There's been SO MUCH to be thankful for in 2019 an There's been SO MUCH to be thankful for in 2019 and it's pretty mad that so much of it came to fruition in the last couple of months - no wonder I'm still tired! . . In no particular order... 🌟 singing and DJ'ing at the same time @glastofest to a packed crowd @thecommonglasto 🌟 having my nearest & dearest around me in Devon for my 30th 🌟 my birthday party (which was AWESOME) 🌟 finishing the year as it started with my @bootybassdj crew. We accomplished a hell of a lot this year! 🌟 filming my music video with the most beautiful women and my EP launch - it was more than I ever could have hoped for, thank you everyone who came and supported. I'll never forget it 🌟 getting my bestie back @leannejxxxx 🌟 the utter shock of being on the front cover of @bristol247 for my whole birthday month 😱 🌟 releasing my EP. At times it felt like it might never come together - there was blood, sweat and many tears but I'm so proud of it 🌟 writing harmonies and performig packed out gigs with @basschoir . . Really looking forward to what happens this year. Feels good to be in a new decade 🖤

This week has been an impromptu one away. Came dow This week has been an impromptu one away. Came down to London for a gig and ended up staying for a week because it made sense to. I've been working still but it's been helpful to get out of my regular environment to get some perspective. . I talk about how difficult it can be to see your progress as a freelancer/creative a lot because it's hard to give yourself a solid end of year review when you're your own boss. It can get muddied by personal goals and homelife - especially when you work from home. . On my way back to Bristol today, I'm going to start writing up my own end of year evaluation and get down on paper (/computer) my goals for 2020 so next year I can see my growth and hold myself to account. . If any managers out there have tips on how best to evaluate work, let me know! I'm going to be putting up my process as a blog once I've done it! . I love Sunday's - especially those in December. Every one feels like a reset on the week and one step closer to the reset of the year 😊 . . #london #bristol #staycation #writer #freelancer #freelance #evaluate #endofyear #2020 #goalsetting #musician #blogger
