About My Girlie Side

I get asked about this stuff ALL the time so here goes .... as you can probably see I am declaring myself as Fortysomething. A friend of mine once told me that when you reach 40, something happens on the inside, you will want to stage an event of some kind, she ran a marathon, some people choose to have a baby, start over again, learn a new language, emigrate!  The list is endless and of course personal to each one of us.

So, here I am fortysomething and still wanting to be fabulous darling! I grew up with Charlies Angels ( Farrah was my favourite ), Dallas & Dynasty. This later progressed to Saturday Night Fever, Disco and then came the incredible tousled blonde hair framing the perfect face of Debbie Harry of Blondie.  The power of the Denis Denis video? Awesome!

I have been hooked on glamour since I was around 14 years of age, I had issues to deal with ( ginger hair ( my Mum insisted on calling it strawberry blonde ), freckles and white skin that never tanned. )for everyone who has come to terms with those elements and is happy as they are, well done, I never quite understood why I couldn't have a tan like Farrah Fawcett Majors and blonde hair like Debbie Harry.

The day I discovered foundation that covered all my freckles, ( yes I know natural is best - but I didn't appreciate that advice ) was the day I started to gain confidence in myself. I continually disobeyed the school rules on wearing make up and have been fascinated by it ever since.

I would just like to state right now that my R.E. teacher ( Mrs Williamson ) was WRONG when she said wearing that much make up all the time is bad for your skin, well guess what --- my skin still looks great thanks very much.

So this bit is all about my girlie side, I'm happy to pass on anything I know that keeps you Fit, 40 something and absolutely fabulous of course.  Enjoy!

More About Me & My Blog

Hi my name is Diane Cossie and this Blog is dedicated to goal setters and goal getters everywhere. I have studied goal setting, motivation and have been mentored in lateral thinking, Edward De Bono style. The blog sets out to bring a clearer understanding to the purpose of goal setting and assists with hopefully de-mystifying the sometimes "magic" of goal setting that has been created around run away successes like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

I have an incredibly open mind and can help people understand why their lives up to this point are simply a reflection of who they were and that they truly can be anything and anyone they want to be if they follow some simple guidelines, believe in themselves, draw a chalk line as a starting point then step across the line they have drawn. ( This action will lead to transition and as you adjust to your new surroundings you will be ready to take your next step.)

I have a Grammar School Education and my first job was working in a bank! ( Believe it or not ), then I met my future husband, got married and had a lovely baby daughter Gemma ( who is now all grown up and married to Carl ). They got married in The Wedding Pavillion at The Grand Floridian Hotel, Walt Disney World, Florida and we all get along famously. I'll add some pictures to the Blog so you can see what a fantastic day we all had.

I have assisted with my husband's business for over 15 years in a multi-tasking role and have been mentored by an amazing man who I dedicated the name of my company ( Control Freak Ltd ) to ( much to his annoyance I hasten to add.)

I am a self education enthusiast, and have developed my motivational skills over a period of time to the point where I beleive I can help most people I meet see how they acheive things they never thought they could. It is often said that I make sense of the complicated and then convey it in an easy to understand way. I have made goals, and achieved them myself for over 10 years, each one allowing me to grow, learn and invariably pass on that knowledge to help other people whenever I can.

I can easily be contacted by email or if you need to ask me something, please use my voice mail & I will get back to you ASAP. The direct number is 0800 7811048, usual office hours apply.

If you understand that my advanced lateral thinking training requires an understanding that nothing you say at any time can be wrong, it just is, then you will begin to resonate with things that I say on the blog. I am a positive and optimistic person hell bent on making a difference to people's wealth, and if I can help restore people's belief in themselves along the way, I know I will be able to keep you more motivated in your journey towards your goal.
