Over 8 months ago in February 2023, ( published retrospectively from Linkedin!) I quit my job in big pharma to take some time and focus on my health and my family. Over two months ago I gave birth to my second daughter.
Last month, I completed my first course in Gemmology where I have taken a keen new interest in exploring the world of gems and jewellery.

Life can show you many new avenues if you follow its lead.

I know I speak from a position of privilege, with the ability to quit my full time job and focus on the areas of my life that needed focus at this moment in time.

There was also a time though, where I was focusing on it all – family, career and self-development. Something that many of us do on a daily basis.

The truth is that every decision we make has consequences – some great and some not so great.

And if we can make a small decision every day toward our betterment, the better we will be for it, down the line.

I am not sure what life will show me next, but what I do know is that I am in control of what I learn, and how I develop.

So if you were doubting yourself today, if you are worn out from your full time job or taking care of the family..

Please try to take a few minutes from your day and just focus on YOU. Focus on something that will develop YOU, as small as that step may be, for today.

Continue to take those small steps to take YOURSELF further.
You have full control over this.

Life will then continue to show you what can become.
