting on someones dreams.
Has this been you? I hate those who judge other people and I have caught myself from doing so and it is “Who are you to judge?” it is not up to me and people say “Yeah in an ideal world” but do you have to judge other people? Getting to know people, yes, listening to people, yes and seeing the big picture of what is truly going on in someones life, yes.
There is a 10 commardment of don’t judge those on how you wouldn’t like them to judge you.
Yet people still do it and it seeing it, it’s their actual problem not the person they are judging and in some way they get satisfaction from that.
It is often because it feels good to throw a hurt at someone when it goes for those that judge and making assumptions about people yet they haven’t given that person a chance to be heard yet they expect others just be quiet and its looking down on people for no real reason.
There are people who don’t like my approach in being laid back and flexible, but I have seen better things in doing so and I am a open minded person which gets judged a lot of too.
I am not someone who follows always on how someone else lives but I set standards for myself as I can says I don’t know everything yet in some peoples mind it is “Well you should?” There are things that I am good at like writing and the feedback has been an eye opener and I know that my words are doing more than just words but they do have meaning and when began blogging had no idea of whow they would be received.
So, for me it is:
Get to know that peron who you see. I always go on if they are good and lovely for real its when you actually meet them that counts and you can tell from 5 words if they are really a nice person or not and their body language too.
If you feel that you have been judged then ask them “Why are you judging me?” and be open to then give then a sense of control still but make it clear you have boundaries and you don’t like to be judged and you’ll find if you do it, they are the ones who will begin screaming and shouting.
So look after yourself and #BeKind to yourself too.
