Lets face it, we all have days when we feel sorry for ourselves for whatever reason and today has been one of those days for me. Anyway, earlier today, I dragged myself to do my to do list. Before I could make my first call I had to listen to an answer phone message. It was from a prospective partner company, a lady who had trained in the same college at the same time as Zandra Rhodes. My ears instantly pricked up and I made the call. Turns out this lady is a highly trained highly talented designer who exported a range of designer knitwear internationally. Then she had a serious accident where she broke her neck. She has had brain operations, lost half her skull and now has a degenerative spinal condition too. Despite having nearly died twice on the operating table, she is determined to lead a fulfilling life by designing and making her own jewellery range. As often happens with people who have had brain injuries, this lady became very emotional during the call when I said we would be happy to work with her. This in turn made me feel ashamed of myself that I could be so self pitying when there were others far worse off than me and my tennis elbow. I guess what I am saying is that if you are having a tough time today for whatever reason, try to grasp a slice of this ladys sheer grit and determined spirit from the soles of your boots if necessary and keep going. Fix a point and head towards it and dont let anyone get in your way. Amanda x
