First of all I want to apologise as I'm aware that I haven't posted in quite a while now, as you can tell my life is pretty hectic at the minute so I find it quite hard to stay on top of everything but I promise this time I'm back in action for good.. So where have I been and what have I been up to?
In August I was asked to take part in Strictly come dancing for BallyBacon Grange GAA Club, a bit of a risky move from a Cahir person but at the end of the day it was to raise money for the GAA club, a great way to meet new people, have a laugh ,get a bit of exercise, so really what more could you want? I literally love been on stage, I don't really enjoy the waiting to go on stage but once I'm on it it's quite hard to get me off it so of course I couldn't turn down the offer! Being the" blow in" of the group you would reckon I found it hard to settle into the group, well I can assure you it was the completely opposite, I knew 2 people out of 19 heading into my first practice and by the end of the first night I felt like I had known everyone for years- definitely the most welcoming bunch of people I've ever come across. Each and every single person made a real effort to make me feel welcome. So as BBG Strictly 2016 came to a close last night I want to first of all want to thank O'Gorman Construction for sponsoring me, I want to thank my dance partner Brian Ruth for putting up with me for the last few weeks, we all know that's not an easy job and lastly to the other 18 guys/gals from our Strictly family- it was by far one of the best experiences of my life and something I'll always remember.
So just in case I wasn't busy enough with work/Strictly I also agreed to take part in a Fashion Show this Friday night in Cahir House Hotel (it's becoming my second home lately) in aid of the Cahir Day Care Centre. A few weeks ago I decided that I would do something to give back to my own town, and that been said I ran a competition with Tipp Fm Radio station in the search for one lucky person to win a makeover - to get their hair, make up and nails done and also to be styled by myself.. well I can now announce the winner of my competition is Maureen O' Brien who was nominated by her fabulous daughter Caroline - I can assure you that it will be a night not to be missed as well known singer Frances Black will be the compare of the show on the night.!
Lastly for those of you who are wondering when I'm going to be starting my job with Fafinder by Frockadvisor, I haven't finalised a date yet but it#s all starting to get extremely real as I'm in the lead up to my training days for the job. I am working so hard lately to get to where I have always wanted to be and I'm so focused on my career. Starting this blog in April has probably been the best decision that I have ever made as I was the definition of miserable. I stayed at home all day every day, I was unemployed I didn't take part in any activities and that reflected in my health. Obviously I have gone from one extreme to the other as you can tell I rarely get the chance to sit down anymore but mentally and physically it's really paying off'. Of , course there are days where I have aches and pains and I would love to just lie in bed all day and feel sorry for my self but that won't get me anywhere.
I have genuinely never been as happy and settled as I am in my whole life, its crazy how one little decision can completely change your attitude and your wellbeing. This time last year, I was regretting the decision of been the only one out of my friends who didn't go to College and I'm finally starting to realise that College isn't for everyone - everything happens for a reason. That's enough for me for this week, I hope you enjoyed reading my post,
Until Next Time.
Much Love,
