A woman walks into the room and everyone just stares – she looks so amazing. Ever wanted to have the same effect? You might be more of an understated, but equally gorgeous pearl, than a bright, shining diamond but all of us has the ability to look and feel fabulous.

Interested? Then take a look at my two really popular November workshops. The Art of Style concentrates on the woman within. The Masterclass looks at the physical body. Both will  change the way you dress and the way you think about your clothing. What’s not to love? You’ll never look back.

You never know who is going to be attending one of your workshops and it’s always a real pleasure to meet with people from all walks of life who come along to learn and share their experiences. One of my most recent attendees was the talented Helen Elizabeth Evans. She is one of a handful of women who can help you to uncover your true life purpose, authentically, by reading your hands. When I went to meet her, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but if you’re imagining palmists, psychics or fortune tellers at a fair, then think again.  Helen inks your palm and your fingers on both hands and you press onto paper to provide an imprint from which she takes her readings. Interestingly, my right hand, which I use a lot, had more intricate finger print details than my left, which I rarely use. Each squiggle (my term, not hers) and line tells a story. Helen is also an astrologer and matches the results found in your hands with detailed information gleaned from your birth chart. The results are amazing. I had so many moments of crystal clear clarity that I was almost overwhelmed. Many insights reached back to my earliest childhood memories and I saw recurring patterns of behaviour for the very first time in my life. I now have a real understanding of why I do things that sometimes are less than helpful, which gives me the tools to move beyond any that have limited me in the past. The main focus, and this is the really exciting part, is on your life’s purpose. I’m more than relieved to say that mine is doing what I’m doing now, transforming people by helping them find their authentic selves through the medium of clothing. It’s good to know.

The daily Gratitude Diary that I have spoken about in my e-zine really sparked your imaginations. Many of you have written to me to say that you too are now doing this simple act on a daily basis and are already seeing the results. What I didn’t expect to happen was that I am featuring in YOUR Gratitude Diaries. Well, I’m grateful that you’re grateful – if that makes sense. If you missed last month’s newsletter and you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s pretty simple. You just list 5 things you are grateful for every day. After a while, you soon realise how lucky you are, even if it doesn’t always feel like it. Try it and see. It’s very rewarding, especially if you buy yourself a beautiful journal to write in. Adds to the occasion.  The one pictured is available from Amazon by Northern Spears. You can also buy from Amazon (second hand)  The Simple Abundance  Journal of Gratitude by my favourite author Sarah Ban Breathnach.  The best time to do it is bedtime, so you have lovely thoughts throughout the night. Don’t miss out. Go to my website home page and sign up for my monthly e-zine. It’s free!

I was really thrilled when I found out that my photo – my specs actually – has been featured in an on-line  Canadian  magazine

www.signaturejmagazine.com

Written by a well known Eyewear Image Expert, Wendy Buchanan, the article is about eyewear that is hot this season, suits your face shape and your personality.

Here’s what she says about my eye wear:

Retro Geek Chic

The Inspired Artist™ frame style is for the naturally sparkly and animated professional who is a bit of a rebel and is happy to break the rules.  This individual loves an ever changing business environment that allows them to use their creative energy.

I absolutely agree.

The full article will be featured in my December e-zine out mid November.  So sign up now http://www.feelfabat50.com/signup.html

I’m thrilled to tell you that I’ve been interviewed -again- about my own mid life career change. How fabulous to see one’s own name in print!  The book, is a really good (and quite small so not too much reading) guide to get you thinking about:

• how to find out what your skills are, and how to increase them if necessary
• the steps you need to take to start your own business
• how to develop connections
• the best ways to research and re-train for a new career

Unfortunately, gone are the days when we could start our working life at one company and hope to stay there for the rest of our lives.  Many of us, having faced redundancy, fear or just pure boredom decide to follow our passions and make a profitable living at the same time.  I know I’ve never looked back and my work/life ratio, my fabulous clients, my continuing passion and thirst for knowledge and the results I help to achieve have never been more enjoyable and fulfilling.
