An important note on guilt

An important note on guilt

I can’t help but feel sad sometimes because I can hardly ever be one of mums who helps on school trips and on days like tomorrow, I won’t make their ‘cultural day’ because I’ll be speaking at a conference.

I know there will be upside down smiles in the morning when they are reminder I won’t be there, but, as I say when it comes to food, GUILT SERVES NO VALUE.

The boys do however understand the ins and outs of running a business, they understand how an online shop works, they understand how you have the power as one person to have a positive impact on the world. 

They also understand that you have to fight for what you believe in.

“I’m going to write a book for people to read just like yours mummy”

Zac made me print a copy of his book for everyone in his class, he wanted others to enjoy reading as much as he does. When I was with him sorting his book, I was 100% present, 100% engaged, something I’ve had to work really hard to do and it really works when it comes to building connection.

Just a message to those of you out there who juggle the juggle and often feel torn apart by some of the decisions you make - you’re doing a great job and try not to be too hard on yourself.

There’s no perfect way to manage this life.
