A Story About…Inspiration

A Story About…Inspiration

Who or what inspires you?

I find people truly inspiring. Each individual has a story and there is always something I can learn, celebrate and be inspired by when listening to parts of their journey through life.

In particular I find my Superstar clients to be such amazing people and regularly find inspiration, laughter, hope and joy from hearing their stories and watching their successes.

This is possible because we have such a close working relationship and the trust level is high.

After all, everyone knows what goes on in The Shed stays in The Shed????

A Story About… Best Laid Plans

A Story About… Best Laid Plans

How do you deal with a big change in what you had carefully planned?

At the weekend we were meant to plant our hedge. The trench was dug in readiness last week for 100s of plants to go in.

And then it rained, a lot ☔️

Our trench turned into a canal
Our clay soil so waterlogged you could make pots from it
The ordered soil conditioner didn’t turn up

So no planting could happen ????

Sometimes the best laid plans are foiled by things out of our control.

Frustrating! But also an opportunity for something different to happen.

Here’s my quick way of dealing with a change in plans:

1. Let it go – move on quickly
If there is really nothing that can be done then there’s no point in holding onto the frustration of a plan that no longer works.

2. Find the positive in the negative
For me this meant I could enjoy the beautiful sunshine on Sunday without being covered in mud

3. Make Plan B – as soon as you can
For me this means using the week time to do ‘little and often’ in the prep work in order to make planting easier next weekend

How do you deal with a change in plans?

A Story About… The Shed Social

A Story about … The Shed Social

March’s Shed Social was epic ????

We got warm and cosy over Dr. Jenny Gordon fresh baked scones ???? and talked about so many things. Some work, some personal and some just plain funny ????

The Shed social has no agenda other than to hold space for people. New connections were made, friendships started and old connections reestablished.

Who knows what will come of those conversations?

What I do know is everyone left with a smile on their faces and that’s a great way to continue our day.

And we raised some money for Oxfordshire Mind

I’d say that’s a Win Win ????
