Today the nation take to the polls and whoever gets your vote, there will inevitably be changes; for me a general election is a chance to stop and take stock of where you are and plan for the future.
I’ve always been a fan of a five year plan and funnily enough I made one back in 2010 – at that point I was still at university, childless and having loads of fun. Looking back I’ve in theory achieved my goals: I wanted to be back in London, which I am. I wanted to be settled in a career, never thought it would be blogging but it works perfectly and I love every minute… Oh and now I have a Boo – the cherry on the cake!
The last five years have been eventful, probably the most formative of my adult years. Becoming a mother is such a monumental (not forgetting hard but oh so rewarding) part of your life that for me there won’t be any major plans – instead I find my aspirations for the next five years to be much of the same; by that I mean stability for me and Boo. As I approach thirty there are of course the inevitable questions from friends and family as to when I’ll find Mr Right (Jeez I sound like Bridget Jones!) but I know things like that can’t be forced they simply happen when the time is right. Anyway I’m more focused on continuing to grow my blog and career to secure my family’s future.
They’ll be plenty more of this over the next 5 years!
I’ve made no secret of my hopes to move abroad and I’d like to think that if it does happen it would be within the next five years; a decisions as big as moving continents is one that takes time and lots of planning.
I have lots of friends who regularly have Psychic, clairvoyance, and astrology readings to try help map their future. Whilst I’ve never had a reading I can’t help think how much clarity they can give people as they’re helped to understand what the future holds for them. People are increasing turning to online services as they fit in with their busy lifestyles, whilst still offering the spiritual guidance they want, with a popular destination for many being TheCircle.
Overall my hopes and dreams for the next five years aren’t really related to material gain or career – whilst they are deeply important to me, what really matters is the happiness of Boo and as long as she’s healthy and happy then I’m on plan.
