Handing over to Rachel, who diverts from weddings to give us some wise words today...
I was going to write something about weddings. I was going to tell you all about the mammoth amount of planning I’ve done over the last week (which may or may not be a little white lie), go through some of the decisions we’ve made and some of the things that have made me want to give it all up and run away to a little chapel in Italy. But then when I sat down to write it, I couldn’t find the words because whilst I’ve thrown myself into planning this week (mainly because I’m scaring myself a little bit silly that it’s now only 23 weeks to go and not some number that I can’t even comprehend) there’s a lot of other stuff going on that takes over.
Last week I wrote about trying to fit in wedding planning around real life - work, that thing called Christmas, etc – and then my friend got sick, I wasn’t feeling too clever, I read/heard about some tweets and Facebook statuses that made me a little bit angry and I thought that we needed this...
Women Who Change The World – Ashley Rice
There are women who make things better...simply by showing up.There are women who make things happen.There are women who make their way.There are women who make a difference.And women who make us smile.There are women of wit and wisdom who – through strength and courage – make it through.There are women who change the world every day...women like you.
So yes, it’s cheating because I’m using someone else’s words to say what I want to say but someone gave me this as a bookmark when I left my last job and every time I read it I take a deep breath and just carry the hell on.
No matter who you are, whether life is great at the moment or you just want to hide in a dark room so you don’t have to be strong anymore. We’re great, aren’t we?
P.S If you’re a guy, substitute the words...it’s ok, I’ll let you. Just this once.
