Thank you for the wonderful response on my last couple of surveys for my new book design.
I had to take the title and cover back to the drawing board after your feedback.
This title is the one in the lead by just a little.
Have you ever had those mornings where you wake up and things seem a little bit funny? You are not sure what it is, you cannot put your finger on it.
You know what you need to do, you’re kind of okay with what is going on but something is not right. It’s a little bit of a nagging sensation that you have in the background?

I was recently turned on to a TV series I had not yet seen. What do you think happened next? Yep, I went into binge watching mode. There is just something about getting caught up to the current episode and getting caught up by the series itself.
Something happened over those days, when I filled the spare moments and down time with watching. It seemed to take over more that just my spare time. Oh, I was having a great time in the play arena, and isn’t that an important part of self-care and work/life balance?
I answered the phone and my friend was on the other end, falling apart, in despair over serious communication issues with someone she is close to. In the end she had two basic choices, first start a line of open communication or second, part ways. I’m a little sad that she chose the latter.

Have you ever tried looking into your own eyes in the mirror and giving yourself a sincere compliment? How about trying this, look at yourself in the mirror and sincerely say, “I love you!”
This exercise makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Maybe it’s because of social norms, religious upbringing, or simply from something you believe about yourself that was passed on to you from your parents or caregivers, but that’s a talk for another time.
Right now I want you to be you, and be happy being you.

What ideas or dreams have you been sitting on? What will make them come true? You just have to take the leap and jump in both feet. I did just that this week with my blogging and I began making videos.

I was shocked when I read this line in a post yesterday, “Your brain isn’t just resistant to change; it’s lazy.” I thought about it a bit more and I realised, in a way, it is true.
You have an autopilot control in your brain that is well able to take you as safely as possible through life. It does this in response to the world around you and more important in alignment with the mental image you have developed of yourself and your life over your lifetime.
Last week someone I’m close to pulled back from our relationship. At first I tried to communicate but she responded with the comment, “I’m just having an off day, don’t take it personal.”
