Holding on to the joy when your life is crashing down around you
I am not a stranger to feeling like your world is falling apart. In fact, my life has taken a more downward dips than I care to admit is normal. However, none of us are immune to adversity. No matter what someone's life looks like from the outside, there is 100% chance that they have experienced heartache, and failure, and guilt and despondence. We are all living this amazingly crazy,...
Positive Parenting
This is an excerpt from the book 'Money and the Law of Attraction' by Esther and Jerry Hicks. Not normally the book I would go to for parenting advice, but I tend to find tidbits of wisdom to support my parenting journey in all media I consume, as it is a passion of mine - synchronicity, and all that. I know that a few people get a bit iffy with...
Minimalist decision making
My note from The Universe today was thus; True life mastery, Christine, is more a function of knowing what to want, that knowing how to get what you want. Incidentally, my word for 2019 is minimalism. “Let’s imagine this new year as a blank slate. It’s like an empty house: what would we like to put in it?This is a kind of minimalism. We can start afresh, tossing out everything...
One foot in front of the other
Just keep going. Keep moving forward, one foot in front of the other. I think, that perhaps, this is my philosophy to life? Because eventually you will get there, to your dreams, your goals. It is inevitable, as long as you keep moving towards them, no matter how slow. Again, thinking of the YouTube video that I posted about yesterday, where Chris Guillebeau gave a talk to employees at Google...
Maybe you should embark on a quest?
Last night I stumbled upon a gem of a YouTube video. It was linked in a post recommended by one of the few newsletters I receive - I am pedantic about my inbox and only sign up to the best newsletters. Anyway, the YouTube video was a talk by Chris Guillebeau at the Google offices on his book "The Happiness of Pursuit" and how embarking on a quest can add...
How to Have a Really Good Reading Year
In January 2017 I challenged myself to read more books than the year before. The goal was 52 books, a book for each week (it's what the happier, healthier, more successful people are doing, you know). Oh my, how I failed so miserably... I later changed my goal to 30 books and I didn't make that either. This is not a failure post though. I still count 2017 as...
Reading Challenge 2018
I have had so much fun looking at all of the new reading challenges out there for 2018 but I really wanted to create my own reading challenge. 2017 has been there year that I have rekindled my love affair with reading. In the past I became stuck in the literary fiction genre which is made up of books that are deep and slow to read. It made my progress...
Slow Festivity
Every year I swear I won't let the busyness and stress of the festive season get to me and yet every year I get to the end feeling like I have just run a cross country race. As an introvert, the crowds and busyness of the season can be really overwhelming. Also, the financial stress that the season brings seems to increase as the numbers of family members in our...
How I Meal Plan [Mostly] Plant Based and Always on a Budget
I feed five people, mostly plant based, always on a budget, and this is how I meal plan for the month. In the past I have created beautiful spreadsheets linked to recipes and a shopping list but this worked out to be unrealistic and inconvenient. I mean how do you know a month in advance what you will feel like eating / what the weather will be like etc. So...
New Moon – Setting Your Intentions
New Moon Intentions! New Moon is a great time to set your new intentions for the next lunar month. Intentions differ from goals in that they are the HOW to obtain the outcomes (goals) and it is a great exercise to define these on a monthly basis. This ensures that you are always on the right path towards your ultimate dreams. New Moon is a powerful time for manifesting your...
