I am absolutely in awe of you speaking to high school pupils. Never mind the house of commons, nobody can be as vicious if they don't like you! I'm speaking as an alumni of one of the roughest schools in my London borough btw, those speakers we had never got off lightly!
But seriously though, I imagine your teacher friend was surprised because s/he was used to seeing you as confident and go getting. So it's good to know we all get terrified from time to time.
As for me, writing on substack before I'm ready is my most recent 😱 moment: specifically on faith and the bible. I know so little and there's so much to say. It's like diving into the deepest ocean - exhilarating and terrifying.
Hahaha, reading this brought back memories of my own London high school and how one of our science teachers ended up locking himself in a cupboard to try and escape us! So different when the situation is reversed 🤣 You're doing brilliantly with your Substack, it's such a great read so I'm very grateful you were bold enough to begin it! ❤️
Yes! I accepted a commission to write a book for my county for America's celebration next year of 250 years since the of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Then arrived a president who violates that document every day. I have had to battle creative paralysis over this endeavor but am making headway, encouraged continually by Substack writers, especially you! Speaking of magical — my production manager called for a meeting for today, titling her email as our "magical book."
And magical that you found that photo of vulnerable, cute you, which provided inspiration for this very encouraging and timely (for me) weekly submission of encouragement. Thank you again and again for unfolding for us the purposeful, magical life you continue living!
Aw, I'm loving all the magic here! 🪄✨ And I'm so glad you're making headway with your book , please do keep me updated with how you're getting on. Thank you so much for your encouraging comments, I find them so inspiring ❤️

Thank you Siobhan 😊 Oh your poor science teacher, but that made me laugh out loud! 😅
I feel so guilty now - although he did take a packet of Jaffa cakes in the cupboard with him so it wasn't all bad 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
