Am I Wonder Woman?

It was my birthday a few weeks ago.

A card arrived from my Dad with a picture of Wonder Woman on the front. This made me smile as Wonder Woman was my hero when I was about 5 years old ... I remember going to the Easter Show and getting a Wonder Woman showbag. I thought Wonder Woman was amazing ... she was strong, adventurous, fought for good not evil and had a great costume!

I opened the birthday card and inside was a message, part of which said "Graphic perhaps captures life for you in 2011 - hope 2012 provides more opportunity for relaxing and a slower pace"

2011 had certainly been a challenging year and contained very little "rest". It saw me with a newborn baby in Melbourne, my business partner decided to move on from Mums on the Go leaving me with a tough choice about continuing the business, I suffered depression, added Melbourne to the child-friendly directory and then at short notice discovered we were moving back to Sydney again ...

Am I Wonder Woman for getting through 2011 with a smile still on my face? No, I don't think so ... but I do hope I have captured some of Wonder Woman's determination, adventurous spirit, and energy!

Do I think 2012 will bring the the rest my Dad hopes it will? Not at all!!! I have more big plans for Mums on the Go and some new adventures to plan in my personal life. Hopefully 2012 will be less "bumpy" though ... that would be really nice.

Did you have a childhood hero? Can you still relate to them now that you are all grown up?
