On my thirtieth birthday (yes, I turned thirty this year) I slowly raised myself from the warmth of my duvet and turned on the shower to begin my morning ritual. I undressed from my winter sleepwear and while the shower began to fill the room with steam I looked at myself in the mirror and…

I’m an artist, a creative multi-passionate, a photographer, an entrepreneur! Every day I encounter services, products, and workshops that my peers are telling me is the ‘Greatest thing on Earth’. I’m intrigued, I latch on, I sign up. Most of my investments have paid off, some…not so much. Earlier this year I held a piece…

A high tea session is a monthly publication created for the purpose of feeling like we’re spending an afternoon together over delicious cakes while drinking some fresh tea to discuss some questions that I am asked regarding business, so grab your cup of tea (mine is Earl Grey) and settle in: The past month I’ve…

My goodness Lesley I honestly love you, not in a silly passing thing you say to the gals you pal around with “oh, I love you” but I really have come to love the incredible, kind, patient, insightful, wise, driven person you are. After reading this, what I have seen in you and what I love about you make even more sense to me. I think you are an incredible person and I am so fortunate to have you in my life. I am grateful for the first email and every single one since!

I like (and agree with) every part of this post, except the part of the removing of those who inspire you…
Instead of comparing yourself with them, you can just try to feel happy for them and let them inspire you (without copying of course). Instead of thinking about what you don’t have, start thinking of what you are going to reach, because they once started just like you… Maybe you can recognize parts of yourself in their stories and you might even realize you are not so different. 🙂But maybe this is something personal and if it really bothers you and you feel bad after reading their posts, of course you should get rid of them.ReplyCancel
No matter the change of your body, you look like a stunning 30’er 🙂
And I must say, the 30’s feel like the best years, so it’s another new beginning for you 🙂
I love this Leslie!!! I am celebrating right along with you in my 40th year!!
I am going to print this and read it daily!
