Dear lovely readers.

I hope you are well?

So okay, February already! How??? It would seem the year is going to be flying along much like 2025. But I’d hope we will be able to stop and pause parts of it. The good parts especially.

How was your January? Always a difficult month, but it helps us to focus a little bit after Christmas, doesn’t it?

My January got off to a flying start. On the second week, I did a talk for a fabulous business women’s networking group called Alex And His Sisters. It’s a bi-monthly event and has been popular since it started prior to the pandemic. It attracts business women from all levels and from all parts of the North West, and tends to get booked up very quickly. The events are usually so uplifting

And I’d been attending for a while, when Alex McCann of Altrincham HQ - who runs the event (for free - I might add) - asked if I’d be a speaker and talk all about 45 Not Out and my reasons for setting it up etc

Well, I have to say I jumped at the chance. Knowing just how wonderful the audience would be at the event, and they would be very much the perfect recipients to hear all about 45 Not Out, I told Alex a very big yes.

I did wobble a bit about speaking, but since I did my 45 Not Out podcast a few years ago, I think I broke through to fear of public speaking and have a bit of a taste of it now.

So, how did it go, I hear you ask. Well, let me expand…
