Hi Again. There are 5 days to Christmas and I have only bought one Christmas present. Talk about putting myself under pressure! I will get there eventually though. I always do. How is your Christmas shopping going? I hope it’s better than mine.

The thing I am most grateful for today is that my son has reached his first destination safely. He has one more leg to go in a few days time. I know he is going to have a really good Christmas but I will definitely miss him every day.

Today I had a very good stakeholder meeting at work. As I mentioned last week, I have had been offered a cool opportunity at work. I didn’t realise at all how cool it was (well at least to me) until today’s meeting. I feel like I have been preparing for this opportunity for a while now and I didn’t quite realise it. I was really just reading books and articles that really interested me with the intention to implement everything I learnt but no-one else has been in the same space. I have felt like I have been trying to push people up a hill so that they can get to the summit and see what see and it has been exhausting.  Now I have the opportunity to lead a team in the same direction. It will still be exhausting but it will be a very different type of exhaustion if that makes sense. I am so excited and very grateful. I am also very nervous as I have never been give this level of responsibility before. I can only thank God for bringing me to this and I need to trust that He will lead me through it.

2024 is going to be a wonderful challenge and I look forward to the person I will be at the end of it. What challenges and opportunities are you looking forward to in 2024? Let me know in the comments.
