a change of plan...


Well it has certainly been a while and I have really missed blogging. As it happens I’ve had a bit of a life changing time. I always promised myself if I was going to write a blog, I would write it openly and honestly, so here goes. 

Last year I found myself stuck in a rut. My main two dreams when I was little was to become a photographer and have my own horse and I had achieved both. Amazing, I know, and these are and will always remain a big part of my life, but I found myself wanting more. I’ve never been someone to stay in one place too long. I love meeting new people, making new memories and taking myself out of my comfort zone. Challenging yourself actually gets quite addictive once you start. 

In 2014, I knew I wanted to travel, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Travel may mean exploring various places, but I will be spending my summer in Greece. I am so excited to explore a new place and meet new people. I’m leaving all of my anxieties behind and I’m determined to have the time of my life. 

If you’re going through a tough time, or feeling a bit lost, every thing will be ok. I promise. 

I guess what I'm trying to say, is that changing your dreams or wanting more from your life is not a bad thing. 




Focus on what you want and you will get it

If you have an idea, it is up to you to make it happen. If you are feeling unhappy, believe in yourself and you will soon find your happiness in ways you never thought possible and you will be even more appreciative because of it.  

Don’t be afraid of changing paths

There are no right or wrong paths to take in life. You have to do what is right for you. Take risks and learn lessons. If new opportunities come your way, grab them with both hands, even if it’s something you’ve never considered before. 

Be Selfish

Do things for you. There will always be people trying to hold you back, but if it’s something you truly want, go for it. Don’t let other people's regrets become your regrets. 

Be kind to yourself 

Allow yourself the life you deserve and never settle for anything less. Learn from failures and appreciate your successes.

Ruby's Tale




Heeeey,

I'm back with a photography post yay.

This time starring the lovely Ruby and her mummy Lucy.

We ventured into a nearby forest, and Ruby had a wonderful time collecting twigs and using them as drum sticks. We also found a huge tree that had fallen over, which we used to climb and sit on. It's amazing looking at trees and imagining how long they have been there for. We tried out some different outfits and I loved Ruby's array of hats. All in all, it was a lovely afternoon and here is a preview of what we got up to...

Don't be afraid of the distance between your dreams and reality...


Heeey,


Wow, 2014 is shaping up to be everything I dreamed it would be, and more!

I am sitting here pausing as I type, with a sudden over whelming feeling, that for once, everything is going MY way. If you really want something, you have to make it happen and that is the decision I chose to make. 

I love those epiphany moments, when things start clicking into place, and one of mine was when I read the following quote.

























At the end of 2013, I knew exactly what I wanted from 2014, and as the year started I suddenly felt really really scared that my dreams, were actually in touching distance. I think at that stage it’s easy to, and I truly believe some people do, back away through lack of self belief or excuses. Well this time I really believed I deserved it and my dreams are now turning in to firm plans.

I have had the most amazing support from my friends, and I am so grateful. 

To you readers, I hope you’re making your dreams into plans too! When you get to the finish line, it’s the best feeling ever. If you’re going through a tough time, don’t give up! Every thing will come good in the end, that I can promise you.
