How much time do we have?

How would you live if you knew that your time was already half over.
How hung up would you be on the trivial things, on the “what ifs”?

I hear a song that reminds me of my late mother whom I still freshly mourn…..it has been 4 months. She (like us all) planned for the future- worried about retirement and sadly didn’t get to enjoy it. Dying at 62!

62 – I turned 35 last month and that could mean my life is potentially more than half over.

How much of your life is left?

With that perspective- how important is your time???
How closely do you cherish moments with loved ones?

How much more would you love, knowing, that each moment is one more moment off the board and one more opportunity to be open- honest- caring and real- gone.... Irreplaceable

Spend time absorbing the moments. Spend time creating memories- not spending money accumulating more objects- toys- love stifling distractions. Turn off the gadgets, turn on your heart and give yourself to your family and friends.

2009 could be Devine…
May enjoyable things come your way and you take the time to enjoy them.

2008 in review below. What did you achieve? What can you plan for in ’09?

May the angels of loved ones past whisper reminders to spend time- stimulate the heart in yourself and others and share love with all.

Happy New Year- make it memorable.

Me and my year……

A turbulent- spiritually challenging-exciting-stimulating year.

I read for pleasure- to stimulate the senses. 17 books for ’08.

Anatomy books to please the mind’s desire for clarity.

Spiritual development books to please the desire to be fun and loving.

Business books to please the ambitious workaholic.

Course work books/ study to please the desire to expand and grow and aid the healing potential.


I’m a realist. A creative adventurous realist, but a realist none the less. Fiction...you’ll lose me in a flash.
So movies and I it is seldom I indulge. With all my travel in 2008 though, I did catch a few flicks in-flight.

Kungfu Panda The martial artist in me could not resist!!!

Premonition Psychological thrillers, my favourite!!

Jumper Okay a little make believe. But my one ‘genie in a bottle’
wish has always been to tele- transport my self!!


WINS

 Ist CST coach in Australia (www.flowacademy.com.au) and a whole new global family/ network to meet and get to know.
 A stronger bond with my two sisters. Through the loss of our mother we have changed our interpersonal dynamics and I
have won a new bond and enthusiasm for the simple things in life…human connection. Acknowledging others- making
time and doing simple things, just making contact and spending time.
 Faith in life and love. I am absolutely unlimited- 2009 WILL BE DEVINE… 2009 WILL BE MINE. (year of the Ox!) 


LOSSES

 The little girl too shy and scared to launch off that ‘Springboard’…..I am out there now
(thanx Coach Sonnon- www.rmaxinternational.com) and I am ready to fly in 2009.
 My cherished – courageous mother. I miss her strength and Noust.
I am grateful for all the trips I took across to WA to spend time. So many moments etched into my heart.
 A little more of my ego. A little less driven/triggered to be right! Things happen, life happens…
most of the time I can see things just are.
