Sally Whittle
The most beautiful day I ever had was the day I got my first job in journalism. I remember riding the bus home through Camden after the interview, and realising I’d just got a foot in the door of an industry I’d wanted to join since I was seven years old, after five years of university,working behind a bar at night, and people telling me it was too competitive.
The sun was shining and the world felt full of possibility. I think possibility is about the most beautiful thing there is.
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen is my daughter Flea. Specifically when she’s asleep, if you lean in very close and whisper, “I love you,” she smiles in her sleep. There’s no such thing as a bad day when you can see that at the end of it.
The most beautiful thing I have ever owned is the Taylor guitar my friend just bought me. I like to admire its mahogony-topped beauty as I play one of the four chords I know. It’s wasted on me, really, isn’t it?
The most beautiful song I have ever heard is a song called Something Beautiful by Krister Axel (http://axelradio.com/track/something-beautiful). But ask me again tomorrow and I’ll love something else. I never tire of listening to new music.
The most beautiful person I know is my Mother. She’s beautiful on the outside but I have endless admiration for her strength, wisdom and compassion. It takes someone very special to take on foster kids and to adopt children who haven’t had the best start in the world, and help them build new lives, and lucky for me my Mum’s one of those special people.
The most beautiful thing about me is that I try to live up to my Mum’s example and do the right thing, even if it’s not easy. I don’t always get there, but I try and be someone worthy of her, every day.
Thank you Sally Whittle, you made me cry!

I love the Mum daughter relationship going on with Sally, that is really special, accros 2 generations.
I’m really enjoying this series, such a great way to learn about people.
i’m sure that you are worthy and even more, every single day and that is why your daughter smiles to you in her sleep x lovely post x
I reckon you have a daughter who will be just as keen to make her mum proud, in fact I am sure she is already 🙂
This is so lovely – I do hope you’ve let your Mum have a read Sally x x
I am a little surprised I didn’t make sallys beautiful list…..
But it still made me smile
Oh how beautiful, I love how Flea smiles (melts your heart)
I am feeling all sorts of emotional today and this bought a tear to my eye. Beautiful!

awww what a lovekly way of finding out more about other bloggers. i know what Sally meant about her daughter being the most beautoful thing she ahd ever seen – i feel like that about my boys when i met them for the 1st time x

I feel like I should go and glare at kittens, just to restore order in the universe now. Tsk.
This is a beautiful post.
The only reason i went to Blog Camp on Saturday was to finally meet Sally. After three years of blogging it felt so wrong that I had never met the legend that is La Whittle. And what an added bonus that I got see your gorgeous face and give you a gentle hug too.
Blimey, I’m glad I didn’t know that ahead of time. Talk about pressure! Am now heartily glad I didn’t fall over or do anything else too embarrassing.
Such a lovely insight. Great series Becky! 🙂
