ARDYSS

Well folks, I’m sharing a financial SECRET with you today. I, who never tries mlm businesses, have signed onto ARDYSS. My reason? Lisa Nichols of the Secret was in town and she is helping to bring this to Canada. The rest of the reasons? See my note attached. If she’s behind this then I am too! My second reason? I want to have loads of financial ability to build my abuse foundation. My third reason? I want to continue coaching women in transition and help them financially, this is an excellent way to support that. My fourth reason? Body magic…a body fitting garment. I’ve tried it, it’s amazing. So, if you know of somebody who is wanting to make some extra, of lots of extra money I’m here to help.

How I spent my fake summer

I’m putting on my fake bathing suit, wearing fake sun screen, carrying my fake beach towel in my fake bag with my fake sandals on my feet and heading on over to the fake lake to sit in a fake Muskoka chair to make sure the media people show a fake Canadian sitting at the side of the fake lake and then show the rest of the world how fake it all is. I might even take a trip in the fake canoe. Good thing they found a use for the 2 million slated for, oh I don’t know, homeless programs perhaps. Phew I feel much better now!

What a day for a day. Dream

Some of you will be in the right age bracket to know the song "what a day for a day dream, custom made for a day dreaming guy…" some of you won’t so I just sang it for you!
I like the words in the song and, since I’m a purveyor of words, and ponderer of things, I did both today. I’ve had a day of processing life, how we connect, dis-connect, re-connect: death, what it means, why some seem to leave too soon and others too late. I was pondering because my niece’s fiance died yesterday before reaching his 27th birthday. He’d had cancer and had battled it for three years: he did not give up, he did not give in, he is missed, he was loved.
So, if today had been my last day I’d have been ok with it but I’ve got a lot more living to do before I run out of life. That led me to the song but I changed it a little bit in consideration of the passing of Aaron.
"What a day for a day. Dream."
If you had a magic wand and one wish what would it be? What’s the reason you’re waiting for the magic wand instead of going ahead with that dream right now? You have a day: dream: go: do:….for some it’s already too late.

when the day seems normal

Today was a great day for me. I met with a couple of really nice people whom I’ve known for a while and I’ve agreed to make an investment in my future by jumping into a company called Ardyss with them. I have had a chance to check it out and the products are something I believe in and, if Lisa Nichols, of the Secret, is on board well then, so am I.
After that I went to my cousin’s house for a bbq and happily lots of my other cousins were there, and my aunt and a few other people I really enjoyed meeting. We had a great time connecting. It’s been a while. For me this was a good day.
When we got home we received a message that our niece’s fiance, aged 23, had succumbed to his cancer, much faster than anybody thought. For his family, for our niece, for her family, this has been a horrible day.
Same day, different events.
Which led me to ponder how we be who we be when we meet somebody. Sometimes I hear people say "oh that guy was such a jerk." or "oh geez that woman is such an unfriendly person." Well maybe yes, maybe no: did you take the time to ask how they were, to understand what they’re going through or did you just jump in with your own mind made up about how that person is?
One of the four agreements, from Don Miguel Ruiz, don’t make assumptions: You never know and you wont’ know and it doesn’t matter as far as I’m concerned. If somebody’s having a bad day why not try to make it better not worse?
And, to Kelly, and to Aaron, RIP Aaron, you were too young, you were much loved, you will be missed.

doors

It’s Saturday which means, really, I don’t have to work. My boss is quite reasonable about how I set my hours and making sure I take care of ME…I’m glad for that, but it helps when I am my boss!
I’ve been presented with a lot of opportunities this past week and I am holding a perspective of opening and closing doors.
So, I’m closing doors on scarcity, bye bye, you won’t be missed.
I’ve opened the doors to complete and absolute abundance, thanks in part to Lisa Nichols whom I met a few days ago.
Do you know of her? Lisa Nichols? Think the Secret…yup that’s the one. The Law of Attraction teacher. She just stopped by Canada to say hi, to pass on a message of love and to share some abundance tips with us. Thank you Ms. Nichols.
I am closing a door to ageing ungracefully. Enough already, this is just plain not fun some days. I am opening the doors, full wide open, to ageing well, to living well, to living my life to the end instead of running out of living before I run out of life.
So, doors open, doors close, some sit ajar, ( I love that word) Hey, a joke, when is a door not a door? When it’s ajar!
I’m rambling…..I am closing the door forever, slamming it shut tight in fact, to the abuse in my life, it’s gone, we’re history, I’ve taken my lessons, I’m done, bye bye.
And, finally, I open the door to accepting that I am me, weird, wonderful, caring, loving, compassionate, kinda funny sometimes, gentle, kind and lovable.
I think that’s an open and shut case myself!

something in the air?

I have been back and forthing for about a week now, commuting to various events, contracts, visits, picking up and dropping off my beloveds at or from my home, the regular house stuff in there as well. I’ve had a chance today to finally sit and collect up my thoughts and I have to tell you it’s been a whirlwind week. I say that in a very good way.
I have had many conversations with many people about life changes, shifts in energy, new perspectives….You know that song by Phil Collins " I can feel it coming in the air tonight? Hold on…."
Is it just me, and I don’t think it is, or is there a shift happening? I know there are quite a few believers in energy shifts and it would appear they’re all feeling the same things. Something electric, something really exciting, something fundamentally different and monumentally life changing is happening.
Can you feel it? What’s it like for you? Do you notice this shift? I can tell you this, I am beyond excited to start this new journey, to explore and uncover the "what" of this shift. I kinda feel like an explorer out charting a new path and, you know what?, it’s really exciting.
You feeling it too?

Playing catch up

It’s taken me a while to learn to accept help when it’s offered but I get it now.

Yup it’s true, I’m the kind of person who, when asked "how can I help?" would have looked at you and said, "it’s ok I can do it on my own but thanks for asking." Took me a while, and the work with two coaches, to realize that abundance was being offered and I was not accepting. Ok, ok, I get it so now I’m offering it out. For anybody who signs onto my platinum level coaching, yes the best one, in June they’ll pay for 90 days of coaching but receive 120 days and, because it took me a while to figure this out and I’m playing catch up, if they sign up before June 15 I’m also offering a free one on one hour long discovery session with me. That’s a $300 value alone. So, if you know of somebody who’s been saying they want some coaching why not help them out and pass this onto them?

K’naan and “when I get older” good from bad

I did a video blog today about things that happen to us, how we choose to see the events and how we choose to let them teach us. It’s always a lesson, it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.

We don’t come with manuals…

A blog update about people and puppies and technology. When in doubt, read the instructions right? Well, we humans don’t come with a set of instructions BUT if we did what would your survivor manual look like?
