"Fairy Land"

Hello to all from Australia. The weather is beginning to cool as autumn brings its change of season. Today I am feeling a little as though I'm "off with the fairies". I have days like these where I find it difficult to concentrate on any one thing in particular; not good at work because my mind is "jittery' and is very easily distracted.
Have you ever had this happen to you? Focus and gratitude is an important part of life. When I find myself in this 'grey' area, it is sometimes difficult to bring myself out of it until I realize what's happening and consciously change my thinking. This forces my mind to come back to earth and work with me instead of against me. It works and I find myself back on track fairly quickly. I am very grateful that I can do this
Our mind is a marvelous thing and will always influence our emotions. Our mind TELLS us how to feel. Now until you can remember that this is happening and know when to change your way of thinking, you will always be at the mercy of your emotions. Does this make sense?
When you wake up grumpy, knowing you have another awful day at work, you set yourself up for a grumpy day at work; and it just keeps getting worse! I'm sure you know this. BUT if you tell yourself "I am going to have a great day at work", and say this out loud to yourself with a smile on your face, then your emotions will follow and you will have a great day, just as you have told yourself you would!
Think about this the next time you are rushing to get to that meeting on time or running to catch the bus. It's ok to hurry in order to be on time but when you begin to rush, you end up making mistakes that cost you precious time. Your mind should never be rushed. Take your time and if you plan your day you will never feel the need to rush.
One more thing to think of when you are stuck in traffic and late for that meeting; listen, if you can, to mellow music and as the traffic flows, so will you feel mellow. Let's face it, getting all anxious about the situation will not make it any better and playing music that gets your blood pumping will increase the anxiety. You will only feel frustrated once you arrive at your destination and possibly make mistakes that will influence the rest of your day. Take the time to plan or plan on being late! Either way it's your decision.
God Bless

Change the way you think.......

"When you change the way you think about things, the things you think about will change." If you already think great thoughts and are always grateful for all that you have, then CONGRATULATIONS! If your thinking needs a bit of work, then start each day with a positive thought, BEFORE you even get out of bed! Find just one thing to be grateful for every day and watch as your world begins to move along with this momentum of positive thinking.

When you think abundance in all things, you will attract abundance in all things. As they say, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!" This is true with respect to your way of thinking. You will become richer in your grateful thoughts and attract more grateful thoughts and a genuine feeling of fulfilment that only you can bring! We all have the desire to become rich materially, to have all that other wealthy people take for granted. Money! But did you know that when you get to the basics of money and all that having tons of it involves, will you be really happy? More pressure, so called friends always after a slice, the knowing that the more you spend the more you have to make back to continue your lifestyle?

Think happiness and joy in your mind, treat your body as a temple, and your life will be enhanced, more rewarding, more energetic and perhaps even longer for you to enjoy the things that really matter!

Money is a lot when you don't have it , I am more than aware of this as I have gone through, and sometimes still go through the times when money is not available to pay a bill on time, however, if you thought about your problems carefully, paying particular attention to each one, I can guarantee you that a solution will just pop into your mind! This is your cue to take note of the thought and take action!

You don't have to believe in Guardian Angels or the like, but there is ONE thing that most of us, if not all, can agree on and that is there is a force much more powerful than our own in this world. We have a creator and are a part of ONE energy! Imagine then, if we were all to focus that energy on creating a loving and caring environment for everyone around us.....wow! Peace might just be found!

Kindness and gratitude is the key to a wonderful life. A kind smile, handshake, or kind words will just about make another person's day. How does it make you feel when you are the cause of another person's happiness? When you don't expect anything in return for a kind gesture, you are rewarded always with your own feelings of happiness! Disappointment disappears because you don't expect anything.

Have a wonderful day!

Life, love and children

Good morning to all in Australia and around the world. The day has started delightfully, with the sun peeking through the soft clouds to reveal its warmth. The ocean is a calm blue and a gentle cool breeze stirs the air around my apartment. It's the middle of summer yet there has hardly been a sunny dry day as the rain we so desperately need continues to fall. The trouble is now parts of Queensland is flooding and in real need of assistance. I must say, where I live it has been wonderful and now with the cool southerly breeze kissing my skin it is a pleasure to live here and be alive!
While at work, I often sit at my desk and gaze out at the amazing sky and the trees that are planted around the buildings of industry where my office is located. When the breeze tickles their leaves and I am listening to the gentle music combined with the sounds of nature caught by Terry Oldfield, I feel incredibly blessed. The relaxation of my mind encourages deeper thoughts and reflections of my life. I am so very grateful for my husband, my children, my grandchild and the many wonderful people that have walked into and out of my life for each one of them has touched my heart in a warm and inspiring way. They may not know it and I didn't at the time, but reflecting over your life gives you that knowing feeling of gratitude and brings to you the reason they came into your life. It may have been for the friendship you were missing or some information that you've been searching for even though you were not aware of it at the time!
Remember to take 5 mins or even better, half an hour or an hour out of your day for you alone. This is not for selfish reasons but allows you to actually reflect on your day and what you wish to achieve for the remainder of the day or, if your day is finished and the children are tucked into their bed, it might be a time where you can plan the next day. Maybe you could use the time to think of nothing at all! To 'quiet' your mind. I know it has helped me to become a more positive person as it allows me to see the beautiful wonder in the world that surrounds us. By not hearing or seeing the constant flow of bad news in the media, you might actually see the beauty of the natural world we are a part of.
A pleasant scene,like that of a waterfall or colourful flowers gently swaying in the breeze can do wonders to your soul and bring the feeling of happiness to you instantly as can the laughter of an innocent child. A smile given to another human being can be just as rewarding. When you help another person without expectation of anything in return, how much more rewarding is it to your self esteem?
Look at life the way you wish your life to be and it will provide the things you need to keep you happy. Be grateful for all you have and the people in your life as they show you love, friendship or a smile and you will be truly blessed.

