January Letter from the Editor

I am Optimus Prime.

Optimus Prime. That’s quite a name isn’t it? What if we were all named Optimus Prime? In the prime of our lives and in optimum health. Many of us settle for less than is available or less than we deserve OR we are impatient and don’t want to wait for better things. It is such an instant yet also disposable world we live in. We settle for being able to function and just get on with things. I think it was Meghan Markle who referred to wanting to thrive and not just survive.
When we are young we have so much energy and feel strong. As we get older, this can diminish and most of us accept it. We think getting old means there are things we can no longer do or things we cannot do as well. It is seen as a part of life. It doesn’t have to be like that. We can still live our best life and have the wisdom that comes with age and experience. Why settle for functional when we can be optimal and in our prime?
There will be many decisions we have made that have led us to our current state of health and happiness. We need to own that. Could we also own the decision to make changes (can be scary I know)? What can we do to enable us to lead our very best life? What does that look like to you? What are you prepared to do?
This is the last letter from the editor and the last of the collaborative blog. It was an enjoyable 2020 project but I’m leaving it in 2020. My fellow bloggers and collaborators have been amazing and I’m so grateful for their time and their contributions. Some of them are independent business owners so please give them a follow on social media. We could all do with support.
I hope you have enjoyed reading this collaborative blog site and thank you for taking the time out to do so. The site will stay live so please feel free to share with others.
On to new horizons for all of us. After all, “tomorrow is another day.”
