This last two weeks have been ones that have thrown up all sorts of ‘Hic-ups’ and challenges. From my website going down to my daughter being in and out of hospital with high blood pressure in the run up to her giving birth. There were days when I did not get close to the computer, all sorts of plans, for the tasks I ‘needed’ to do, were pushed to the side and in the back of my head I had moments of ‘Despair’. I gave up my job just two months ago and all of my good intentions for being organised and focused were going out of the window. I felt fear … … and self doubt was starting to creep in. Although my faith in what I am doing is strong and my ideas to move forward in a way that helps to ‘Improve the quality of Peoples lives’ is firmly imprinted in the root of my thoughts.

All of my silent worries were of no consequence, as on 13th May @ 11.47pm my daughter gave birth to a beautiful little girl – Mia Rose. Everything else lost its importance. A new life, a new beginning. In that moment when Mia was born there was nothing else that mattered. My daughter was ok and so was my new grand-daughter.

Perspective came back into my life – I am a great and firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that in life there is no such thing as failure – there are only Results. I am also a great believer of the fact that we are each the author of our own thoughts and if we do not like the ‘scene or chapter’ that we are in – then we have the ability to re-write the script.

Steps to move forward have been happening in the background. Ok some things I had wanted to do – writing regular blogs, keeping facebook updated, learning about twitter, actually writing parts of the book and oh so much more, may not have been done in the manner that I would have liked – yet that does not matter. From each and every thing that has happened in the last few weeks I have learnt something, whether it has been that I need to be more organised or let go of the things that I don’t ‘need’ to do and actually just let part of the process happen.

Some of the things that have been done are, a sample book of Emotional Baggage Diet memory joggers is now well in the process of being created, I managed to get my facebook friend requests down to just 500 (well for a few days anyway – they are back up to about 700 again), I have supported my daughter through her days and nights leading to Mia’s birth and now I am supporting her during the first days and nights of Mia’s life. I am learning to relax and let go when plans go ‘out of the window’.

Going back to facebook ~ wow what an amazing tool for building networks of amazing people. There are some remarkable ‘friends’ out there that each of us now has the ability to meet by this amazing interactive medium. There is this hidden protocol of what is ok to do and what is not – there is also the ability to be a real person rather than a ‘manipulator’. I really enjoy watching the way that different people use communication styles to build their lists and contacts. I also know that I am going about the process of producing my book in a slightly different way than most authors.

I want to break the rules – to follow my intuition, to create not only a book, and other products, that help anyone and everyone to let go of their Emotional Baggage from the past and step into a lighter future, I also have a picture of many people being helped to move forward with their businesses. You see there are many people out there who are starting businesses and careers, who have skills that will help others. I believe that if people use a skills swap system and then share their gratitude for the support they have been given it will become the best possible type of publicity – praise and gratitude get the attention of others who may be looking for the skills in offer. I also believe that support is a two may thing. If I would like others to support me then I must be prepared to do the same in return.

Oh this blog has been a bit of a waffle – and it is time for me to go as in a short while I am going to be listening in and participating in a group call with new friends that I made when on a training course (Brendon Burchard’s – Partnership Seminar) in San Francisco a few weeks back.

New beginnings can happen in any second of any day – they don’t have to be brought about by the birth of a child – they can be brought about by the birth of a thought or an idea and what matters is the attention that you give them.

So for today – Inn Love and Light ~ Gratitude and Faith

 

Have a great day

Jaki :)