YOU are the result of your own thoughts!....what are you thinking right now?

"All that we are is a result of what we have thought" (Buddha)
What do you think when you hear or read words like that said by Buddha? There are thousands of inspirational words to be found through the great teachers of our world, past and present but the ones that stay with me are the ones that appeal to my inner soul. My soul needs to believe the words are a source of guidance for me and will improve my life. "Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions". (Albert Einstein)
Your current life is a product of what you have thought. If you don't like what is happening in your life right now, change your thoughts. Surround yourself with people or the things that encourage good thoughts or visit places that promote great feelings. You'll see and feel the difference. Enjoy the sunny days and the rainy days. See the beauty in each and be reminded that the world will continue to move regardless. You can be as significant or insignificant to this world as you choose to be. "Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right" (Henry Ford).
Take responsibility for your actions and make them actions of purpose. Find your purpose, you know you have one somewhere if you think hard enough, and use it! It might be to write stories that inspire others, or it might be stories to entertain, a mystery to solve, a dream of far away lands or your thoughts on the world. That's why you're here, isn't it? You've been led to this place for a reason.
Be the creator of your own destiny!

Careful what you wish for........

Good Morning world! Wake up to another glorious day. The sun is shining even when it's raining or snowing or windy weather. When the sun shines in your heart, it's always a glorious day.
You might ask, do I always think this way? Well, yes and no. Yes, because even when times were tough, money was tight and my life in turmoil, I have pulled through for my love of my family and life. And no, because I admit there were times when I wanted out of this life, for a fleeting moment, when the world seemed to be against only me. But life hands you different challenges that let you know you are worthy. Life will give you what YOU think you need. And if what you get, you think is tough, then it's because you've wanted it but didn't think of the consequences attached. "Reactions for every action" You know this.
The "action" is your thoughts, created!
Dreams, fantasies, wishes; imagine if they ALL came true. Do we ever think about the consequences of those thoughts? Mostly NO because if we did it would delay the thing we wanted and we are so focused on getting that thing that we don't think of the end result. However, projecting yourself sometimes into the future of how your life would be, might be a good thing.
Having children, for example, is a wonderful dream for some, and an amazing feeling, it truly is to nurture and love this tiny being. Most will tell, me included, that the late nights, very little sleep, always on the go, in fact, the lifetime responsibility to this life you created, is the best thing in the world and worth every moment.
That being said, it will ALWAYS change your life forever. Most in good ways, some in drastic ways. Personally I know someone who, late in life decided to give her new husband his first child, she had 3 from her 1st marriage. So they tried and they won! Twins! They are gorgeous, let me tell you, but oh how she suffered. The pregnancy left her with arthritis, her hair fell out and her whole life changed again! She was 37 when this happened and now the twins are 4 and she also has 4 grandchildren, is renovating her home, works part time as a bartender and still finds time to spend with them all!
It all comes back to the thoughts and desires and wishes we have.
"Be careful what you wish for.....you just might get it!"
Today I am grateful for my husband, my 4 wonderful children, my beautiful granddaughter, my daughter-in-laws to be and this beautiful day. I am also grateful for the many inspirational people that have touched my heart with their wisdom. I am grateful for my imagination that has led me to the desire to complete my first novel. I am grateful also that I love to read books that have taken me to magical places and shown me other worlds apart from my own.
"You create you universe as you go along".
I couldn't imagine any other universe but my own as I'm sure you couldn't imagine any other but yours. Think about that!

The world is changing.......can YOU hear it?

