Early start on hot summer days

Yes it's hot...very hot and my body is not quite sure it's a good thing. Yeterday I did some work in the garden and it looks lovely but it was too hot for me to finish. So this morning I was up and in the garden by 7am, having already done my Yoga and walked the dog!! Yes I know, I will need a rest later, under the sun shade with a good book I hope.

Makes me wonder if we are able to take real advantage of our climate. It's not like it will be hot day after day as it is in some parts of the world. We get variety and in each weather condition we need to find something to love. I love the rain and even though I would rather it not be today, it's lovely when it comes....just like the sun and it's intensity at the end of June.

Its Sunday and I have a client this afternoon,this is not a regular occurance but I try to fit people in when they can make it. It's a young child today, so his Mother can sit in the shade with a cold drink and take a little time for herself.

Another job off the list!

On Friday I completed my accounts, filled in my tax return and heaved a sigh of relief!! I know this should not be a problem for me (many years as an accountant) but when I do other peoples accounts I get paid, when I do mine it's a chore!

How long do we procrastinate about doing things? How much energy does this procrastination take? How much easier then to make the time and JUST DO IT!!!
Yes I know, I can tap for that. I have to clear the decks of long stjavascript:void(0)anding 'stuff to do', business is picking up all round and soon I will have more work than I can handle.

I spent yesterday at Cheltenham Race Course attending a convention for Forever Freedom products. This is one of my businesses which fits so well with my ethos of natural, chemical free products for a natural chemical free life (or as much as we can). It is also a business opportunity as health and well being is the fastest growing area in all economies. Many people are now disillusioned with the medical and pharmaceutical fraternity and are looking for natural alternatives.

Well I am all fired up so anyone needing any information, you know who to call.

Health and wealth to you all.

Another Month another newsletter

A few weeks ago Patricia and I decided that our two weekly newsletter should change to just one a month; partly because we are increasingly busy and it is a time consuming activity, but also we have both got huge writing projects on the go.

Patricia is writing a book on using EFT for the caring professionals and the thousands of unsung hero's who care for relatives and friends with little recognition or support. I am also half way through a series of articles on EFT for relationships which, if I have enough material, may make a small book and on the other hand I am writing a novel....!! Not as auspicious maybe by just as important to me as it started with the most vivid dream I can ever remember.

I try to write down my dreams but mostly as soon as I wake they disappear, like gossamer threads on an autumn morning.

Today is Newsletter Day and though now I have it prepared, I am thinking of using a more up to date and technological system to mail it....wait and see what happens ....or not!

The passing of time

Just had a few days with my daughter and her two little girls. The youngest was 2 years old on Saturday and the speed of life and learning takes my breath away.

From trying to force odd shaped bricks into the right holes in a tub one day to saying "Square, triangle, round and star"and getting them right the next!

I think all adults should spend time with young children, even if they have none in their own family, just to re connect with the story of life. Dwelling only on your own time frame is limiting, try looking at life from the aspect of a mere beginner; maybe that will make sense of time passing and the reality of life for the rest of your time and your perpetual growth.

If we cease to grow, learn and expand our thinking we may as well just give up. The joy in life is the unexpected, the new experiences and new people to love, especially the little ones.

Changes

Well it's all change again...the weather is cooler and rain is on the way. It seem that my business is getting underway again, many clients coming back for more sessions and a couple of new clients!!
After weeks of 'drought' it's changing and for the better.

We all have to cope with changes, life's like that. When we learn the copings mechanisms that help us the move and accept the changes, we will find that we can go with the flow.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. ...

Have a good weekend and tap for the serenity to accept the changes that life throws at you!!

Summer is here

What a wonderful few days we are having. Summer is officially here and it's hot. My garden is lovely, the vegetables are growing well and I am getting lot's of excercise watering the old fashiond way with an outside tap and a watering can. Maybe I should get a hose...!!!

Just been reading Patricia's blog and having sent my particulars to the same agency she works for, I too am hoping to do care work again.
After her little encounter with the emergency services I hope I don't have to face up to that just yet a while. Fortunatly EFT will help get me through any bad patches.....!!

I am sure most readers will understand that working as a therapist in a recession does not increase the bank balance very much . So it's onward and upwards to find a part time job that will help to pay the bills.
