Disappearing People

Stella Holman - The ConnectorInt Leave a comment

Gravitate towards others who stay calm when met with friction. When you stay composed you stay in control. Calm isn’t passivity it’s precision under pressure.

Power may also be assumed to be action, but real power is what you resist.

Anyone can retaliate, but the person that sees the whole picture not the next move wins over time.

When you step up and trust your values more than your emotions. Resisting the temptation to lower your standards!

Power begins in the daily routine, the way you prepare, plan and show up on days when motivation doesn’t exist.

Daily discipline frees you from being tossed around by every demand, mood or distraction..

A strong person doesn’t fight to be seen or beg to be heard, nor do they demand your attention or try to convince you of their value as they know their worth and won’t compete for your respect, they will stop showing up for you when they realise that their standards are dismissed and they have shown loyalty and not people been valued.

Now life begins to align around the boundary you finally had the courage to enforce.

Protect your peace, as this affects your tone, clarity and creativity. So silence the noise, say no without guilt and step away with grace.

I’ve made a few mistakes, I’ve upset people with my decisions which haven’t aligned with theirs. But, I do not want to be controlled by other people’s viewpoints unless I am in agreement.

In 2025 I disappeared myself for a bit. It was out of choice, I was diagnosed with Glaucoma and I had to go and have emergency eye surgery to save my eye sight. Then, I had a long period of time waiting for my eyes to recover so I could go back to the opticians to get new glasses. In this time I was unable to drive. Thankfully, there were offers from friends to take me to the hospital which was 20 miles away. On one occasion I did go by train and walked quite a distance which was a little distressing as I couldn’t see all that well.

During this time at home I kept occupied by my entrepreneurial pursuits. I was able to listen to trainings and join in with a few zoom calls so I didn’t feel so isolated being at home on my own. I was blessed to have a gorgeous summer and venture out locally to sit on the seafront

Sadly, a friend I had known for many years had a breakdown, followed by a heart attack which brought on early dementia, this resulted in him having to be sectioned and omitted into psychiatric care. This has been a shock to me as he was part of my social circle for 35 years. I went to see him a couple of time and heard yesterday they have finally found a care home for him to stay in which will be easier for his family to reach by bus.

A number of Blackstar networking collegues past away!

Glad I made the effort to have a 121 with Andrew Widgery down at the Waitrose Cafe in Chichester in 2024. Wonderful to hear him speak about his love for his family and gratefulness that his girls had all found wonderful men to partner up and expressing his joy for the new grandson and another one on the way. He told me that he had received treatment and that drug was destroying his cancer lesions and his words to me were that he had been given extra time to love his family and all the special people in his life. Though sadly, not as much time as we were all hoping because Andrew past away on 27.7.24.

Very sad as he was “kicking cancer” ticking more things of his bucket list….

Then on 23 July 2025, we lost Maurice Watts, I regrettably was unable to join in with the “Chez Maurice-Marketing zooms as I was working, nor get to meet him or travel to visit him in hospital as it was too far away.

Maurice was a good friend to me during the Blackstar Ecademy days. Gave me some marketing mentoring, shared knowledge and helped me navigate by way back to the tube stations after our networking events…

Mick Say past away on the cliff tops while out walking with his wife and friends on 25 November 2025, apparently he slipped and banged his head but never regained consciousness.

He loved technology, I did some freelance work for him when we were all trying to create data using Klout, Rise and the game Empire Avenue. He also lately was sharing his accomplishments on #strava.

So near and yet so far away

Stella Holman - The ConnectorInt 3 Comments

Sometimes life plays a bittersweet tune, reminding us that some things we desire are just out of reach. It’s moments like these that pull at the strings of our hearts, leaving us with a profound sense of longing and nostalgia.

Have you ever experienced that feeling? The sensation of being so close to something or someone, yet unable to bridge the gap that separates you? It’s as if the universe conspires to keep us apart, teasing us with the possibility of what could have been.

There are countless instances where we find ourselves yearning for a connection that remains elusive. Perhaps it’s a missed opportunity for love, a friendship that faded away, or a dream that never came to fruition. Whatever the case may be, the ache in our hearts can be overwhelming.

But amidst the sadness, there is a certain beauty in this sentiment. It reminds us of the depth of our emotions and the significance of the connections we form. It teaches us to cherish those fleeting moments of closeness, even if they are overshadowed by the distance that separates us.

Sometimes, the very act of longing can fuel our determination and inspire us to strive for what we desire most. It fuels our creativity, drives us to take risks, and encourages us to push beyond our comfort zones. It reminds us that life is a delicate dance between what we have and what we yearn for.

So, if you find yourself caught in the midst of this sentimental journey, take solace in knowing that you are not alone. Embrace the emotions that come with longing, for they are a testament to the depth of your heart. And remember, sometimes the most beautiful connections are forged in the spaces between “so near” and “so far away.” 🌌✨

Should old acquaintances be forgotten and never brought to mind?

