![]() ![]() As a rule of thumb, I can have lots of stuff on the go all at once and can navigate varying priorities with ease. Well, suddenly, at the start of this week, at around 3pm on Monday to be more precise, it was like someone had flicked a switch on in my head and my brain suddenly kicked back into action and became agile again. So, where am I really going with this ‘seize the moment’ malarkey?!Īs previously mentioned, I’ve been feeling below par and have been questioning whether it was working too hard, illness, fitness or menopause-related. We did still manage to fit in quite a bit of stuff over the weekend – you know, trip to the tip, B&Q, food shopping. Not this past weekend! We were both too tired to go and took the opportunity to rest up instead. If you read my blog posts regularly, you’ll know that I love my parkrun. I love doing different things so we seized the opportunity at the time and it turned out to be a brilliant evening … we were home a lot later than planned. We were both exhausted, but friends had invited us a couple of weeks previously to see a touring light installation that was in Leicester city centre followed by a meal in a Japanese restaurant. The following evening, I was back in Leicestershire with Gareth. Including, rather ironically, one of the women who set up that very first networking group I was a member of too!Īnd as a real bonus, I discovered a few days later that the treatment I’d enjoyed would have cost me £120.00 … who doesn’t love a freebie? □ In addition to the treatment, it was also fab to catch up with old and new contacts. I loved it and it was most gratefully received and much needed after the last few weeks / months of feeling below par. I’m not shy … I happily entered the treatment room and had the most amazing cocoa oxygen treatment and thoroughly enjoyed the time spent on the treatment couch despite various people (who I couldn’t see due to the treatment mask / my eyes being closed) visiting the room. The second ticket to be drawn was mine – whoop, whoop! It was at that point that I realised that the treatment was to be carried out on the spot that evening and I was to be a ‘model’ so that those attending the networking evening could see the treatment taking place. Naturally, and maybe overly enthusiastically, I obtained my 5 tickets and duly deposited them individually into the fishbowls provided that represented the 6 different treatments they were offering as ‘prizes’. On arrival, in addition to the fab (no pun intended) drinks and nibbles, they were running a raffle to win treatments. I did do some shopping there afterwards to alleviate my guilt! I was, to be honest, knackered, and the SatNav didn’t exactly get me there on its first attempt, but arrive I did after abandoning my car in the Tesco carpark nearby. ![]() I attended a networking event a week ago with KuKu Connect at FAB Clinics in Loughborough. ![]() From there, my network grew and continues to do so the women I met and connected with back then have formed the backbone of the contacts that I have today. In 2015, I joined my first networking group, a local one that was for women in business, mainly sole traders, independents, and those working within the MLM sector (multi-level marketing, and NO, it’s NOT pyramid selling). If I am honest, it’s something that I had never really understood the value of until quite recently. I’m a member of a couple of networking organisations – most people in business are, or at least have some experience of networking. While I may have been feeling below par of late, I still seem to have managed to cram plenty of stuff into each and every day! Go on then – why not? Carpe Diem (seize the day, the moment, the opportunity)! ![]()
