You wonder sometimes if we had ‘user manuals’ when we were born that things would turn out different, and there would be more ‘common sense’ in the world. Just reading the paper I was completed shocked to read about a mother  who left her son in the car whilst it was scorching hot outside. The mother claims that ‘she forgot he was in the car’ as she got carried away doing the Christmas shopping! I know I shouldn’t judge however this behaviour is so wrong, how can you forget your own child whilst you do the shopping? Thank goodness a passerby heard the screams and broke a window and got him out. How hysterical would that little toddler be? And the psychological damage created in that traumatic event, it could really impact him. If we had user manuals the mother would know better. It would be stated, that under no circumstances to leave children alone in the car. Yet I guess we are all so different and follow different sets of values and beliefs that to create a user manual for al...

A client of mine has a new saying ‘I love the world’ as she achieved a major goal in her life and all was finally going her way. What a great attitude to have. When you vibrate from this space only good things happen, how true is that? If you achieve what you set out to do then it is natural to feel good and for some people like my client they just want to hug and love everybody! They want to share their happiness with anybody who will listen and shout it from the roof tops! Success is sweet that it true especially if you have gone through so much to finally get there the journey does test you in ways you never thought possible. Yet you persisted and you overcame each obstacle even to the point of getting into more financial debt as a result because you knew it was all worth it and the result would change everything. How I can relate to you, sometimes you wonder in your midst of madness determination you question if this is the right way? This sheer madness takes you in directions th...

I was reminded once again how important it is to be dedicated to your health, when health fails us we are reminded how delicate we can be. During these times we also realise that taking our health for granted is not going to help us in the long term. In fact if we neglect any part of our lives we most likely pay with pain until we can get it sorted and back into a positive balance.   As my yoga teacher said recently “mastery of anything takes time and dedication" how true is that? All the great discoveries of our time followed this thinking, Thomas Edison was a master at perseverance and dedication, and he kept going until he reached his goal of producing a practical light blub which lasted for 40 hours.   So mastery is the journey so you need to keep at it until you get really good at it, just see sports-people who keep practising day in day out, or musicians who just keep playing their instrument so they can achieve self mastery. There is no quick fix; just do the tim...

This is the time to reflect and to take stock of what we have in our lives. Many people simply just go shopping and spend money on gifts to show love. Remember the love languages? Well some people show love through gifts and others require words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch and quality time. If gifts hit your button then this time of the year is perfect for you and you will feel loved all over. Just remember your loved ones may need one of the other love languages to feel loved and wanted so remember that nothing beats quality time with someone you really care for. Sharing is part of this time of the year too, celebrating your successes and milestones. Acknowledge this and know that you are attracting more good things into your life. On a personal level, 2009 has been a wonderful year, one of my best, what can I say it marked the year of being a parent and well I am still on a high. Professionally I can be doing more, I guess that is my expectation, yet being a car...

Attitude is everything, if you have a crappy attitude you: • Age quicker • Suffer from stress internally and externally • Attract disaster upon disaster • Have failed relationships because you are so crappy no one will tolerate you • Pay double for things because people don’t offer any discounts (most likely they increase their prices!) • You are always running late because you are busy complaining about the bad service • You rarely go out and thus have very few friends • You hate Christmas and your birthday because people who are supposed to love you forget • Life is SO HARD • Other people are luckier than you • You have had a tough life and you see no way out Just imagine living like this? Today I met someone with these characteristics he was our bus driver on the way home. We were in the city and it was a busy bus route to jump on especially if you have a pram, the driver was angry and bitter, a crappy attitude alrig...
