Have you ever had something incredible right under your nose and never realized it? That was me last week when I finally attended the Edinburgh Tattoo. It’s a world-renowned event with breathtaking performances, a dazzling display of lights and fireworks, so many different styles of music and dance, the haunting beauty of bagpipes echoing through the night sky and all under the beauty of Edinburgh Castle.
And yet, despite living just 40 minutes away, I’d never made the effort to go.
Why did I wait so long? Good question!
I met a lovely american guy there in his 30's who told me he saw it all on TikTok last year, didn't know what it was or where it was but he knew he had to go. And so he did. Sometimes, we overlook the magic that’s right in our backyard because we’re caught up in the routine, the familiar, and the “what ifs” that hold us back. Sound familiar? It sure does to me, especially when I think about life after divorce.
Stepping into the Tattoo’s magical atmosphere was an experience I’ll never forget. I met people from all over the world, including many Americans who had flown thousands of miles just to be there. It struck me—here I was, with this incredible opportunity so close to home, and I’d never taken the time to experience it. And as I stood there, goosebumps rising on my arms from the sheer beauty of it all, I realized there was a deeper lesson to be learned.
Life after divorce can feel like stepping into the unknown. It’s easy to get caught up in fear, doubt, and the routines we’ve built to protect ourselves. But here’s the thing: just like that magical night at the Tattoo, there’s a whole world of new possibilities waiting for us, often closer than we think. The joy, adventure, and fulfillment we’re searching for aren’t as far away as they seem—they’re just waiting for us to take that first step.
Let go of perfection. And can I also tell you that my Edinburgh Tattoo experience whilst MAGICAL, whilst it made me cry I was so GRATEFUL to be there, whilst I had goosebumps the whole time.........
IT WASN'T PERFECT!!!
It was a total last-minute decision, a rush job, a stress to throw food at the kids and run out the door straight from work. A bit of a journey involving cars, buses and trams, a huge queue to get in and TORRENTIAL rain halfway through the entire second half. I mean, when I say I was soaked to the skin I had to squeeze the water from my knickers before putting them in the laundry! But it was worth it.
Divorce isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. It’s the perfect time to rediscover yourself and explore the opportunities you might have overlooked. Whether it’s taking up a new hobby, travelling to places you’ve always dreamed of, or simply embracing the freedom to be yourself, there’s magic to be found if you’re open to it. Magic doesn't mean perfection.
Reflecting on my journey, I’ve realized how important it is to embrace these moments of magic. When I first started navigating life after divorce, I was hesitant, unsure of what the future held. But the more I allowed myself to step out of my comfort zone, the more I discovered the incredible potential that was waiting for me. And that’s what I want for you too.
Magic isn’t about perfection—it’s about embracing the beauty in the imperfect, the unexpected, and the messy moments of life. Perfection might seem like the goal, but true magic happens when we let go of rigid expectations and allow life to unfold in its own unique, sometimes chaotic way. It’s in the flaws, the stumbles, and the surprises that we find the most authentic, transformative experiences. Magic is in the journey, not the flawless outcome.
