Paying it forward

Paying it forward

Last year I was invited to the win conference and because I was not in the best place financially, I just did not go or maybe it just was not meant to be, as the universe says you are where you need to be in this world.

This year I excepted the pay it forward and it was held online, which for me was good, I had the pleasure of joining in but from the comfort of my own home. When it started I actually thought ok here we go, just another conference.

Well, that was an understatement, The conference started with a song and at that point, I felt this may be a little different. The next speaker that spoke made me feel that having a story that can help people is the most powerful thing on earth. Using your story was important why of helping others because this is how changes are made. The speaker was Baroness Beverly Hughs, everything about this women had grace and an air of elegance and it was not only a delight to listen to her speak I heard every word with integrity.

I then had to go and jump on another zoom call so I missed the next few speakers, the next person whos talk made me think was Rose Marley. I have never meant Rose before but I have been to her amazing build that is a hub for creatives, her story of disruption and owning that quality made me feel a little empowered. Roses talk was followed by Dr Aruba, helped reduce gun crime in Moss-side and build some bridges with the community. The part of her talk that I related to the most was when she spoke about speaking up at the table where the change happens. It was at this point that I asked myself why did I not get involved in this last year, but again we are where we should be in this world.

The last women that really blew me away were the last who came on and had everyone up dancing and standing into their sexual power, when she arrived on the screen it was wow who is she.... her energy was electric it made me think about my feminine side while also making me think about my appearance and how I show up for myself every day. At that point, I kind of realised that I had safely looked the same for the past 20 years and in the 10 minutes I decided to make a change and find my feminine power.

All the women and speech were amazing and everyone spoke with great passion about their cause and their purpose. What I would say is the importance of paying it forward for women who can not access these conferences due to funds. It works it really works and if you can, do it because there may be a woman

who can not access this event who like myself needed to join, sit and listen! as a result, I have now cut my hair and changed the colour after the liberation I felt from the inspiration of that conference, so thank you to my pay it forward posse I really appreciate you, you have helped me on my journey of change.

What is has made me mind full of, is to remember to pay it forward when I can. xx

Do we underestimate the benefits of exercise?

 Do we underestimate the benefits of exercising?  I think if you have never really exercised and it has not really been your thing. In some cases, some people have never really had to because they have always been naturally slim. It's possible to think it's those people who have met the love of their life gotten got married become comfortable started a family and before they knew it they have piled on the pounds. The other person would be the person who has always been that child that has battled with his or her weight. Whoever it is no one can ever deny that high you get from exercising. When you first start its hard the time does not go quick enough your always watching the clock having to stop for more breaks, or is that just me? maybe! Anyway here is what happens to me and what I experience when I have been exercising.  When I start I want to stop I a constantly looking in the mirror to see if my body has changed.

Basic needs

  Imagine a world where volunteers had their basic needs met, how many more people would and could volunteer? I have a why, but I need your help to get that idea heard by the people who can make that difference. I have volunteered for a few organisations over the years, which I have enjoyed while I have not been working and its been great it really has, I love giving back, however in that time I have also struggled and although you do get a love to shop voucher and you travel cost covered, would it not be nice to have some of your bills covered? I know what some people are thinking now, get a job? and yes if life where that simple some of us would do just that, but actually it isn't and some can't, so they volunteers, to help and give back. Would it not be great to have the option, so you do not have to struggle while you help someone else out. It is nice to get the colouring book or the pens that amount to £50.00 would it not be great to have that money to top up your electric
