I can’t quite believe it, but this year I’m celebrating 7 years as a Freelance Social Media Consultant. When I first launched my own business, in my wildest dreams I didn’t dare imagine celebrating this anniversary.
Time has absolutely flown by!
Seeing the Northern Lights in London – a once in a lifetime experience

Motivation Monday: Making your day extraordinary
Ever thought about making your day extraordinary? It’s so very easy to sink into the daily grind no matter which country you live in; alarm goes off, snooze too much, jump out of bed in a panic, breakfast, shower, brush teeth, pick something to wear, get stuck under an armpit on the tube, debate whether to salad or not to salad for lunch, gossip by the water cooler, catch up on your favourite blogs, dream of holidays, get stuck under a sweatier armpit on your commute, feel gym guilt & promise to go tomorrow, eat dinner, watch the box and moan about how rubbish it is, go to bed too late.
It’s even boring reading about it – basically sleep, eat, rinse, repeat. Sadly, most of the above needs to be done anyway, so why not do it with a bit of verve?
The Bulford Kiwi – a 130m tall piece of Graffiti near Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Forget the Westbury White Horse in Oxfordshire or the Cerne Abbas Giant over Dorset both cut into the hillsides by the Celts (possibly dating back to 500BC) as pagan worship to their gods; a giant Kiwi was dug into the rolling hills above Bulford Army base just after World War One and attracts curious locals and crazy visitors to this day.
