Here I let you into the workings of my mind as I go about my days, and how the spirit of rich thinking occurs in my life, and can therefore occur in yours too. All comments very welcome, as I learn and grow from everyone!

Is Your Heart Really IN What You’re Doing?

Have you ever done something and your heart wasn’ t really in it? Yes of course you have, even if you can’ t think of what it is right now. I was considering this a couple of days ago when I was looking at my diary for next week.

This is the week that Philip will start his chemo treatment and instead of just assuming I was going to go with him to the hospital (which involves sitting tied to a drip for 9 hours and an overnight stay), I gave myself the opportunity to find out if I really wanted to go or not.

Depending on your point of view, this idea that I could NOT go might be [read more]

5 Essential Tips for Dealing with Shocks and Uncertainty

It’ s funny, isn’ t it, how the human race behaves as if it knows what is going to be happening from minute to minute. Most of us do this, most of the time. It is understandable of course, as there is a certain rhythm to life in that the sun rises and sets, the trees lose their leaves and then they grow again, and the sea continues to roll onto the shores of the beach, wave after wave. There are variations of course, in that sometimes we don’ t see the sun for the clouds, the leaves may fall earlier or later, and the waves may be bigger or smaller. But on the whole, there is some sense of [read more]

Business advice from Louise Hay!

I came across an interview with Louise Hay, founder of Hay House Publishing, from about five years ago, where she was asked what advice she had for small business owners. Here’s what she said:

‘Oh, my goodness! Get up in the morning, and bless your business. Bless the business! Bless the transportation you are going to use to get there. Bless the front door and every piece of merchandise in your store. Bless everybody who works for you and with you. Bless all the suppliers. Bless them with love. Bless every person who walks in that door with love.

Mentally put so much love and joy within and around your establishment that it is a magnet for people. The worst [read more]

Being a Mover and Shaker

When I returned from the Movers and Shakers conference, having been all fired up and ready to go with a book proposal for Hay House, I got absolutely stopped in my tracks by Philip’s diagnosis with cancer.

Suddenly, book proposals, conferences and radio shows (all on offer from Hay House if I won the book contract) seemed totally unimportant. Suddenly, all I could cope with was the effects of a total shock on my system. Overnight, any worries I had were directed instead to matters of real life and death, rather than things I had previously thought were life and death.

But I’m really glad to say that, with only three weeks to go, I’ve resurrected the old idea I [read more]

Being vs Doing

A client recently sent me this lovely mantra (thanks Jen!):

Just to be is a blessing
Just to live is holy
Just to be, just to live
is a blessing, is holy.

So often we spend our time doing, and forgetting that being is at least as important if not more so. Recently I heard Wayne Dyer speaking on this, where he stated that he now felt himself (at 69 years old) to be a spiritual being having a human experience. I asked myself that, and I ask you too: Are you a spritual being having a human experience, or a human being having a spiritual one?

I dare you to be honest about this! Perhaps you know you’d like [read more]
