Abandoned dogs are often fed by members of the community as well as visitors. It's an act that at times goes unseen. So many homeless dogs look forward to feeding time and will at times become very friendly with those who make the effort. A lot of them are rescued, treated, and become adoptable. A lot of them don't make it.

There are many advantages to having your next meeting at sea vs. a land-based event. A cruising event can be tailored to please all your participants. Yes! A cruise offers something for everyone if you’re planning an incentive travel program or corporate meeting that spans multiple generations. From heart-pumping rope courses high above the sea to Yoga on deck, from Broadway shows in a high-tech theater to live jazz in an intimate show lounge.

How high?

Firstly of all, sorry I have not been keeping this as up to date as I had hoped.  That is part of my problem - I always start things when so much other stuff is going on and feel guilty for not keeping it updated.  I should have waited, but anyway, here we are. 

Where were we...so I have had a bit of a month of it. I am so self aware I could see it coming.  It is a bit like a tsunami after an earthquake - you know it is inevitable, it’s a force of nature and all you can do is try to get to higher ground.  But that is not necessarily safe either. Being too high can be a bigger danger to me than being too low. 

But that all sounds a bit riddle like.  So to strip it back, I knew I was going to have a huge workload, a lot of pressure and no real support.  Self employment, (even with a full time contract like I have), for all its pro’s can be incredibly isolating.  I had to deliver back to back virtual events, something I had never done before, do all the marketing, social media, registrations, have a 3 day board meeting and deliver content for the associations annual meeting, as well as day to day admin work stuff  in the space of three weeks.  

I had to learn quickly - having never produced a virtual event, and probably gain some extra arms or a second brain or something. Usually when I am doing these sorts of events, they are live, there is support - people around me who can say something nice, get me a glass of water or offer to help.  But here I was sat in my office - getting on with it.  I work well like this to be honest, I get it all done, go above and beyond, all with a smile on my face - people never know what I really feel like.  Once a client said to me after an event ‘I don’t know how you do it, you are constantly busy, staff and delegates all asking questions all the time but you are always so helpful and so positive to everyone around you.’ This to me was a huge compliment. I am one of the best actresses I know FACT. Pass that Oscar Paltrow - I’ll show you how to cry. 

I had asked for extra resource a year ago and it was cancelled due to COVID, even though my work actually increased by 300%  When help was offered a month ago,  it was already too little, too late. It would have taken me longer to train or pass work on to someone, than just get my head down and do it myself.  But that is always to my detriment.  

I have been working on 5 different screens, 8 different social media accounts, 16 different whatsapp groups (this is why I hate whatsapp) all demanding different parts of my brain - 15 hour work days, no fresh air, not really eating and then I struggle to stop and get perspective.  I don’t work in an industry where someone is going to die if I fuck up, but that kind of the perspective is nowhere to be found.  Everything must be perfect - like a seamless operation. 

 Nobody has a clue what is going on behind the scenes, and that is the magic - they never should - because if they did, that means something has gone wrong.  So, I am a complete perfectionist when it comes to my work - I don’t let things drop, I look at things from every possible angle, work out contingencies, problem solve on the spot, write briefs, manage people...I have to keep the plates spinning at all costs.  (I will tell you the story how all my plates stopped spinning at one point - it links to New Orleans one of my milestone stops on my bike ride)

This is a really common issue for event organisers and not one that is talked about in our industry. The thrill of delivery which sometimes has been 6 years in the making, evolves to the post event blues.  You feel ‘jangly’ (sorry probably not a word but it is what I use), pace around, trying to find challenges to solve, over communicating, not sleeping, feeling a bit invincible, drinking too much, just being a little over confident, taking risks, spending too much - until you crash in a little ball in the bottom of your wardrobe, not knowing what the hell to do except cry and hibernate for 3 weeks.  You know that scene in Blackadder when he sticks pencils up his nose and says wibble - I get that. It is quite tempting to turn up on zoom and do that (I just tried to find pencils, will sharpies do?)

I have been working in events since I was 15 so I know this feeling all too well.  I know it is coming and what I should do to avoid it.  But when you are delivering everything in such a positive way - people don’t stop pushing you - they think you are fine and in fact, if I ever say ‘I’m fine’ to you - be concerned - maybe pry a bit more. You need to have someone around you with the emotional intelligence to say - hey, are you ok? I think you need to go outside for a walk - touch some leaves, hug a tree, smell some grass...throw a fucking great rock in the sea.

That is why I am so grateful for my counsellor - she works with me to make a game plan before I go into these periods and this time it helped - I would say I took on board 40% this time round but next time it will be more, because I am getting better.  Plus I am getting support. So here are some of the things, they might help you or someone you love. 

1. Go outside every day and look at the horizon (even better go look at the sea)

2. Keep hydrated, plenty of water (I put 2l of water on my desk at the beginning of the day - if it is there I drink it - if it isn’t then I don’t.  Simple. 

3. Avoid caffeine.  I have been so bad at this my coca-cola addiction is rife and my new ‘hipster wanker’ coconut milk latte addiction has to be squashed soon - mostly as it makes me sound like a total prat! 

4. Try to do some movement, yoga, ballet barre each day.  Again, another thing I am bad at.  One day I went to my desk at 5am and barely left until 10pm that night - ridiculous! I was walking like the hunchback of ND.

5. Breathe - I do something called EFT (tapping) I find that helps to do throughout the day. I have a little ‘mantra’ type thing - it sounds lame but actually whatever, it helps me and I will take what I can get.

So I am sat here, feeling a bit jangly but having done a nice 30 minute bike ride - the first one in a week.  But knowing that is ok, I need to take it easy - don’t push myself, quietly observe, chill out, watch some films or some terrible reality tv and let the tsunami just lap over my feet while I rest in my hammock. I have 10 days off now, so this is time for me to reset.  I am planning to hit my halfway point of my bike ride by the end of the month and that is doable I think - but no pressure.  All I know is that I am going to get it done - I know that.  Keep on Keeping on.  

So I feel I might need to rewrite this at some point - it feels a bit rambling, but I wanted to just put it out there. 

Keep looking at the horizon
