So Posh has been a constant in my life. I remember the first time I heard the Spice Girls sing Wannabe and thought – this is a hit! In a talent show, doing a Spice Girl parody, you guessed it – I played Posh. I mean we have so much in common LOL. But seriously – from one Taurus to another and born in the same year, I started looking to Posh Spice for shared milestone birthday celebrations and life journeys.
My husband and I recently watched the David Beckham documentary on Netflix and we really enjoyed and were inspired by his story and his life’s approach. And you can see that he and Posh have a great connection. They tease, support and love each other and even through the ups and downs, they have remained dedicated to their relationship and their family. And the follow up with the Uber delivery/eats Super Bowl commercial, carried through the teasing from the documentary, which was great. Looking forward to her documentary!
And so as Posh marks her 50th birthday, I have to say, that what has always resonated about her with me, is that she seems very comfortable with who she is, and her goals and aspirations. She has had a lot of people speak about her – both positive and negative and she seems to take it in stride, which is something I am working on. She is also extremely disciplined in terms of her health and she looks fabulous. She would definitely be someone I would love to meet at a dinner party and hear her anecdotes. She has lived her life and she definitely owns it all, yet maintains a serene joy, which I admire.
And ofcourse – her style. Although different from mine, she knows what works for her and is committed to that. I like that confidence.
And I love that she has fully leaned into her 50th birthday celebration. With my milestone fast approaching, I have felt hesitant about how to personally celebrate it. Both of my parents are deceased and that plays a part. On my drive today, I realized that I did not have those ancestors to direct me on my journey as I age. I cannot look at them, for markers nor do I have their support or foundation. Especially from my Mom. She was strict with me – there is no doubt. But she really was my greatest cheerleader. She was present in my life at all times, even when she became sick, and I valued her presence and influence. As indicated before, whenever I have a special moment in my life, I ensure that I wear a piece of jewellery or accessory from my Mom, so that I feel her presence with me. On these types of moments, there is a feeling of being bereft without this presence. And it definitely plays a part in how I will be feeling. She taught me to laugh loudly, wear bright colours proudly, celebrate sarcasm and teasing and to never shy away from standing tall and being bold; lessons I continue to carry with me.
I have a lot to be thankful for and I will ensure, that will be the focus on this next chapter on the horizon.
But that’s just one Diva’s view.
