Faffing Friday Edition #21 - Ted Talk In The Bag 💥

I’m on such a high trying to process the magic ✨

Yes, I know it’s late Saturday afternoon in the UK as I press publish on this and not Friday morning for my usual Faffing Friday posts publishing schedule.

I really wanted to show up here and not miss a week because I’m really, really enjoying writing these weekly posts and it seems you do, too.

To be honest I think I’d write them even if no one read them because I just love doing it.

I delivered my keynote Ted Talk on Wednesday, had a long sleep into Thursday and then set off for Manchester Airport to travel for a sunshine break to Kalkan in Turkey.

What a huge tick off my bucket list that I didn’t even know was on my list!

I never dreamed I would be able to achieve something so iconic as a Ted Talk

I have so much to say about the experience but I can’t actually put it fully into words right now.

I feel so happy and emotional.

I’m on such a high trying to process the magic ✨

I want to bottle it!!

I’ve shared a couple of pics on my socials .. I hardly took any so I’m relying on the ones other people took and of course the official Ted ones that will come later.

But here I am …

I’ll share more in another stand alone Ted post once I’m back home and down off cloud nine - we planned this getaway well. It’s the perfect way to keep the vibe going for a little longer.

Who am I kidding?

This kind of magic doesn’t rub off for a long time, I’m sure.

As you can imagine there wasn’t a lot of time for much faffing between Edition #20 last week up to now.

It was full steam ahead rehearsal mode.

I really hope I’ve done every older woman proud with the subject matter of my talk, ‘Older & Bolder.’

I’m off to get ready to go out for dinner .. we’re two hours ahead of UK time here in Kalkan.

Lots of love,

My Faffing Friday ‘Stacks are basically a curation of my week - what I’ve been doing, reading, watching, eating, buying, IRL or on the interweb.
