Away

I'm away for a couple of days and won't have internet access.

I'll still be working my way through the wonderful Soul Coaching book, it's already packed in my bag!


I'll be catching up on all of your inspirational blogs as soon as I can!

Energy Zappers & Juicers ~ Day 10

As stated in the Soul Coaching book

"An energy zapper is anything that lowers your energy and thus decreases your life force. Often you become so used to living with these zappers that you are not even conscious of their effect on you. Just becoming aware of them will diminish their power."

I am aware of a couple of energy zappers;

* my daughter's father ~ having to talk/deal with him (another 6 years til she's 18!)

* when I say yes instead of no to avoid upsetting someone/hurting their feelings

* doing something I dislike

* shopping (I dislike it!)

"I am moving into harmony with everyone and everything in my universe."

Today's affirmation was difficult; it just didn't ring true for the day (it would've last week when I was relaxed!).

It's well & truly water week!

Day 9 Soul Coaching

Rain gauge on my outdoor sink in our vegie garden area

It's raining, it's pouring.......and it has been since late last night!!

I love rain; it cools the air, waters our gardens, fills up my 2 rainwater tanks, tops up our pool (we lose a lot of water to evaporation in summer), helps the farmers crops and fills the dams which supply our water supplies.

I am so thankful for the rain!!


Today's affirmation from the Soul Coaching book is

"My life experiences have positive, powerful meanings."

I was to think about what meanings I gave to everything that happened to me throughout the day. I tried give positive meanings.....it's something I will continue to work on.

Due to family commitments I didn't get around to the cleaning task for the day so I will do it tomorrow along with that days tasks.

I'm off to have a shower before bed and wash away any negativity!

Turning Points in Your Life ~ Day 8 (Water)

This is the beginning of Water Week and as water traditionally represents emotions it will be interesting to see what happens throughout the week.

Today has been about examining turning/significant points in my life.

I have a few that jump into mind immediately but I'm going to stick with writing them in my journal only.

Today's affirmation in the book is

"I unconditionally accept my feelings....and what I feel is not who I am."

I must admit I haven't been very focused today.......tomorrow is a fresh start!!!

Water wise I have hand watered the garden (I prefer this to using a sprinkler as I enjoy it), swum laps in our backyard pool and washed my hair.

Tomorrow I need to wash away my negativity whilst showering!!

New Year ~ New Outlook

As 2008 ended I began reading inspiring blog posts with wonderful reflections on the year gone by and aspirations for the new year.

I used to write "New Year Resolutions" as then beat myself up mentally for not getting them done.

This new year has me looking at things differently.

I have discovered many wonderful blogs and thank you all for what you write.

This wood carving in the photo below was a Christmas present from my husband and daughter, a great surprise as I'd been admiring it in the shop for a while!!

Today when looking at it I thought of it as a door through which I'm in the process of stepping.

This year I aim to

* look on things more positively

* relax and enjoy more

* listen to my intuition

* learn to love myself &

* create with confidence

Exploring Your Soul Mission ~ Day 7

Day 7 (which was yesterday) was about beginning to explore my soul mission in life by listening for signs, coincidences and synchronicities.

I didn't notice any as I went about my day (shopping, trying to stay cool in the humidity, swimming) but I hope it will come to me as I progress through this book.

The day's affirmation was;

"Who I am is enough"

That doesn't resonate with me as I battle with my thoughts............


What an end to air week though ~ a day of heat and humidity. The air was so thick!!

Lightening Up ~ Day 6

photo taken in my garden Jan 08

"I am safe and centred no matter where I am."

Today is about letting go of internal clutter; clearing the mind.

I attempted to do this whilst hand watering the garden but no matter what I had thoughts streaming through my mind. It was not possible to try and let it float by like a cloud. I am not too bothered by this at present as I already feel such a change for me; for the past couple of days I've been more relaxed than I usually am!

In a few moments when I go to bed I shall try again to clear my mind........
