Me, shovel in hand, the day I first opened Rock & Rose Rituals and Conkers Magical Earth Academy.
I'd arrived down from Scotland knowing nobody, with £200 to my name. And somehow I manifested the keys to this marvellous building, right here in 160 glorious acres of Upton Country Park. Build it and they will come…
Everything I've ever done has come from following the little callings of my heart, and they never, ever make logical sense. That's the beauty of a soul path. It asks us to drop out of our heads and into our heart intelligence. Your heart always knows the way, and mine has never once led me astray.
To those of you who've been here since the very beginning, back when it was a couple of shelves, a few wands and little jam jars full of glitter: thank you, thank you, thank you, from the very centre of my heart. Together we've now shared the magic with thousands of children and families from all around the world.
So here's what I know for sure. Your dream needs one thing from you: a vision you believe in with every cell of your being, followed ruthlessly. The money finds its way. The people find their way. So pop on your big girl pants and pick up that shovel.
What's the dream your heart keeps whispering to you? Tell me in the comments, and come and see the magic for yourself at Upton.
