Happy New Year!

I would like to start by wishing everyone a very Happy New Year and I hope 2013 brings health, wealth and happiness to you all!


2013


Happy New Year
I love a new year and I have a feeling that 2013 is going to be a good one. I always see the new year stretching ahead like a blank canvas; a chance to really focus on what direction you want your life to take. You can either start something completely new or you can start to compound and move forward with things that you have started previously.  Over the last few weeks I have been giving a lot of thought to where I want to be by the end of this year and I have decided that as well as continuing with my teaching, I will expand the part of my music business which I love most and focus on building that this year.

My Plans


For many, many years now I have used a combination of NLP (neuro linguistic programming), mind power and confidence enhancement techniques to help actors, singers and musicians achieve their full potential. I love watching these people (over time) blossom and gain confidence and a new sense of self-esteem when they realise that they can actually do things that they felt they might never achieve. Because I enjoy this part of my job so much, I have decided that that's the area to expand this year and so I have decided to offer a life coaching/business life coaching service to anyone who wants it. You can find out more about that by visiting my new website/blog by clicking on this link Denise Mitchell.

A couple of weeks ago I thought that I might give up on Cupcakes and Cadenzas (this blog) and just take it off the blogosphere but I love this blog so much that I just couldn't do it so, I've decided to dedicate some time each week to keeping this blog up and running. Blogging is one of my favourite things in the world and Cupcakes and Cadenzas is a personal blog where I can talk about almost anything so it's a bit of light relief.

I have also decided to get back to my writing this year It has fallen very much by the wayside over the last 12-18 months and I'm really looking forward to getting back to it. I have set up another blog which will be for book reviews and all things bookish and writerish and I hope that if this interests any of you then you will join me over there. You can find it by clicking this link Life with Yvie  It's a very new blog so keep checking back and you will gradually see some content appearing.

Anyway, I really just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and let you know what's going on in Deniseworld.  It's taken a lot of thought to finally decide just which direction I wanted to go in, but I truly feel I am there now. It seems like a lot to take on but I know that the time is right.

What About You?


What are everyone else's plans for this new year? Do you also see a new year as a blank page, a chance to take your life in a new direction? Do you intend to work on the things you've already started or do you just see it as another year of doing the same old thing?

Stop! It's Going Too Fast and I Want to Get Off!

Carousel Okay - I don't actually mean that I want things to stop so that I can get off because I'm having too much fun but, over the last few months, my life has become a daily whirlwind of new businesses, taking on new projects, building websites and building a brand and it's not showing any sign of slowing down. I have loved every minute of it so far but it has meant that so many other things in my life have had to be put on the back burner whilst all this has been going on, including Cupcakes and Cadenzas. It will all have been worth it in the long run but I just want to say thanks to everyone who has stuck around and not abandoned this blog and to say that I haven't forgotten about it or you. Why I love Cupcakes and Cadenzas so much and refuse to give up on it it is that it was the very first blog that I set up and is therefore my 'baby' as far as blogs go. I have several other blogs set up for various business ventures but Cupcakes and Cadenzas is

The Sad Songs Blogfest

This is the first time I've ever taken part in a Blogfest and it has been great fun! Thank you to Diane for organising it. You can find Diane's blog by clicking here  Check out her list of inspirational, sad songs. I have had a ball going through old cds, trying to pick out my top 10 sad songs that inspire me. I have to admit that I could have come up with way more than 10 but I decided to give myself a limit. These songs hold no particular memories for me but they are songs that tug at my heart strings every time I hear them and if I'm ever feeling down and wanting to wallow in self-pity, then these are the songs I would put into my playlist and play whilst drinking a bottle glass or two of wine. Are you sitting comfortably? (click on any of the titles to hear the songs on youTube) Hello by Evanescence . The haunting piano accompaniment and the striking voice of Amy lee make this (in my opinion) one of the most moving songs this band have ever released. All O

A-Z Blogging Challenge: E is for...Elsie Marley

This is a rhyme that I hadn't heard until I started this challenge although some people I have spoken to have been surprised that I hadn't heard it so I'm learning stuff from this too. 'Elsie Marley's grown so fine. She won't get up to feed the swine, But lies in bed 'til eight or nine! And surely does she take her time.' This little rhyme seems innocent enough. Elsie is obviously a lady who has, for what ever reason, got ideas above her station. She has become so fine that she won't get out of bed before 8 or 9am and refuses to feed the pigs. When she does get up she certainly doesn't rush to do anything. The rhyme has been changed with good reason. Her name was actually Eppie Marly. Here is the original. Bonnie Prince Charlie 'Saw ye Eppie Marly, honey, The woman that sells the barley, honey? She's lost her pocket and a' her money, Wi followin' Jacobite Charlie, honey. Eppie Marly's turned sae fine, She&
