So I’m new to blogging and wondered where to start.
I’m mid thirty’s and have had such a full exciting life so far. As a member of girl group Madasun I travelled the world at such a young age and went on adventures I could have only dreamed off. I felt huge feelings of success and partied so hard my feet didn’t hit the ground.
Following my years in music I worked as a television presenter talking music and lifestyle and also acted in some very cool indie films. Life in my twenties was one big whirlwind. That was until I heard the words from my beloved mum that we had one year left together. The party had come to an end, life had gone black and I had no idea what to do or think. How could this be, we shared everything, every high and every low, how would I continue with out my best mate, my shopping pal, my skincare guru, all these things this amazing woman was.
So I gave up…. My career came to a halt and I couldn’t think showbiz anymore all I could think is my mum had to see my baby.
We agreed I would have my first child younger than planned, which is exactly what I did and my beloved mum spent three months with my son before she passed and I have no regrets. Her words “The greatest gift she had been given”.
Skip a few years and now with two amazing boys at school, I’m back and ready to dip my toes back into the career I adored so much.
How did I get back to this point? Simple it’s Buddha or Broadway.
Try as I might, like all us London living mummies, I’m desperate to share meditation stories over dinner and proclaim to meditate morning and night and honestly I try so hard to do so. I visit Buddhist centres and try and find the inner me. But if I’m honest nothing works for me as much as singing full volume, reliving my kids from my fame days. That’s the real me, cheesy as it is.
So I no longer try and meditate to start my day, but I find the song of the day, turn up as loud as my household can stand and sing sing sing!!!
