Walking on sunshine

Resilience. Its about struggling, failing, falling down…then getting back up.
Resilience is something many in the modern professional world aspire to. An office buzzword, sometimes thrown around with little understanding of the meaning.

Cold hearted killer or just a working mum. I am glad I ended up as the later.
When I was younger I joined the A.T.C the Air Training Corp, (little kiddie version of the RAF). An amazing opportunity where we got to experience so many things, flying, sports, drill, night exercises. I have so many fond memories of those days. The sense of camaraderie, the exciting new experiences, the crazy endeavours. I…
