Mondays is always such a hard start to the week, with the congestion of schools kids on the bus to the people sitting opposite you on the London Underground in a mood. You can see the expression on their faces all they are thinking about is I'm late for work, do I really want to go into work or my favourite comment is I wish there was an opportunity to spend an extra day in bed and when you finally get to work, speaking from my experience of my morning yesterday as soon as I was on my way not only was it a total squeeze fest on the Piccadilly line, as I walked into work, I apologised to my manager for being late, sat down and the inbox was full of orders to place. At that point, I thought Char, don't even sweat it, it will eventually get done. So the first thing I did was get a cuppa of tea, which is usually favourite of mine in the morning and two gorgeous tasty Madeleines from home. Not much of a breakfast, but it was a nice treat to start my Monday off nicely.
As the day progressed, I decided to switch up my routine instead listening to music why not listen to a couple of inspirational podcasts during work. You can always rely on music to send you to another world and dream but with podcast you can always pick up interesting facts and learn from other people's skills and personal experiences. Today I listen to few inspiring speakers but the one which caught my eye was Michelle Obama speaking to The Oprah Winfrey regarding her memoir of her novel BECOMING by MICHELLE OBAMA which she discusses in detail about a humble beginnings from where she was raised in the South side of Chicago, Illinois to her being married to the 44th President of United States of America, being able to balance and adjust to the change of coming from normal working lifestyle to having a full fledged, armed security team around you every where you went and being able to be a strong mother and role model to her two girls.
I will say this again, even though I was busy with work and half of my acknowledgement was focusing on every detail of that interview between Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, it was so compelling, touching and inspirational. She is just a normal woman, trying to be best she can be, she didn't let the presidency go to her head, she remembered where she came from and without a doubt always stuck to her roots. She has voice and is not afraid to let her voice be heard.
As you all know, my girl Michelle and I'm gonna talk how I please in my blog lol. My girl Michelle Obama will be coming to London in the next week and half on the 3rd December and she will be holding a talk down at the Southbank centre. Unfortunately I could not get a ticket to the event due to the tickets sold out in less than 20 minutes. For those of you have got a ticket enjoy the talk if your able to attend. On the other hand her memoir is out now and is selling like hot cakes. I have already told my sister that I definitely want this book for Christmas than anything else. I'm already smitten by this memoir and cant wait to read it.
