We need a little push

I still have the vivid memory in my mind of a tiny ‘encounter’ with a stranger on the tube last year. As far as this may sound it is only January so you must all remember that crazy rush during the Xmas shopping period. I have been living in London for over 6 years now, still will never ever get used to the madness when the escalating crowds take over and people are pushing you with desperate anger like there is no tomorrow, not to mention the next train in 2 minutes.

My small ‘encounter’ with a stranger was different this time: a moment of hesitation in my mind whether I can hop on to that crowded train or I should just wait for the next one when a guy behind me pushed me up gently without realising that he actually was actively participating in one of my biggest decisions in life. He smiled, I smiled back at him: ‘Yes, I made it, and it didn't hurt, thank you!’ 

As much as we might not like to admit, we need that little push in our lives!

These petite interactions can make such a difference in you: like all those tweets, blog posts from ‘strangers’ in this world. Who would have known when I started this whole idea of blogging and tweeting that it would have such a positive effect on me? Well, I am fairly new to this world, but so far it has been amazing and this post – the first in 2011 – is meant to be a big thank you to all of you out there who  keep pushing me gently from time to time in the moments of my hesitation.

You all probably feel who you are, and sooner or later I would like to feature you one by one on my blog just to show the appreciation and give it back a little ;)

I am a dreamer and at the same time the biggest worrier in the world I reckon. So yes, I need that little push that helps me make up my mind, helps me make that decision, helps me move on and keep dreaming!

So now after probably a little bit longer brake than I might have anticipated (had a big and much needed reflection on my life), I am back and I am staying: I can do this and I will get there ;)

Got a lot to do, but this time I am determined, focused and re-energized ;) the core plan is still the same: be happy and enjoy all the way; but the steps and the routes might be a bit different.

No worries, fashion stays in my heart as well as all those sustainable issues and dedicated designers and bloggers,all the great people who make a big impact in my life ;) Plus all the events I already attended and the ones I will: Ethical Fashion Source Expo, Ethical Just got Fabulous, LFW and so much more...

And last but not least all those lovely talented people from Hungary, my sweet home!!! 

Will take it step by step, one day at a time, but will take those steps for sure!

First up is my 1^st ever giveaway!!! :) Watch this space as later tonight I will reveal all details.

So once again I would like to say a big  big THANK YOU to all of you who read my blog, who keep me company on twitter, who make me smile, think, laugh, cry, learn through your posts, tweets, ideas, advice – Thank you for pushing me gently!!!

Big hug

Xxxxx
