Winter came and went very quickly for my family - we spent the bulk of it finishing renovations on our beloved first home, deciding to relocate the lot of us to the Waikato, selling said home - and creating an expansive vision for our second home. I had jokingly written in my journal at the start of the year that I wanted to be living in a 'new home' by the end of the year - then commented to W that with all this renovating, our home would be practically new by the end. Remember, words can set an intention!! I did not expect that I would be living in a huge 'new' home by October!! It's only 6 years old so, compared to something built in 1953, it's fairly new!!
So we are settling into sunny warm Cambridge with the spring... may the wind stop blowing, and the sun come out to stay!
I hope the sun is shining where you are...

Integrity
Well, it's hard to believe over a year has flown since I was last here. Is it the autumnal (love that word!) weather that returns me to my creative heart, after it has been filled by summer sunshine? Doesn't matter why I am back here - I just am ;o)
My very week has been lived quite differently to most: I've practised being in the moment, without worry or indecision (I know, I know.. quite un-Cheryl-like!) and I am finding it easy to practise integrity - doing what I say I am going to do.
Integrity is what I think of as one of 'my words'... It's a word that was first discussed with me by a mentor trainer when I was a fledgling Customer Service trainer back in the day (at DHL), and I use it as an indicator along my journey. Perhaps that's weird, but being around people with integrity, and reminding myself to 'do what I say I'm doing to do' has been my way forward. Of course I do forget sometimes.
Today I am going to act with integrity and take my son and his best-friend-who's-practically-his-cousin to a Lego-building competition. Lego is his favourite thing, and he's going to go to a place where other like-minded souls will be creating, and he's going to have one of his favourite creative people by his side.. Then they are going to the Pirate movie (?? not sure of actual title). His other favourite thing is claymation and stop-motion movies. What a delicious day he will have! Therefore, what a delicious day I will have (and did I mention that the Lego competition is at Moore Wilsons in Wellington? Gosh, what a coincidence that Madder&Rouge is right over the road... and Cafe Laffare ... )
Enjoy your Friday the 13th. I know I am already, C
