boldy going

I'm still experiencing a cacophony of emotions. My pendrive isn't in the final place I hoped it might be. But on the plus side, I really enjoyed watching the beautiful - in audio and visual terms - set that Mumford played last night. I saw it on the TV, obviously, not at the glastonbury festival itself. But it got me looking forward to the festival I will be going to at the end of the summer. I'm really pleased I've taken my kids to that since they were tiny - it feels like a good thing to do with them.

In terms of sharing inspiration, I recently posted this on fb, but I know some of you are not my fb friends, so here it is for you too:

I love this. It's challenging, and I think applicable for most people I talk to. I understand the particular importance when talking with young girls, but would argue it's vital for older girls too, and teenagers – and indeed people of all ages and genders. I realise I've recently been pulled into commenting on what people wear when generally I don't really care what people look like. But it can seem like an easy conversation. I'm going to rethink it tho. I'd MUCH rather know what people think or are reading. I'm v grateful for this article encouraging me to take that stand.

I'm sorry that this is in bold today. I can't seem to take it off. Maybe it's a sign about needing to be bold today? Whether you need to be bold, gentle, or silly, hope it's right for you :D
