I look back at some of the upheavals in my life that were particularly painful at the time, but taught me some huge life lessons that I may never have learned if I hadn't suffered my way through the trauma.

For me the most important thing that helped me to get to a position of peace with myself was failing massively in life, in a relationship, in what I thought a mother should be. This failure made me realise that I had probably been focussing on the wrong things for a while and that I wasn't happy with who I was and who I was becoming. Coming to terms with that failure has made me a much better person and I am more at peace with myself than I have ever been.

We touch their lives by being secure in our own world - we become the voice of calm in a world full of uncertainty. I have so enjoyed this series and reading your thoughts which are similar to mine in many ways. I think I am at peace with myself - finally at this age!

But I'm a big believer in no regrets, so I'd prefer to try much and then step back ... rather than step back and regret not having tried more. There is a sense of peace (most of the time). But right now I've got niggling self doubt about a couple of my big projects. My passion projects. I just wish they were further along than they are. But I won't give up! I WILL make it happen.
