You know when people say what would you tell your younger self if you had the chance? I often find myself sitting thinking about this, what would I tell her but also when in time would I go back to? Also how long would I have to chat with them because that might impact the message too.
No matter who you are we all have regrets, some have more or bigger regrets than others, but I also often think how some of the things that people expect you to regret were lessons and shaped the next version of you, so if you regret them you wouldn’t be who you are today.
I could list regrets hat might form the messages I would give me earlier self, but I think I would go back to myself in 1996 and tell myself that the promise I made to the universe about giving to others if I survived, I kept, in lots of ways, but certainly 29 years later I was still keeping it. Integr8archery CIC certainly was a conduit to helping me reach so many different types of people in many different settings.
So 161 weeks – 3 years and 5 weeks – certainly show me that 1 person with the support of others can support many!
Since the 3rd birthday I have been to Dunster which I always love, complete some more judging days, delivered more Archery England Federation Cross award, handed in my notice at work ready to start my new job on the 1/9/25 and made plans to claim back my own archery which has suffered when I simply had to give somewhere. My archery is no less important than that of others so why I allowed it to be dropped remains a mystery to me.
The weekend saw me support a number of people from afar, have to love technology for that because I cannot always be on a range in person and I would have to chose who gets support and who doesn’t, so technology allows me to be everywhere when I am needed.
In the 5 weeks since we ate cake for 3 years we have wound down the schools and education groups for the summer holidays, it was good to celebrate the last few weeks and see how some of the young people who have shot much of that academic year have progressed 🥳
Held a day at KIngswood Urban Development Project, I always enjoy my time here and this was another awesome day of laughter and fun.
Attended lots of meetings! From safeguarding to planning and reviewing projects and creating new ideas with new groups.
I spoke with someone at weekend who was struggling with changes, we all do, and I certainly have had to adapt to my physical issues numerous times and have blogged about these changes numerous times but they always come in handing when trying to show someone they are not alone, with this in mind some of the very important messages are here:
There is some overlap but they will give you some idea of what I have struggled with when facing change and how I think it’s our own choice how we measure success and not that of others.
You can go through my posts and blogs, or you can search and I do try to categorise like blog with a message or health etc. Feel free to trawl and you might find something that is interesting or useful, I make no promises though 🤣
But remember if you are doubting yourself, message me I am bright, crazy cheerful and will be one of your biggest cheerleaders ❤️🏹
