As I sat down for the first time today, to eat my Lil sups, my heart dropped….. it is Thursday and I haven’t written to you!

It’s been rather a monumental week of firsts: not only is it my FIRST LIL RETREAT and I send my FIRST EVER COOK BOOK PROPOSAL to my first list of agents, its the first week that I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY LIL LEAPS POST!

Some of you clever lot might say that there is a correlation… too much on my plate? Bit off more than I can chew? Let my hyper-achiever get the better of me?

You might be right and it wouldn’t be the first time I have, either!

BUT- rather than letting this be a point of self-pitty or something to beat myself up about…. I have decided to chose a more empowering root.

I am AWARE: that I have made a mistake, I am choosing to be COMPASSIONATE with myself: “you are giving a lot of yourself this week and your Lil Leapers will appreciate your honesty and effort. You are human. You are allowed to find things a Lil too much. You can learn from this and even if you don’t, you have grown through it.” And now I feel EMPOWERED…:

As I go into my Lil Retreat this weekend, I give myself permission to be human, to find things challenging, to make mistakes and to be honest. My work and my Lil Theories are based on connection and as long as I bring myself and my faith in them, I am fulfilling my goal.

You might be rather relieved that it’s only a short one this week!

I look forward to chatting about how it went, what I and my Lil Retreaters learnt and my plans for the future.

Lots of love from Lil xx
