Where has the year gone? 2014 seems to be flying by! I have a blackbird which I have called Beatrice nesting in close proximity to our back door, nicely lodged in the honeysuckle and grapevine. She knows that it is a safe place with a good flight path and access to plenty of food for her 3 chicks. What struck me throughout the whole of June is that the feeding process has been non-stop for her. For nearly 30 days I have witnessed morning, noon and evening the constant toing and froing of food for the ever hungry and growing chicks. I can see them quite clearly from my viewing chair as well as hear them and I really do hope that I am there to witness their first flight. But going back to Beatrice, what a trooper? No-one in nature to pat her on her back to say well done for all your hard work, through rain wind and shine. She has no idea if the 3 baby blackbirds will make it safely once they have flown the nest.
And June has been pretty constant for me too. I have looked back on this month and it has just melted away. At the beginning of the month I was in Cahors attending a small conference with a client and sharing social media knowledge, had a birthday, plus grateful that my Nan has reached her 90th birthday, helped some lovely ladies with social media training via Skype, helped an auto-entrepreneur get his business up and running, take on some new clients, hosted some private group marketing sessions with Ladies in Business in France and experienced a huge learning shift with more personal offline matters. July looks set to be just as busy, some new projects on the horizon and a new social media offer to promote. Things should quieten down in August, as most things do in France, so that I can take advantage of the quiet time to think about my client accounts for Autumn and Winter.

Some key highlights for me this month:
Getting to grips with my skype French lessons. The importance of learning French has far outweighed looking for an excuse to not learn French. One of my goals for 2014 was to have an action plan in place to learn French. I was rather impressed in how Celine Mazoyer used a closed group to explore how ladies learned French and then she actively followed up with how she could help. Having already taken a look at her website beforehand, her approach and follow up helped me in my buying decision. My lessons are 1 to 1, via Skype and include great learning activities that I can do in my own time and as Celine is French I am getting the benefit of speaking to her in a comfortable environment.

Another key highlight for this month was seeing one of my UK clients Pink Chillies have a joyous June too. Not only were they promoting their brand for a new range of products in Las Vegas at the Licensing Expo but also the launch of their new look website took place too along with reaching 500 fans.

Since writing this the 3 baby blackbirds have flown the nest are busy finding their wings as they strut across the garden under the watchful eye of mum. Here's to the second half of 2014 and all that is in store.
