Habits

Habit dulls your senses.

As comforting as your routines may be, change them sometimes. Leave your comfort zone behind. Sleep on the other side of the bed. Use your other hand to brush your teeth. Go out mid-week or to places you have never been. Learn a new skill or try a new sport.

Invite friends to picnic in the park at sunset or gather at the beach early morning. Do whatever wakes you up.

Let the leader follow and the follower lead.

Your moods

Your moods and emotions affect everyone around you, regardless of how powerless you feel.

Take total responsibility for the emotional atmosphere you are creating.

Behave cheerfully and courteously.

Your feelings will follow.

It's March Already!

We are well into March already, and I would love to ask you how you are going with your new years resolutions? Still on track?

Perhaps this week you could take some time out to re assess your plans for 2009. Is what you decided on at the end of 2008 for the New Year still relevant? Is it something that you really wanted or something that you thought you should be doing? Perhaps that is why nothing is happening!

Whilst reassessing your plan, don’t forget to add some time for your self. Block some short 30 minute slots in your day to go for a walk or run, do some drawing, some writing, listen to some music you love or take the time for meditating. Make it the same time each day, when you can just be you and re-energize self. I bet after doing this, you will have more to give to others.


Yes, there are many things that need to get done, but in this moment I have to do nothing.

In loving memory of Nick

Thursday 27th saw the passing of a dear soul who felt he could no longer stay on this earth. Nick had struggled and faced many demons since he was around 10 years old and for 10 years he has lived a life that was right for him, and the path he needed to travel.
He will be remembered for his cheeky smile, overflowing amount of energy, charisma, can-do attitude, and his great guitar playing, and music writing.
It is with sadness for everyone who had met Nick, that his beautiful bright light has gone out on this earth plane. I feel that he is at peace in a much greater place on the “other side” where he is happy.
His amazing parents acknowledged that they had Nick for 10 years longer than what they thought they would, and are very grateful for that. Their sobering and beautiful acceptance has allowed us to all cope with this loss a little easier. Their perspective on this tragic loss is one of gratitude and love.

May we all be more aware of our loved ones around us and not take them for granted, and not let them leave the house in the morning without saying goodbye and to make peace with them if needed. Hug your children and tell them you love them, and do it as many times as you can. They are a gift from God and are to be cherished – no matter what. Be grateful for your loved ones every day and image if you dare, what your life would be with them gone! Do you need to change your perspective towards someone you love?

Now send them a message, a blessing and hug them as often.


We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
