🎇New Years Eve 🎆 Sitting & Reflecting on another year of Highs & Lows, but this time with a twist 🌪️ I had one of my best years in over a decade, possibly my best year ever👌 Had to make some tough decisions this year about my future, but they were well worth all the stress, sleepless nights & crazy times 🤪 Leaving the place I had known all my life, leaving friends & family behind, to start a new life on the South West Coast, bit of a difference to just outside North London 🤣### I was going to start a new life, 160 miles away, where I knew no one, no friends, no family, I was nervous, everything seemed to go wrong when I was meant to leave, friends telling me that I just wasn’t going to leave, even for a second I wondered if it was a sign saying “it wasn’t meant to be”, but I wasn’t going to give up on my dream to live by the South West coast, to live by the sea 🌊 So after a month of delays, I finally moved, believe it or not, I had only visited Lyme Regis once earlier in the year by chance, when I was doing some work in Dorset & Devon, I literally moved on a whim & hoped for the best 😂 It was definitely a culture shock 😮 # It has truly been the best 8 months I could ask for, I have met new friends, swam with the lone dolphin 🐬 that blessed us for a few months, but has now moved on, swam with our lone seal 🦭 a few times, swim 🏊‍♀️ in the sea 🌊 daily, even in this cold 🥶 weather, which is more of a dip than a swim 😂. Taught myself to paddle board, which I love & kayak when it’s a bit choppier 😂. I get to walk my dog 🐶 on the beach 🏝️ everyday We built a new life here. I’m so much happier & can call Lyme our home. The Community is amazing with so much going on. I even got to Fossil Hunt on Christmas Day🎄 mad!!! The only downside is the tourists, you can’t get away from them 😂 I can now 💯 focus on my work, being in a happy place. I know exactly the roadmap, to get be, to where I need to be, to achieve the goals I have set for 2026 👌 I also now have a better work life balance. I still work really hard, but when I want to spend my summer evenings or weekends by the beach 🏝️ #or in the sea 🌊 paddle boarding/kayaking, I do & don’t feel guilty about it 👌 I sat down & did my Action Plan today, after our call with one of our Mentors & he encouraged us to set our Action Plan to break it down step by step to make sure we achieve the goals we set, making them as realistic as possible 👌 How has your 2025 been? The Highs & the Lows? Happy New Year Everyone 🥳 I hope all your dreams come true in 2026 & you have a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous Year 🍾🥂🎉🥳
