And so we say goodnight and goodbye to 2015. How was it for you?
Bizarrely, although 2014 was infinitely more financially challenging - it just radiated brilliance. Surprise trips and a summer of sunshine made it memorable, with 2015 somehow trailing in it's wake. And yet, I made more in roads in my career than I had ever hoped for; I shared many brilliant moments with people I love and I had the joy for being able to be much more present for my kids than in any other year before.
What I have leant without question is that whilst money doesn't make you happy - it sure is lovely not to have worry over every single pound. That whilst eating well and exercising do no harm to the body - the place they help the most is the mind. That opportunities abound - if you start to create them for yourself. Most of all, I have realised - take no one for granted - even yourself and your health.
What else?
- I have also learnt that I am no baker - but that is why Waitrose make fairy cakes that you can add a topping to and a choc button and voila! Home baking CM stylee.
- That you are lucky with kids to get 5 minutes to yourself. Which is why next year I must step away from more social media and go for long walks instead. Headspace is an underestimated joy....
- South Cross is the best gin I have ever had the joy to taste - and if you ever wonder what to buy me - look no further than it....
- That a trip home to Ireland and a walk by the sea sorts out any head...
- That letting go of hate makes you lighter than any diet...
- A spirilizer creates endless possibilities... as long as you like courgettes...
- Most folk who are wealthy are simply so because they never buy a round...
- That if you can't quite do it - FAKE it until you MAKE it...
- There are no friendlier folk on earth than the Irish - but sure, you knew that anyway...
- Series 2 of The Affair was even better than series 1
- Most of all listen to your gut - if it don't feel right, it aint.
So, I must away and start swallowing gin like prohibition starts at midnight - and all that is left to do is wish you all a wonderful, inspiring, challenging and enlightening 2016.
Keep her lit!
