Friends worth more than their weight in gold
Originally posted on Blogger 23 August 2011. I have a wonderful friend. She is the type of friend that when you tell her something, she’s there cheering you on. I’ve seen what happens sometimes when she says something that most people consider to be outlandish and they say so: ‘Oh, is that wise?’ Maybe this is why when I said to her that I’d found something I wanted to study but the teacher was in the US so I’d have to go there to study, she didn’t ask if I had the money or did the teacher have the qualifications or was I being realistic. No. She said, ‘Fantastic!’…

More from: Your Heart’s Desire
Originally posted on Blogger 22 August 2011 The good news is that you don’t need anyone’s approval to succeed. What you do need is to protect yourself from demoralizing, dream-damaging, disapproving saboteurs. Sonia Choquette – Your Heart’s Desire Page 86 My thoughts: I found it interesting that in Focusing Ann doesn’t follow the usual theory of our internal saboteurs, instead welcoming them because they are the part that gets to direct our actions, something that really needs time spent with it. To push our own saboteurs aside is to encourage the behaviour to continue. I found this aspect of Focusing thoroughly enlightening. This post was more about our own success, playing…

From: Your Heart’s Desire
“I have noticed in some of my clients a tendency to intentionally imagine the worse case scenario instead of their Heart’s Desire. This seems to be a convoluted way of protecting themselves from experiencing the pain of disappointment. Oddly, it is as through they believe fearing the worse at the onset will prevent letdowns later on. Little do they know that this actually doubles their pain – first by anticipating disappointment, then by attracting it.” Sonia Choquette – Your Heart’s Desire Page 60 Originally posted on Blogger 20 August 2011

Saturday mornings
Originally posted on Blogger 18 August 2011. I’d like to introduce you to my Saturday morning routine of the last almost two years. At 9am I ring a dear, dear friend and we chat for a couple of hours then I get on with the rest of my day. Doesn’t sound like much does it? But it is the most important event of my week. If I don’t make this appointment my week no longer feels right. A couple of months ago I commented to this friend that I’d rather cut off my own arm than miss these calls – yes it was melodramatic but oh so true. No,…

While I’m on the flower theme
Originally posted on Blogger 16 August 2011. Being an aromatherapist has its advantages – actually it has lots of advantages. One is realising that the best type of geranium to have in the garden is Pelagonium graveolens (Rose Geranium). They smell beautiful and have a delicate purple flower Mine will probably flower in a few months. What is flowering now and I love, love, love is Jasmine (Jasminum officinalis). It seems to be easier getting a macro photo of the geranium rather than jasmine. I love getting colours, textures and the like in photos. I’m a bit nutty like that!

Dare to dream
Originally posted on Blogger 15 August 2011 It was about 11 years ago that I sat down and started my first real goal setting exercise. I had done some sort of goal setting before, but this was the first of the genuine heart and soul into it kind of goal setting. 4 years on and quite a number of the things on that list had happened, even some of the big items. It would be another year before I would redo the exercise, this time my goals seemed to be so far out of my world that if I was doing the exercise in a class, the instructor would…

I can’t believe this is winter!
Originally posted on Blogger 14 August 2011 It’s winter in Adelaide and today we have a lovely 20 degrees C. I managed to get out and do some gardening, until I ran out of energy (it seems I can only manage about 30 minutes before something says, ‘screw this, lets have lunch!’) One of the reasons I did some gardening (aside from the knee high weeds) is that the camellias are flowering and I pulled the curtain back from the window behind my computer to have that colour come into the lounge. I realised that if I stand to one side I can see the tall, tall weeds as well.…
