I’m in a reflective mood today. Life is full of small achievements. We all may have dreams, and sometimes those dreams turn out differently from our original intentions. They may turn out to be even better, they may lead us somewhere completely different. Whatever life throws your way, put the energy in…relish the small things as you go along and you’ll achieve everything.
I went to see the McQueen film this week. It’s out in the cinemas now. A glimpse into the extraordinary creative life of designer Alexander McQueen – his beginnings, visions and creative pressures. Go see it.