Friendship

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintances be forgotten,

And days of long ago!

We two have run about the hillsides

And pulled the daisies fine,

But we have wandered many a weary foot

For times gone by.

We two have paddled (waded) in the stream

From noon until dinner time,

But seas between us broad have roared

Since times gone by.

And there is a hand, my trusty friend,

And give us a hand of yours,

And we will take a goodwill drink of ale

For times gone by!

And surely you will pay for your pint,

And surely I will pay for mine!

And we will take a cup of kindness yet

For times gone by!

For times gone by, my dear

For times gone by,

We will take a cup of kindness yet

For times gone by.

We two have run about the hillsides

Did You Learn Your Lesson?

Stella Holman - The ConnectorInt Leave a comment

The experience I went through taught me a valuable lesson that I will never forget. It was a challenging and sometimes painful journey, but it ultimately shaped me into a wiser and more resilient individual.

At first, I resisted the idea of learning from my mistakes. I was stubborn and believed that I knew better. However, life had other plans for me. It presented me with a series of setbacks and failures that forced me to confront my own limitations and shortcomings.

As I stumbled and fell, I began to realise that there was something to be gained from these experiences. I started to pay closer attention to the patterns and behaviors that led to my downfalls. I analyzed my actions and decisions, seeking to understand where I went wrong.

It was not an easy process. It required me to be brutally honest with myself and acknowledge my own flaws. I had to let go of my ego and accept responsibility for my mistakes. This was a humbling experience, but it was also liberating. It allowed me to take control of my own growth and development.

I sought guidance from mentors and sought out resources to expand my knowledge and skills. I read books, attended workshops, and engaged in meaningful conversations with people who had wisdom to share. I realized that learning from others’ experiences could save me from making the same mistakes they had made.

But the most important lesson I learned was the power of perseverance. I discovered that setbacks and failures were not the end of the road, but rather opportunities for growth. I learned to pick myself up, dust myself off, and keep moving forward. I embraced the idea that failure was not a reflection of my worth, but rather a stepping stone towards success.

Through this experience, I learned that learning from my mistakes was not a one-time event, but a lifelong journey. It required me to be open-minded, adaptable, and willing to change. It taught me the importance of self-reflection and continuous improvement.

Now, whenever I face a challenge or make a mistake, I approach it with a different mindset. I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than a reason to give up. I am grateful for the lessons I have learned and the person I have become as a result.

In conclusion, the experience I went through taught me the invaluable lesson of learning from my mistakes. It taught me to be humble, resilient, and open to growth. It transformed me into a better version of myself and continues to shape my journey towards personal and professional success.

Millions of people throughout the world are taking advantage of the opportunity multi-level marketing offers to start and build a successful business, quickly and inexpensively.

They use the foundation of a network-marketing business to learn vital business skills at low cost.

The Funeral

Stella Holman - The ConnectorInt Leave a comment

Today I attended the funeral of one of our town’s most respected gentlemen.

I was privileged to go as I was invited to sing along with three other women that also regularly sing in our church’s Music Ministry.

Before the service began, I spoke to God in my mind to ask him to give me again that special anointing that I received when I gave my life to him and had the water baptism by full immersion and was “Born Again” in 2004. I need it in my life and work to cope with situations where I have to be supportive and not to judge……,,

The first hymn – I Vow To Thee, My Country.

“I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above. Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love.

The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test.

That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best. The love that never falters, the love that pays the price.

The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there’s another country I’ve heard of long ago. Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; We may not count her armies, we may not see her King.

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering.

And soul by soul and silently her shining bound increase .

And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

I’m a soprano, when I start singing the presence of God comes down on me and I start tingling, so have to sway and hope no one notices my tingling. I thank God again in my mind for his presence and the gift of the voice and being able to hit those high notes and be heard above the organ. Also, now feeling refreshed and able to cope with what I’ve been called to do in my working life!

The service was very moving, I felt empathy for the family who are my friends that paid tribute to Barry’s life….

I felt a tear in the corner of my eye when she mentioned footsteps to illustrate his service in our community and how everyone will miss him.

Barry went to be with the Lord. He is home now.

In my mind at the beginning to ask again for my life the gift of God’s anointing to give me the incite to pray for people who are ill. There seems so many people suffering in my midst, as I write this a friend has gone to London to receive treatment for Cancer. Two other friends are suffering with dizziness and blood pressure which seems to be related to Covid.

Others have ongoing Mental Health needs. Other’s who this year have also lost loved ones dear to them.

I start each day with prayer to God to intercede for them.

Back to remembering the other two hymns that are my favourites “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art.”

Barry also had a heart for the lost and supported the mission The Matthew 25 Mission.

Matthew 25 v 35-36
