Nice to see you posting again. 🙂 I can understand why other things were more important than blogging, especially while grieving.<br /><br />That's good that you're enjoying reading again. It's nice that books are something you can come back to whenever you like. Some of my favourites are kind of like old friends to me!<br /><br />Zania Moonsparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509387808598180111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-30319967291464090182021-11-15T16:38:24.720+00:002021-11-15T16:38:24.720+00:00P.S.

I always like hearing about new books though and enjoyed your posts about books in the past. I look forward to seeing what you write about in future. :)<br /><br />ZaniaMoonsparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509387808598180111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-4069699911370507112021-11-15T15:35:39.477+00:002021-11-15T15:35:39.477+00:00I found it hard to accept I could only do one thin...I found it hard to accept I could only do one thing, which meant half way through my A-levels i rejected all my offers and decided to go through clearly and gamble I'd get a place where I wanted in a subject I liked. It was a risky move and paid off for me. I also then ended up with 3 degrees and different areas because you know I like learning but also had no idea what I actually wanted to do. Falling into Learning and Development was a happy accident. I knew Being a teacher wasn't the life for me, but the jobs I'd enjoyed the most had been in tutoring and as an assistant teacher. <br /><br />And my career in digital learning was so niche when I started that most people kept advising me to get a real job. Which I find hilarious now.<br /><br />I think it's fantastic you are having the conversations with your boys and that you want to help other young people. Especially because you don't have a typical linear journey to the career you eventually found for yourself. Young people need to know that there are so many options and possibilities out there and it's okay to change your mind, learn something new, try a different career.<br /><br />I've mentored a few people and it's been incredibly rewarding, I hope on both sides!<br /><br />ShadowFalconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705530281109481071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-53491448362878870532021-01-05T20:27:57.089+00:002021-01-05T20:27:57.089+00:00happy new year !happy new year !proxyzhttp://www.bangpro.xyznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-40132759443747919542020-06-07T18:23:16.260+01:002020-06-07T18:23:16.260+01:00Thank you, and to you too!Thank you, and to you too!Michelle (Fluttering Butterflies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16528693076511362226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-62977779691418460322020-06-07T18:22:59.495+01:002020-06-07T18:22:59.495+01:00I appreciate it, thank you!I appreciate it, thank you!Michelle (Fluttering Butterflies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16528693076511362226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-45317817353001804462020-05-31T12:10:01.151+01:002020-05-31T12:10:01.151+01:00best of luck with your reset!best of luck with your reset!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-65063782547917640192020-05-30T10:00:49.183+01:002020-05-30T10:00:49.183+01:00It is hard to start over, and to find ways to reen...It is hard to start over, and to find ways to reengage. I haven't even tried on Twitter and don't think it will. It just feels like on the odd occasion I do there I tweet into a void and that's it. <br /><br />I had a year off last year but I do seem to be more settled now. I have ideas for posts and I am getting to visit some other bloggers along the way.

I think last year I went through my Blogger reading list, and I stopped following a couple of blogs because it had been several years since they'd posted anything and I thought they probably weren't coming back!<br /><br />Hope you and your family are safe and doing well. :)<br /><br />ZaniaMoonsparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509387808598180111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-75301033187162208392020-04-02T09:56:42.299+01:002020-04-02T09:56:42.299+01:00It's definitely okay to just do what you need ...It's definitely okay to just do what you need to do.

I'm shocked and delighted that you left a message! That must mean you still read my blog. Or did back in February :) How are you? I don't think you'll ever read this but thank you. <br /><br />Okay, so classic film. I've seen Rebel Without a Cause but I saw it years ago and I probably didn't appreciate it as much as I would do now. I didn't actually manage to watch many of these movies, and none of the ones you suggested! Citizen Kane (!!!) is still on my list, as are the others. I did end up watching The Birds and Roman Holiday. Sabrina. Another Alfred Hitchcock film. Some other films, I don't really remember. But I enjoyed them all. It was nice to go out of my comfort zone and see films that I'd heard about but had never seen. I'll keep exploring. <br /><br />It was good to hear from you though.
