aha moment, shower clarity and new books

listening to a Danielle LaPorte interview started a trickle of thoughts that resulted in a crazy aha moment........ how on earth had I not come to this conclusion earlier ? It was there, waiting for me all along

I have no idea why (other than maybe it has something to do with me being a pisces), but I get unbelievable clarity & insights when I'm in the shower. In fact, whenever I'm in or under or surrounded by water..... maybe it's the flow of water that creates the flow of ideas. Whatever it is...I love it

eeeekkkk I bought 4 new books today ! There's something about book stores that I just can't resist, and when I'm inside it's already too late. An awesome mix today...... some learning, some inspiration, some cooking and some oh so guilty trashy reading

understanding value, a peek into the future and good chat

I'm learning more everyday about understanding what value you can add to people's lives. When you start to delve a bit deeper,  you get some clarity on what it is that you can offer. I'm committed to discovering more about what I can contribute, and today gave me the perfect opportunity to share something that would really make a difference.

a 50 minute presentation that was so simple and so mind-blowing at the same time. A peek into the future, what it could be like on this path and some really basic steps to get there. Wow, so grateful for that.

a good chat between friends means two people connecting, two people being present, two people listening, two people sharing, and two people laughing. You can only ever be responsible for your half, but wowzers, it's amazing what happens when you show up and be the change.

shimmer, simple souls and goofy show

I surfed the point early this morning.... the water was like glass. So clean and sparkly. The sun was shining so brightly it made the whole ocean shimmer.

there was an old boy out in the surf today. He sat on his board looking out to sea, and shouted 'Come on Huey*...' every now and then. He was totally content.... floating, in the early morning sunshine. It made me realise, surfers are such simple souls. I am proud to be one.

Home after work, and relieved that I have 4 days off to focus on what really lights me up. I take some time to wind down, and watch 2 episodes of New Girl. I love that show...so goofy and so funny


* for those who you who don't surf.... Huey is the God who creates waves..... I guess it's a mythical story, but it's awesome all the same

doing what's right for me, rice pudding and free as a bird

it's so important to let go of all of your 'shoulds'...... sometimes you just have to do what makes you feel good.  Take good care of yourself,  listen to your body... and your heart.... I was exhausted all day today, not really sure why, but I threw away my shoulds and my lists, and took the time to rest

mmmm homemade rice pudding with vanilla.... and raspberries mixed through... a bowl of pink wonderful-ness

we had a conversation tonight that pushed through a boundary. I'm proud that we moved through it as it would have been easier to see the wall and stop talking about it. But we scrambled over it together, with the help of honesty and integrity. The view from the other side was awesome. I feel free as a bird again.

respect, yikes moment and shared excitement

I met a man today who was a Vietnam Vet. He was humble, wise, kind and friendly. I immediately had infinite respect for him.

running around like a kid.... getting ready, making notes, making more notes, checking the time, being so excited I think I could explode.... a 'this is it' moment..... this is where my future lies

the only thing that is more exciting than a solo yikes moment is a shared one..... when words are flowing, abundant possibility surrounds us and we're buzzing on the opportunity

perfect wave, washing line and wet road

up early to surf and end up catching the most beautiful wave.....a sweet little right hander that peeled for what seemed like miles, with fun little sections and a few hoots from out the back

I put up a DIY washing line yesterday, and although this may seem strange to some, really enjoyed hanging my clothes out in the sunshine to dry.... the fresh smell of the clean clothes, the crisp sunshine and a little feeling of 'yay, I made this'

washed the car in the late afternoon light, it hasn't rained here for weeks, so suddenly I could smell that beautiful smell of wet tarmac after a hot day..... for some reason it reminds me of summer holidays
