Courage

If you’re stepping into a new routine today I hope you have a brilliant, courageous day.

Our boys are back in school with mixed emotions, as are several friends for whom returning to school is hard. Other friends are starting university for the first time. All are feeling a bit scared and they’ll need some courage to get through til midday... (And do it again tomorrow). I’ll be thinking of you.

It’s a bit ‘bumper sticker’ but Oprah said “courage is feeling the fear but doing it anyway”, which is true, but my favourite courage quote is by EE Cummings who famously said “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are”. We are made up of these brave moments and acts of courage, they make us, form our character, propel us on to other bigger exciting things.

You won’t be the only one feeling wobbily so smile, be kind, and remember there’s only one you, so we need you to be your brilliant self, and there’s only one today, and I hope you enjoy it.

Bon Courage and Lots of love,

Harriet x
