Full Blog — Coraline & Us

Finalist, #BiBs2018, 'Fresh Voice' Category

I am very aware of the language and “voice” I use in the Blog, and to Coraline, and in everyday life. For that reason, I couldn’t be happier that “Coraline and Us” has been shortlisted for the “Fresh Voice” award.

Leadership

I felt like I was in the presence of a master as unseen threads were woven around our team and through it, and we were so gelled.

A slice of that

I love looking at photos of your pies @chefcalum; I get lost in the beauty of them! You are leading the way with your talent and innovation and we were all honoured to have a slice of that.

First trip to the Dentist

It is interesting that Coraline will expect to get her teeth between age one to two. For babies without Down’s Syndrome teeth begin to arrive from six months old onwards.

Present in the moment

As much as I can, it’s about being there fully present with Coraline when I am with her, or with anyone else for that matter!

Coraline's own room

She’s been sleeping through each night beautifully as usual. I’m just beginning to get used to the transition!

Kindness

The most amazing epiphany for me from my old lifecoach @sophia_davis_coach was realising kindness starts with the self, with how you talk to yourself.

Trust in life

Tony Robbins, of whom I am a big fan, says we think we know what’s best for us, but actually sometimes it’s good for us to be open to other possibilities.

Openness

I would not have written this blog if I had been going back to work.

What we want for Coraline

We are so lucky to be surrounded by love and to have always been surrounded by it with her.

Coraline's first birthday afternoon

Kevin suggested we go back to the ward where we were for her first week. We wanted to go in and remember, and thank them for the amazing care we received.
