Birthday love

Today is my birthday and when I woke up I thought to myself I seriously need to turn up the gratitude a notch.   I need to write write write everything I am grateful for and I need to shout it to the work, because I have had the most amazing year. 

I have been spoilt with a weekend of delicious dinner with my husband, lunch with family and movies with kids for my birthday and today there will be more food, wine and cake.  Yes cake.  (Sorry 12WBT I will refocus tomorrow!)

So here goes…

I am just so blow my mind grateful for the support I get from my husband in creating my business and in creating the dream life I so want for my family.  Without him I could not do what I do and I don’t say thank you enough.  In fact sometimes I am a grumpy bitch frankly, and sometimes he is so frustrating I could scream (hello jocks on the floor / dog on the couch / kids in beds with iPods!!!) OK Sorry, refocus 🙂 Honestly though I am so truly grateful for his loyalty, even though we are not perfect. I just think about how blessed I am for the fact that we are together and on the same team, creating a world filled with hope and possibility for our beautiful 3.

I am grateful for the huge posse of supportive women in my life, for the power of the divine feminine coming to life in the world around me (yes I seriously believe that), for life long friends, for new friends, for new babes I have met on my entrepreneurial journey.  For those women who just support me, don’t judge me, don’t resent me, don’t blame me, just support, I love you girls!

My children, my heart is exploding with love and thanks that they are here in my life, I waited for them for a long time, and they are perfect. Yes, they are challenging, and I do have mixed feelings about school holidays I must admit!  Sometimes I wonder if I am doing a good job as their mum; but as someone said to me recently “Don’t worry Kate you just need to keep them alive until they are 18 and then they can have therapy to fix all the mistakes you make.”  Ha!  She was joking of course, but at times I do get overwhelmed with making sure I am being the best I can be for them.  I understand so much more now but I still know I need to keep learning everyday to do the best job I can with them.  To build them into happy, caring and resilient people.  Starting my own business is very much about them and making sure I can be the Mum I want to be in their lives.  They teach me everyday, seriously, it rocks my world how much I learn from these divine little creatures.  They are funny, smart, beautiful, cute, cheeky, naughty, strong, fragile, warm, snuggly, growing, absorbing, intriguing, wonderful, new, talented, caring, intuitive, amazing little people.  I could go on and on and on.  Now the tears are flowing.

For my business – how lucky I am to be able to work with the incredible people I do; to have found my zone of pure joy at work, bringing dreams and visions to life, bringing clarity and focus and calm to people’s businesses and lives.  I still cannot believe it sometimes, I literally pinch myself with “I have totally found what I am MEANT to do” moments often these days.

And for you, for everyone in this amazing space and place and tribe who lets me write to them, who reads my words, who trusts me to be part of their lives in some way no matter how big or small, who supports me and who allows me to build my business into something I love that can genuinely help more and more people turn dreams into reality.

I know there is more but I can’t write it all now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Happy 30th of June everyone 🙂
