When will I turn into Wonder Woman?



From the very first time that I saw Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, I was in awe.

I was born in the 1970's and Saturday television for me, was all about this beautiful, strong, butt-kicking woman who I really wanted to be!

Role model, or hero? It doesn't matter really does it? She fought for what is right, and intimidated the baddies and had them pay for their crimes. What an inspiration for a young girl?

I'm still spinning, and I like to think that every year, a little piece of me is more like my hero. If you don't aspire to be the greatest, then how will it ever happen?

I will keep spinning, for the rest of my life if I have to, because that goal hasn't been reached yet, and so I continue to be the best I can be, I am currently my own version of Wonder Woman, and just maybe I have a few qualities or skills that the original didn't!

The BIG point is, follow your dreams, your goals, don't let life situations or genetics get in your way! I know, I set the bar extremely high from a very young age, but why change it?

There is ALWAYS HOPE, and when you are as prepared as I am to put the work in, then what's the problem? Yep, there isn't one!

WHO was your first hero?
WHO did you aspire to be?
What have you always strived for?
ALWAYS keep those hopes and dreams alive, and NEVER GIVE UP!

How ditching the booze can create a 'Happily Ever After!'

  On Saturday 20th July 2024 me and my husband will be celebrating one whole year of marriage. It's a wondrous thing, especially as I didn't even believe that true LOVE existed four years ago. How on earth did that happen? I can tell you, well part of the story at least, the other part was that I hadn't yet met my soulmate, but the journey began before I met Ryan, it was how I got to know myself. For most of my life I have struggled with self-belief. I wasn't confident growing up, although seemingly, on the surface I appear to have all the confidence of a big CAT on the prowl, in reality, it was all just a big ACT. I have battled with an eating disorder, then once I had tamed that beast (sort of) alcohol became my friend (or so I thought). I didn't have to face up to the reality of who I was and where I was going when I was in the pub with my 'so called friends.' It was escapism. It couldn't last forever if you want to live a long, happy and healthy life...

Get rid of unwanted stress.

 How well do you manage stress? Are you one of those chilled out people who breeze through life not worrying about things? Or are you constantly on edge wondering how to resolve the next stressful situation? Stress is a natural part of life, but the more advanced we have become, the more we have to worry about. When previously all we had to worry about was hunting our next meal and making sure we had enough heat and water for the family, that would have been stress enough, but now we have endless lists of things to worry about. Have I done the right thing at work? Have I paid the rent? Is the car working properly? Has the dog has its vaccinations? Is Auntie Beryl okay as I haven't heard from her? Have the kids got the right technology so they don't get beaten up at school? Am I wearing the latest fashion so that I will fit in? Have I got enough money for food for the next week?  The list is seemingly endless and these little stresses all build up over time, eventually leading ...

Nostalgia!

  TODAY would have been my wonderful Dad's Birthday, he would have been 78 years old, sadly he passed away at only 54 years old, from a brain tumour. He was ridiculously fit, ate well, did all the good things, but sadly that didn't stop him from getting poorly.  NOW, that doesn't mean, 'well I may as well do all the bad things if that can happen!' It doesn't work like that. You STILL need to do ALL the good things, good nutrition, exercise, proper sleep, laughter, all the things. Then you can guarantee a quality life, no matter how long it is. THIS week on my MINDFULNESS MONDAY post on social media, I spoke about nostalgia. It was my husband's birthday on Monday, and I was also thinking of my Dad's birthday too. Then it got me thinking about birthdays in the past, how they were celebrated, and all the fun we had. I like to visit the past from time to time, I don't like to live there, to dwell there, but I like to remind myself of the good things, and...
