Oh My, This Is So Unexpected...

I love Oscar season.
Not for the films, and certainly not for the fashion (Bjork’s swan springs to mind here), but for the thank you speeches.
While everyone else loves to pour scorn on their alleged ‘insincerity’, I genuinely believe them. I can totally understand why Halle, Gwyneth and Kate all lost it the moment they got that little golden fella in their hand.
It’s the pinnacle of their accomplishments, and as they stand in the spotlight, they suddenly realise just how many people helped to get them there.
I’m feeling pretty good about things at the moment, things are going well, there’s an energy and positivity around the business, and I’ve had some recognition for the work I’m doing.

So I’d like to take the opportunity now to do my thank yous to everyone who’s helped.
