Three Cheers to 2014!

A bittersweet week full of inspiration and reflection.
Three cheers for 2014!

To the Past

If you've read my any of my previous posts, I am training to become a teacher. On Thursday, it was the end of my first school placement that I will do during my training and by golly, I'm going to miss that place! I was only there for over two months but the art of teaching really hit a chord with me. I've always had in the back of my mind that I'd love to be a teacher but this placement has set that in stone. It is one of the most rewarding jobs anyone can have - by no means the easiest, but the most rewarding for sure! I was sad to go but happy to know that I was definitely in the right place doing the right thing. I'm already half way towards becoming fully qualified! Where has the time gone?

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge."

Albert Einstein

To the Present

Yesterday was a momentous day, I finished writing the first episode of my something special. I will say no more but even if it doesn't become something that is ever produced, it's something that I have enjoyed writing and enjoyed the company of my own characters. I guess writing is the acceptable adult version of having imaginary friend and playing make believe.

"And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name."

William Shakespeare (from A Midsummer Night's Dream)

To the Future

Today is Christmas Eve Eve - the day before the day before Christmas as it were! We are that much more closer to starting Chapter 2015. This year has been a good one and a grateful one. I graduated from university, I started this blog, I got back into creative writing, I started Youtube, I've met new people, new friends and I've started teaching to name oh but a few! I can only wish that Chapter 2015 holds more adventure in store for me because I'm going to give it all I got. I'm ready for the sad, the bad and the awful and pumped for the happy, good and the awesome!

You may not be in the content place where you'd like to be, but sometimes all it takes is that one little push and that one risk. Concentrate on all the little things in life because they take the biggest part of your heart.

Much love and keep smiling.

I believe in you.
