It’s been a really ‘funny’ time recently… not quite “ha ha” type funny but more “mmmmmmm” type funny, if you get my drift!! 

 I’ve noticed really just how much I’ve tried to hold on to things when they had already expired their time…the great learning here is that the time for letting go comes whether you’re ready or not! 

Recently, I’ve had to face up to the reality that the growth and development of my core business means that I cannot always get involved with all the business opportunities that come my way.  This is fantastic for me – the fun and determination that I’ve had along the way is paying off.  This is also fantastic for the opportunities that I’ve had to walk away from as they will also now  be able to grow and develop with the right person alongside them.

I’ve been reminded that things happen the way they are supposed to happen. I don’t have to understand it but just trust that its right and so far so good!

Juicing…

Am really getting into this.  A friend of mine recommended a book to me called “7lbs in 7 days” and I was about to dismiss it as yet another diet book and definitely not one that I would be interested in.  However, it is actually about juicing rather than weight loss and was written by Jason “The Juicemaster” Vale - brilliant! 

To be honest, I wasn’t very good at eating lots of vegetables however, over the past few days I’ve been juicing carrots, apples, pineapples, beetroots, courgettes even spinach, kale and parsley. …and OMG…I love wheatgrass and spirulina!!!   All the juices in Jason’s book have tasted divine – bar one, which I will leave for you to discover yourself just like I did! – and the difference in my energy levels both mentally and physically in such a short space of time is remarkable.   I love it and will certainly continue juicing for the foreseeable future.   Let me know if you have any good juice or smoothie recipes.

Where have I been???

I know, I know, I know!!!  Mind you it was to be expected that I would take an unexplained absence from blogging… remember I did say in my inaugural gambit that it would be a miracle if I lasted more than a week!!

Anyhow, I must admit….I missed this weird cyber-journalling!  So, what have I been up to??  Well  I’m now a fully certified Master Practitioner in NLP!!  Extremely proud of this achievement as it has been a long time coming!!

Spent most of last week celebrating in one form or another… the highlight being that I got to see one of my ‘She-roes’ , Marianne Williamson, in person the other night as I attended a lecture she was giving in Central London – a fascinating and truly enlightening experience.  If you ever get the opportunity to hear Marianne speak – take it, you won’t regret it.

Phew…I need to sit down!

What a couple of weeks it has been!!  Its been a continuous round of living, living and more living!!! When is it all gonna stop?  The truth is I don’t know and I don’t want it to, but I’m quite happy to just keep riding this wave of excitement called life.

 Now before you start thinking that I’ve swallowed some self-help, psychobabble book or been watching “The Secret” or “What the Bleep?” The truth is that I am falling more and more in love with myself and my life on a daily basis – is that weird to do so or is it weird not to do so?

Don’t really want to go into too much detail – this is the internet, after all! – however, I beat myself up for a long time over what I SHOULD or SHOULDN’T be doing, looking or feeling and my birthday present to myself last year (November…yep, I’m a Scorpion and if your belief system is one which has expectations of that then prepare to be either disappointed or excited!) was that I was no longer gonna do that and that I was gonna give myself a different experience of me and my life by doing it differently.  

The greatest revelation, I suppose, in all of this has been that as a Specialist in Change & Development – I can actually be my own client! How fantastic is that?  And how comes I didn’t notice that before??   I am truly enjoying myself because through doing things differently and having an alternative experience, all areas of my life are going through a transition that feels exhilerating and producing some totally unexpected results – good ones too! 

My biggest learnings out of all this – i.e the things that I know for sure but was pretending that I didn’t:

• You can’t un-know what you know
• Life goes on so you may as well get involved!
• What you’re looking for could just well be under your nose.
• It doesn’t have to always make sense but it helps if it makes you smile!!

Head down and midnight oil still burning…

Yep, its course time again and you would think that by now I would have mastered the arts of preparation and allowing enough time for revision….yeah right!!!

 Instead I’m here frantically putting together my pre-course study, cramming in info that should have been in since last year and wondering how I’m gonna recreate Halle Berry’s look in the morning!!

Just wish me luck guys because when this is over I will be a Certified Master Practitioner…certified being the operative word here!!!  I wonder if the white coats are only for the staff!!

Reggae Reggae Sauce

Have you tried this yet? 

The avid Dragon’s Den fans amongst you may remember Levi – he was the guy who set his pitch to a nice, easy listening reggae tune.  Anyway, his Reggae Reggae jerk/marinade/BBQ sauce is now in Sainsbury’s so, of course, I had to buy it!  Fantastic – if you haven’t tried it yet then give it a go.  And for those of you watching the pounds (weight ones not sterling!) – it is also low fat, so even better!!

I love the blurb on the bottle “Tune into the flavours and put some music into your food”
