It was twenty years ago today when I received a te It was twenty years ago today when I received a telephone call confirming that I was leaving Norwich Union/Aviva. I remember the moment as though it were yesterday and from that moment on, I have never looked back. Being self-employed for twenty years has been full of incredible highs and demoralising lows. I am grateful to say that the highs have far outweighed the lows, and I would not have changed anything for the world. I still have so many dreams, so many goals and ideas, and so much to strive for. These years have flown by, and I cannot wait to see what the next twenty years will bring. As I always say, follow your dreams! Samantha 🧡

When friends invite you to enjoy the solstice suns When friends invite you to enjoy the solstice sunset - and then treat you to this incredible beauty. Every sniff of this mellow, light, vibrant St Emilion was amazing. And we even had free fireworks to boot! Thank you J & J for a wonderful evening 🧡
We are mere hours away from the summer solstice, o We are mere hours away from the summer solstice, one of my most favourite times of year for making affirmations, asking the goddesses for guidance, and allowing a look back to see just how far I have come in the space of six fleeting months. https://samanthamattockswrites.substack.com/p/reflections-upon-the-summer-solstice