The last day of Spring in Australia, you beauty! The first day of summer will dawn tomorrow.
Hello again from the Gold Coast of Australia. The day has started a little overcast as the cool soft breeze gently drifts through the open doors to my apartment. The ocean is a steely gray colour and there sits a lone surfer hoping to catch the mornings first huge wave. He won't find many today as the waves lazily creep to the shore. I imagine the feeling of sitting there on a board, rocking silently to the rise and fall of the waves, that it is almost like listening to the earth breath. The feeling must be absolute bliss!
I am very grateful today, as I am everyday, for the chance to live right here. The sounds of the traffic racing about their day on the busy highway out front is drowned by the gentle roar of the ocean out back. Both are a reminder that the world continues moving no matter what.
I am grateful today for my family, my friends and also that I have the choice to voice my thoughts in this way.
Thoughts........they can lead to many things. You can choose to bottle them up inside and never act on them, or you can choose to unleash them to the world and watch what happens. When you decide to share a thought, the universe will act on it for you, thus creating, for YOU, the thing you were thinking of. I know this sounds corny, but think about it. It's true!
Can you hear the world moving in a new direction? Thousands of people want to help YOU achieve your best, including me. Through my own transformation and the fantastic feeling of, well, bliss, I have decided that I want to help others achieve good things too! I am not a "licenced" anything, no diplomas in psychology, philosophy or anything like that. I am just a normal human being who, through wanting a change in my life, have had amazing things presented to me. I haven't become wealthy by way of millions of dollars, I really do live from week to week, however I have become wealthy in the knowledge that I have a purpose now in my life, and that to me is worth more than any amount of money.
We are finally awakening to a dawn of true change! The world is changing to promote peace by peaceable actions and they are through people like you and me by way of our kindness to each other. We are becoming more responsible for our environment and the world around us, and it's global! We are not sitting back waiting for the governments of our countries to make a difference, we are all reaching out to help the world ourselves and united we will win!
It starts with you and me and the thousands of life coaches and speakers, those who have the ability to show you the goodness in yourself.
I recently listened to a series of Cd's by a well known human development trainer and best selling author. He has appeared on television shows, including OPRAH and inspired me in so many ways. His coaching style is unique and sometimes bizarre but his way with words left me feeling that I can accomplish anything! I felt wonderful, not the type of high you feel after a hyped up lecture that leaves you feeling all pumped for an hour or so after then deflated because you weren't given the right tools to continue feeling that way. I mean, because I listened to them every day, I started to believe and it was wonderful! "One Decision Can Change Your Life Forever!" - Anthony Robbins - Click Here To See Event Schedule!
To know that God has given us the ability to think and be "God like" is an amazing thing. Don't be scared by it or offended by it. He Created this entire earth including his best creation. YOU! You have his qualities because HE wanted you to have them. But you have to Remember to Remember how to use them and that's where all these people around the world want to help you. Imagine the power that can bring and the way the world will change for the better when we all begin to believe in ourselves? Imagine what YOU can create!

Music to soothe the soul

Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful day here on the Gold Coast as the sun slowly rises over the few soft clouds to create another sun filled day for all to enjoy. The waves are gentle and serene today and the water a pale grayish green. I imagine once the sun breaks through the clouds, the water will become the gorgeous deep blue I have grown to love.
I have been blessed with the chance to live on the beach for the past 2 years and now can't imagine living anywhere else. The sometimes soft, sometimes roaring sound of the ocean soothes me in a strange way. I can sit, hypnotised by the waves for hours.
Do you find that when you are surrounded by the beauty that perhaps you have created in your home or by the quiet serenity of nature's song, that you could just let the world drift by without a care?
We can't always live in idyllic places that promote this kind of feeling so when you have the opportunity to take time out to just sit and enjoy the magic of our earth, allow your mind to be silent and listen to the sounds of the sweet music. While your time might be limited, and whose isn't these days, believe me I know about this, I have raised 4 very sport minded, have to be at every sport carnival possible, and might I say, mighty handsome, boys, I know a little about time management; take at least 1 hour through your day to listen to music that soothes the soul.
Most of us live and work in the city which drowns out the true sounds of nature so invest in some therapeutic music. Click Here! ......for The Breathtaking Power Of The Reiki Symbols -Captured In Music For The First Time......
Listen while you work, play with your children or just sit and relax with a cuppa and feel your emotions change. Truly, if you do this daily you will find a calmer place deep inside yourself bubble to the surface, your children will feel it too, and you will eventually be able to quiet your mind and have more clarity then ever before.
Think about it, music has always affected people. In any number of ways, music changes your emotions. Consider the next time you go to a nightclub or even shopping and notice the music being played. It is there to entice you to spend more time in the store or nightclub or wherever you might be shopping or being entertained, so you can then spend more money of course! Have you noticed how fashion stores aimed at the younger generation, play today's funky music, and very loudly, I might add, to encourage young shoppers to stay and spend in their store? Nightclubs do the same, and yes, I was hypnotized by them in my younger days, I quite like dancing and the powerful emotions and stress it helps to release; they want you to PARTY and spend money while you're at it! Don't get me wrong, I love all kinds of music and listen to most, it depends on how I want to feel at that moment.
Enjoy the music though, whatever your selection but remember to open your mind to the many very different genres available to us today.
Above all, it is good to remember that the music you choose to listen to will ALWAYS influence your way of thinking, and what you are thinking about, you will create! So, occasionally, listen to music that creates harmony and happiness in your life.
