Inspiration

During the Olympics some of my family were glued to the tv, they loved it. My husband watched it from the opening ceremony to the closing ceremony apart from the hours he was at work of course.
Me on the other hand could take it or leave it, I'm not a big sports fan and couldn't help but think "how much money, when normal families are struggling to feed themselves." I did watch some bits but have to say it never really bowled me over, my interest was never really there.
However, tonight the Paralympic's start and I'm actually looking forward to it! I'm sure this is mainly due to the amazingly inspirational tv advert. It's amazing...the music, the images and the whole brilliance of the Paralympic's this year.
So although I'm still not interested in sport and am still slightly grumpy about the amout of money the Olympics got I feel inspired to watch some, properly watch some, put my sewing down and sit and concentrate.
At a time when I feel inspired through my work and Fairyknowz moving forward I will definitely be watching the opening ceremony :-)
I wonder how many others will...

Things need to change

I wish I could say this is what I told myself...but I didn't, I can't have the satisfaction of saying it :-D
They just did....change..or have started too :-)
I read a review for a book written by Joanne Dewberry on a website and needed to buy it, the snippet made perfect sense and was something someone had mentioned to me before but I'd not really taken any notice of after all being a mum and trying to start a business is hectic...I just went with the flow :-)
Anyway I've bought the book and am still reading so will let you know in due course.....but will say it's already making things change. I am finally in control of moving things forward and realise that I might actually be good at what I do :-)
Along the way I looked at her Facebook page www.facebook.com/joannedewberry.co.uk it's well worth a look and has great advice and links. From my mooching :-) I got "Blogging for business by Joanne Dewberry.co.uk and what an eye opener, if like me you have a blog set up, was enthusiastic and then wasn't sure what to write then this is for you! It gave me some great tips and things I'd never even thought about. It's not too long and is cut into easy sections, so for a busy mum it's great.
I can see lots of Fairyknowz blogs from now on :-)
Let me know how you think I'm doing :-)
