Sunday Sermon XIII - This revolution will be televised ... x

Hello Halo, 

Another week has past since the last post, this is becoming a familiar pattern. I've had stuff to say this week, but it feels like I haven't had a moment to myself to gather those moments of clarity and put pen to paper (or fingers to keys to website etc). Life is rushing along as a pace I've not experienced for a long time. 

The perspective of time is something I'm always aware of. The first 6 months of this blog felt so slow, the operation, rehab (ongoing), the pregnancy, trying to carve out an honest crust all felt like I was running on a treadmill for a while. Now though, the weeks are counting up and it feels like I'm just clinging on for the ride. 

Felix and Rudy are 2 months old today. 'They grow up so fast' I hear myself stifle and refuse to say because I can't bear to become my grandma just yet. 

I've been thinking about business though this week. So, back in October I set up Ta-Da! (yup, that's the name of the business) with very little idea of what I was going to do with it, or how on earth it was going to actually pay the rent. 9 months on and things are shaping up. There's not a lot of ca$h mon£y stored in the high interest savings account, however, I feel that things have been successful in many other ways. I've run with my own ethos, totally and utterly me, no compromise, no-one else to blame, answer too, consider or debate with other than Fi. I think we share the same philosophy on the whole, so things are pretty cool. 

Opportunity has started to knock; stability is looking at me and beckoning me from the horizon. There's a flicker of interest in my ideas and me and I'm genuinely excited to be me, just me, right now. Of course, there's no-one else to share responsibility with (blame!) if it all goes horribly wrong. It's all worth it, just for the glory mind. I love the glory and, of course, the attention. The purity of putting my ethics out there as a benchmark of measurement and ultimately my sword to live and die by is a real buzz.

I’ve confirmed that businesses can still be run with a strong moral compass and a common ground with the Universe. I work with charities, so it's crucial to me that I share their needs, rather than work with my own agenda. I work with people, so I need to feel that I'm offering them the opportunity to succeed. I work with my reputation in mind, so I have to make sure my decisions represent my whole being. 

Compromising everything I stand for by being selfish, or decisions motivated by the smell of ca$h mon£y would pretty much invalidate everything I've become. I feel like I've really found myself, my direction, my old self in this past few months and I've done it without contradiction of my inner peace. I’m far from reaching my goals, but I'm within sight of them still and I'm able to be patient enough to wait longer for some of them. Being me is never easy, but working for me is pretty cool, I hope it's working for everyone else because this revolution will be televised...

One Love

Jez
