Which way are the splinters?

I came across this Irish blessing the other day...

As you slide down the banisters of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way.

I thought it was brilliant and it made me think...what can we do to sand out the splinters in our future?  Is there any way to future proof ourselves?

We can pl...

Have you noticed your gate is open?

Have you ever watched McGyver?  I was a teenage girl when it was on originally and I watched it because I thought he was cute!  We have just started watching the new one.  It is such fun, mostly as it is ridiculous how he gets out of crazy things that happen to him...using things around him that jus...

GOYA

I have been having a really productive week, I participated in a Facebook Live video challenge which really got me going.  I found three new accountability partners and a new business coach. It reminded me of the Law of GOYA...I love the Law of GOYA - "get off your ass"!  It is so easy to sit around...

It didn't kill me - it was fun...

Facebook live is scary!  I am doing a challenge this week and I have to do a Facebook Live video everyday.  It felt like I was sitting on a lonely chair under a spotlight.  This is something I want to do but I was putting off and...it didn't kill me!  In fact it was fun!  I could get addicted to the...

Bringing Light

Imagine how the world would be different, if we all looked for times that we could make people happier. When you do something for somebody else it makes them happier but it also makes you happier too.  It has to be done with the right intention, though.  Doing something out of obligation does no goo...

Would you like a quick healing holiday?

Our energy body and mind cannot tell the difference between something that actually happens or something we imagine.  This is one of the reasons it is important to focus on what you want in your life and not what you don't want.

So today I am posting a link to a quick audio exercise where we go on ...

Giant Leaps are terrifying but fun

Last week I wrote about the benefits of taking baby steps in the right direction.  This weekend I completely discounted my own advice and took a huge leap out of my comfort zone.  I went to Speaker School.  We had to get up at the beginning of the day and give a three minute talk in front of the cla...

Baby steps forward when you feel like standing still

What do you do when you are not feeling your best?    When there is something to worry about it can consume all your energy if you let it.

For me, there are levels of feeling out of sorts.  I nearly always feel better if I actually do something but I often find it hard to get started when I let mys...

A simple way out of worry

I love you.

I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

These words of the ho'oponopono prayer run through my mind frequently regardless of what is going on with my life.  There are many books and websites around with details.  Zero Limits is a fascinating book to start with.  It tells the story o...

Words create our life

When I tapped this morning I used the words clarity, love and light.  They felt necessary to me in the moment, I needed their energy for today.  The words we choose to create our lives are so important.  They have vibrations of their own and each of them is making us feel better or worse.

How are y...

Shoulds, Oughts and Comfort Zones

Do you spend time doing things you think you should do?  Do they stay in your mind, if you don't do them?

I have come to the conclusion that there is a difference between should and ought.  For me something I should do is a simple thing, I should get some exercise, I should eat well, I should do my...

Time in a bottle

I was thinking today about what I would like to write about and I came across this question...

Am I any closer to my dreams than I was last year?  August or September always feels like the new year to me.  It is the start of new school or college years and a great time after the summer to set yours...
