Everyone's still very quiet in here. Are we not enjoying the accountability this month, or are we still recovering from summer, or is something else going on? Help me out because I want to be able to support you and post things that are useful to you. If you're not into the accountability this month, that's fine. We'll do something different :)

For many of you this may be the first real day back to work after the holidays - I get it, it was quite an effort to get back into the daily routines last week. So lets start September with a bang. First: Premium members, something new for you ✨ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗿! Listen to the podcast by my mentor Dustin Riechmann and join me daily throughout September at 9:30 for ONE hour of co-working to create the habit of doing the activities that move the needle first thing every day!

I'll post a comment every day if it's helpful 💘

Check out this great win from one of our members who prefers to be anonymous. When they first joined the idea of outreach was petrifying because they didn’t think they knew how to talk about their work. I’ve seen them go from strength to strength with very little coaching and heaps of determination ❤️‍🔥💪🏼

So my friends. I’m off today to head ‘up north’ with my husbands brother and wife that arrived yesterday from Florida. We stay with his sister and hubby tonight in Manchester. North again for three days of wedding and activities in Northumberland. And then a few more days exploring the North East with said sister and brother and partners. It’s gonna be full on. And I need your help. I won’t be able to put as much care and attention into the community as I normally do but I don’t want to loose you all! Can you keep each other going? Post your stuff and be there for each other while I’m gone?

I've just heard that my good friend and colleague Lady Val Corbett died in her sleep last night. For those that don't know, Lady Val was a force of nature - she started the Corbett Network in honour of her husband Lord Corbett who was a amazing advocate for prison reform. She has been gathering organisations that support prisoner rehabilitation ever since. She also ran a ladies' lunch once a quarter for professional women, and the profits all went towards the Corbett Network. I was honoured to be a volunteer helper at her events. Lady Val wrote a testimonial for my book Wing of an Angel and was a great supporter of Beyond Recovery, the social enterprise I ran for ten years. She also had Derrick and Omar as speakers at one of her events. Sending love to all who knew her - I'm still in shock at the lose of this amazing woman. @Sharon J Crabbe @Anastasia Dobrovolschi @Suzie Yeulett @Helen Crockford @Serena DAfree
