Happy New Year

Finally managed to make it out of the house after a few days resting. Thoroughly exhausted after a manic December and Christmas, which hasn't done my ticker a great deal of good.

Saw something similar to this online earlier today, so thought I'd try it. It was a one take option as once the wave came in it washed the hand written 2013 and the 2014 pebbles away too.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope 2014 brings you everything you hope for and more.


I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
