Just happy to be.

I heard someone say the other day “if you can remember your own name and get yourself to the toilet it’s a gooooood day”. Gosh we have so much to be grateful for that we take for granted every day. Found this beautiful little movie from the makers of The Secret (which I hope you’ve all seen). It reminds us to live for today and to see the beauty in life and in ourselves….

A day in the life of…. me!

I’ve been sitting here contemplating what I could possibly have to blog about and feeling quite guilty at how little I’ve achieved of late when it occured to me that maybe I need to give myself a little more credit. I think often we try to fit so much more into life than just being a wife, mother and home maker that it’s easy to overlook our achievements when at the end of the day thats all we’ve got done. Take my last 36hours for instance….

100 Thanks to Mary at Goodlife Zen

Here’s another one of those amazing finds that makes me wish I had ten thousand followers so I could tell them all about it….

Not sure I can call Mary Jaksch from Goodlife ZEN an everyday woman. Yes, all mum’s are extraordinary of course but we’re not all an authorized Zen Master and phychotherapist, author, professional flautist, MA in Religious studies, 4th Dan Blackbelt in Karate and dance the tango in our spare time.

Planning with Kids Parenting Podcasts….

Podcasts are another one of those technological internet things that I’ve hoped to one day have the time to research and benefit from (hopefully sometime prior to the next 3 or 4 technological internet things enter my vocabulary).

Get What Matters Now for free

Seth Godin is a marketing guru and author who’s words and opinions I totally respect and admire. He has recently released a FREE ebook called What Matter Now which is a compilation of answers to that very question by 70 big thinking fellow internet gurus.

Dani’s Positively Present New Year

 
I’m not big on New Years Resolutions as such but it’s certainly the topic to blog about at the moment and having read umpteen dozen posts over the past week I’d just like to pass on the one I enjoyed most.
Dani from Positively Present is another inspiring everyday woman who’s blog I frequent often. She has an [...]

How To Accessorise Your Day In A Positive Way.

Read this article on one of my fave blogs Life, Laughs & Lemmings who’s creator Sami (one of the most inspiring, enthusiastic and warm hearted blogger’s I’ve come across) is off lapping up the sun and sand in Hawaii though typically she still manages to keep us truly inspired with super guest articles like this one. Great (not) work Sami!

45 + 5 Life Lessons

I just love this list. I can truly relate to so many of them. Makes me feel, well almost normal somehow and inspires me on so many levels. Regina Brett is a remarkable coumnist, speaker and everyday woman. Amazingly insightful and inspirational, Regina wrote 45 Life Lessons when she turned 45 in 2001 and added 5 more when she turned 50. Try to find time to sit and think about each one as you read….
