POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

These moments are the culmination of a lifetime of love, connection, support and nudging one another forward in the best most wholesome ways.

The past 2 weeks of Paddy has brought many of these types of moments and are a great reminder that no matter how difficult the moments preceding them are, these ones are in the post.

It's difficult to put into words, but as always, I'll do me best.

Ain't love grand

What a difference 2 years makes.

Friendships are challenging in adulthood but somehow we've all navigated what we've had to by giving one another the space to live what we need to live, and then we come back together and celebrate the fruits of those endeavours whenever we can and it seems like time has stood still.

😭😭❤️

This guy!! ☝🏼🧡
Since May (yes two months ago May) he has produced, managed, recruited, coordinated, scheduled and been the ever present guiding force behind 10 (yes 10) different productions including musicals, dance reviews, film screenings, plays …….and to polish it off a huge very successful end of year production with 4 different rotating casts of about 65 people per cast, all within a regular size theatre! These productions took place at varying (often simultaneous) locations including managing the build of and take down of a purpose built theatre in the Performers College grounds. Though he has the unenviable, often thankless job of ensuring that everything runs to budget and on time, his commitment to the quality of the productions never waivers. Nor most importantly does his commitment to ensuring the most psychologically healthy and safe environment for all involved. In his one week where he wasn’t at a venue for 14 hours a day, he trained to be a Mental Health First Aider, such is his passion for his production spaces to be a place of safety and support! I genuinely could not be prouder of who this incredible man is both within the scale of the job he does, but also in the way that he does it. He is such a wonderful role model to our kids to whom through the craziness he still managed to be a wonderful and present daddy! Love you @jonfordsmith you are flipping epic! 💪🏼

🎄
4 viruses
3 sick bugs
2 runny bums
And a partridge in a pear tree (who is probably also sick if he’s anywhere near our house…)

Christmas from the infant trenches was fun but also there was too much mucus overall.

How my trainings been at the minute!
There are too many of you that I’m grateful for to keep me going but I’ll tag a few 🙏🏼 But progress is happening, and it makes it clearer and clearer that consistency is key!
If you’re looking for help with your programming, training or technique drop me a message 🫡
