Nothing puts a smile on my face quicker than a clients email reaction to the funeral script for their loved 🥰 one. With just one word “Perfect”.
It shows me that, I listened to want they wanted to say and gave them what they wanted to achieve when “Creating A Fond Farewell” for their loved one. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 💕

Today saw me head out to the Cedar Creek Public Hall to help a partner “Create A Fond Farewell” for her loved one💞💞💞
The directive was to wear Spring Colours so my lovely Pink Lace top fitted the bill along with my white slacks 💕
The grounds of the hall was decked out with a marquee, chairs for the guests.
The coffin arrived that was one of my favourites the “Fresh Water Creek Expressions coffin” a single rose on top then the deceased guitar 🎸 was to set the scene 🎬
His friends from his band playing days set up and the show began.
As the guests arrived the band played.
Dragon Flies flittered around 😊
The rain stay away it was a perfect day.
Wonderful stories of friendship and love were shared 💞
Beautiful photos were shown of his life while his friends played live music. 🎶
The slide show finished and three live videos of the deceased playing his guitar 🎸 the real essence of the man was Celebrated 💞
As we concluded the service the exit piece of music 🎶 played “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” such a fitting end to the service.
In my 26 years involvement in Funeral Services todays Service topped my list 😊😊😊

My 2026 has kicked off with a beautiful “Fond Farewell” in my old home of Great Northern Garden of Remembrance” I never get tired of the wow factor of how the Chapel is set out 🥰Even through I struggled with the idea 💡 as I could not visualise what it would look like compared to the old chapel 💒
On the day of the official reopening of the Chapel I did say in my speech that the Wow factor got me 💞

Goal setting what works and what doesn’t. Are we keeping them real? Are we making them achieveable? Or are we just paying lip service to an idea without any commitment 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Working with Trish Springsteen today in her Planning for Profit workshop. These are the questions I posed to myself😳😳😳😳

I found writing them down planning the timeline a very accurate way to get real 😄🙏🏼😄

As I reflect back over my past few years of writing books I am proud to find that I have achieved a goal set in 2021 to complete my first book and be published my career memoirs - Titled "Creating a Fond Farewell, Understand the choices we have when someone dies." 🤩
Following on for my grandchildren I started writing about our family pets.
Which in turn developed into a series "The Chronicles of the Lenton family Pets." ☺️
1. "Miss Sweetie finds a Home' and becomes the heart of the family." 😺
2. "Diamond the Wonder Dog and her family" 🐕
My grandchildren believe I am a famous author (love my grandchildren). 💞
Donating the two books about the pets to their school has been exciting for them and a joy for me to know that they have became the most sort after lend from the school library. 💞
As I entered in 2026 my writing journey will take on another book in the series as we continue to follow the journey of "Miss Sweetie and Diamond" and their relationship, which is slowly but surely becoming easier. 🐈‍⬛ 🦮
So lets begin 2026 with a smile and time out to enjoy a cuppa and read a book. ☺️
