What happened when I finally admitted that a lot of the big dreams in my 'Goodbye, Hello' journals hadn't turned into reality. And why I'm so glad they didn't.
This is what I did when I wrote the post last week - it was such a powerful exercise! I discovered I had achieved ALL the goals that were *within my control* . I actually hadn’t realised I had! The things in my first diary 5 years ago that I haven’t achieved were unrealistic and outside of my control 😂 - like the fact I’ve been wanting to convert the loft in my house but seriously, I cannot borrow an additional £80k right now with interest rates so high and when I’ve got so many other goals that are better served by having a manageable mortgage. The loft will reappear on the 5 year dream life this year too (who knows, maybe I’ll achieve it in 5 years?!? 😂).
Oh I love this 😂😂 we are so alike. One of my dreams was to have a villa in Spain as well as a big house in London by 2024. I was bananas. We just scraped getting a house at all and certainly not a villa in Spain AS WELL! Who knows though in 20 years or so, or we sell this house and move to Spain. I think maybe in the early days of that exercise I was not paying much attention to the time frame, just my future dream life! But the more we do it the more we learn and find that beautiful balance between dreaming big and expansively but also realistically.
Just wanted to say I love this and I love the journal. after I received it, I bought more for Christmas gifts for my girlfriends. Thank you for having them on Amazon so they’re easily accessible to your international fans!
Oh amazing! Yes I want to make them available as far as I can. Where abouts in the world are you? Will you send me a pic of the journal in location so I can celebrate all the places in the world it is spreading to? 😍

In Singapore! I’ll try to remember to bring it out. Otherwise it’s a photo in my living room 🙈
Wow, Singapore - I love that! Wait, how did you get it out to Singapore? From Amazon.com?!
Yes!! Amazon is not great in many ways but I am very grateful it gives us access to great creators like you!!
