My Dad: I’m Stepping Back For A Bit

Oct 16, 2020 | Thank You | 22 comments

Like what you see?

For those of you who don’t know, my dad passed away suddenly this week. Which is why there have been no blog posts this week. I am focusing on getting my mum into a safe care home. As you can imagine there are lots of things to be done.

You understand that family must come first.

However, you probably also realise by now that my business is my joy. It helps me through all my times of stress & worry.

Writing this blog post, posting some inspiration, hopefully getting back to creating. Holding my online retreats, and finally, future blog & video posting is something I do to take my mind off things. 

As time allows I WILL be here, online, turning up on Social Media, etc. It just won’t be as often as normal or I’d like!!!

I would ask you to hang in there for me. And know that I will be back as soon as I can.

My Dad and why I'm stepping back for a bit.

Thank you for all of the wonderful, kind, thoughtful messages, cards, emails, and texts. I’ve been receiving them for the past few days (is it only days? It already feels like weeks). It means a great deal to me to have such a supportive community.

Life must go on!

My Dad would be the first person to tell me to get on with it. Life must go on & I must carry on as much as I can. However, I also need to be realistic with my time over the coming weeks. Yes, it’s going to take that long to get it sorted out!

My Dad Gave Me Principles

I never want to under-deliver, and I have therefore decided to change my November Class completely. I don’t have time to design a new class of the best quality for you. So I’ll be using one I designed previously but haven’t shared yet. The stamps, papers & all will be changing. I’m just switching things around. I hope you’ll enjoy the new class, and one day I’ll do the other one too!

I will post next week all the details about the new class. So keep an eye out on my Book-A-Class page here.

Thanks again for everything, and I hope I’ll be back at full strength & firing on all cylinders soon.

    I am so glad that you are taking time out to help re home your mum, continue your grieving and complete some of the tasks that are needed at this very sad time . I am with you all the way and wholly in agreement with your sensible plans for the near future. If I can be of any help I am here for you Pip. In the meantime I can only pray for peace and comfort for you and your mum. I am sure Shaun is being the rock for you that he always is. I am sending you my love and gentle hugs. Take it slowly, relish these times with your mum and I pray for the best accommodation for her and for you and your peace of mind xxx
