My Influences - Who's on Your List?

Updated: Oct 31, 2023

Up early and put the beef in the oven ready for dinner later.


Quite an uneventful day really as wanted to have a chilled-out day with my girls and just take them for a walk and then catch up on some Movies.


I watched an old episode of Oprah and it started me thinking about the top influences in my life so far. I don't mean celebs etc but people that have come into my life at one stage or another who have had a big impact on me. So I thought I would start today by just drafting up my Top 10 people and then on days when there is not much to write about I can maybe feature one of the top 10 in more detail and explain why they played such an integral part in shaping my life and who I have become to date. I have no doubt that others will come into my life and the list will increase to much more than those that are currently on it.


I also want to point out that even though these people I am crediting with having a big impact on my life, I also believe that every interaction we have, changes the course of our lives in one way or another. It might be that a chance encounter with someone at a party that we view as insignificant, might start a chain of events that lead us to meet someone that makes it onto our list. Equally just because someone isn't on this list does not mean i think any less of them it's just that these are the people I feel I have learned the most life lessons from.


These are not in order of importance but rather in chronological order (as good as I can remember anyway). Those in red have already had a blog post done and you can click their name to take you to their blog post.


  1. Mum

  2. Dad

  3. Grandma

  4. Grandad

  5. Louise Fallows

  6. David Johnson

  7. Kirsty Von Bock

  8. Jason Smith

  9. Rachel Williams

  10. Derek Perkins

  11. Emma Cooper

These names won't mean anything to most people but I will introduce you to them as the weeks go by and explain their impact on my life.
