So what do you have in common with a race car?
Not a lot you might think. Except...
This car is drifting. Drifting is a manoeuvre that involves kicking out the back end of the vehicle and keeping control whilst essentially travelling sideways, against the intended motion of the vehicle.
As I write this I am curled up in a blanket on the sofa with my dog Jasper at my feet. He is guarding me, he knows something has upset me but not what, so he guards me from what could have hurt me.
I have had an amazing week; done things that I hadn't expected to achieve, worked hard, got lots of 'things' done and had lots of breakthroughs myself, with my private clients and with women in my community more generally.
There is a side to achievement that no one tells you about at school.
Touching a nerve... aka why some people thing I'm a bitch.
Well ouch.
I sent a pretty direct email yesterday and, well if what I received wasn't quite a torrent of abuse, it was approaching it.
How many times in your life have you been told that you're unreasonable, that you want too much, that you expect too much?
It's supposedly the curse of millennials; that we were raised with no concept of our own fallibility, of our limits or lack, and some will tell you that it's everything that's wrong with Generation Millennial; 'oh they got trophies just for taking part, they don't understand the value of true hard work'.
(often said by a baby boomer with an expanding waist line and receding hairline, but I generalise and snark)
This is my love note to you.
This year has been a tumultuous one for most of the world. Political shifts, the death of so many beloved people, a sense that we are heading into new and unknown territory.
On the home front, I can guarantee that there have been tough times for you too my lovely. Moments you thought might break you, situations that had you thinking 'is this really it? Is this all?'.
