Hi there
Thanks for popping in. First day back in the office today. Went well. Enjoyed seeing everyone. Felt good to be back in the saddle. It’s the first day I have really felt well, not wiped out. Like we’ve turned a corner. So grateful!
Nearly forgot to blog though, because I was so busy doing nothing! Well, one eye on a jigsaw puzzle and the other watching Jack Whitehall – Travels with my Father. Blimming funny.
I have a superb quote, popularly associated with Albert Camus, which Dave shared with me, and which I would like to share with you…
It’s worth a double read, at the very least.
“My dear,
Albert Camus +
in the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that
in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me,
within me there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Isn’t that powerful? And on that happy note, I shall go to bed, because tomorrow I’m on drawing duty! Leonie, Sam and I are hatching a team plan. All very exciting and very motivating; just what the Doctor ordered. I also spoke at length to another super talented friend of mine, Tina Cox. She and I are also planning ahead to the Spa Parchment Retreat. I feel very lucky to have these creative friends in my life, I really do. And they were just waiting patiently, until I was ready to rock again.
Actually, looking at these photos reminds me: I must tell you about the Open Days which are looming in June! Biggest event in the Clarity Calendar. Especially this year, since we’re celebrating 30 years of being in business!
Where? Ditton Community Centre, near Maidstone Kent
When? Friday 9th June and Saturday 10th June
Tickets? Go on sale this week. £8 per day.
It really IS a celebration of all things Clarity. And we’re already making birthday plans…
Love always,
