Girl you have got some B*lls!!!! what you have all achieved has took a lot of guts and a heck of a lot of commitment and self sacrifice. i wish you all the very best for the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Some days I feel like a total failure because I feel I am letting everyone down by not being more successful at raising more funds , getting Dogstar represented at events , attracting support , generating PR or even get the damn newsletters out on time so thank you for your kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Sam, you are an amazing person - failure doesn't even enter my head when I think of everything you have done If I achieve even half the things you have done over the last few years over my whole lifetime, I will be proud of myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizzie Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Sam, there is only one of you. Even wonder woman has limits on how many places she can be at once!You need to be a little kinder to yourself - just compare your achievements to the average person and give yourself a pat on the back once in a while!The world of animal welfare is full of things that need to be achieved - but they can't all be done by any one person.

Mags Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Sam, I too am in total awe of your achievements. I will proof read your book. I've always wanted to type a book for someone, so you dictate it and I'll type it. I'll even buy it when it's published Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am touched so many people want to read my unwritten book ! I am giving it some serious thought but currently my number one priority is to secure funding for Dogstar and grow our support team and I cannot indulge myself with time off to write just yet Not saying never just saying I don,t have the hours in the day currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 33 days to go have spent days ringing companies and getting services cut off , loft is now empty ( a major achievement ) furniture starts to leave next week did I mention I don't currently have a passport ! although mine had a year to run I decided to exchange it for a new 10 year one as the process to get it renewed in Sri Lanka is dire ( you have to send it to Hong Kong ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrackenMc Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Just want to wish you both well and say how brave I think you are being. I have told my husband the story of how Dogstar started and how you originally went out to work with the elephants. Just look at all you have achieved now. If I could give out honours, you would be well near the top of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 26 days and I am in a permanent state of feeling sick ! I am doubtful I will ever be finished in time or if I will be able to sleep at all in the last week Mark is dismantling items around me whilst I sit in the office trying to keep up with the normal Dogstar admin , filing the annual returns ( just finished hooray ) , write grant applications and phoning the Foreign office and or High Commission ! when I am not in the office I seem to be walking around with a bin bag or recyclining bag in my hand , going to the gym to run on the treadmill appears to be the highlight of my day and the only bit when my head gets to turn off p.s still waiting for new passports to arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
