Unmanageability

As I grabbed my gear and walked out of the office at lunch today, I said to a work mate, “If anyone needs me I’m on my lunch break, I’m going to a yoga class before I kill someone.”

It’s been that kind of a week. Actually, make that couple of weeks.

I thought I was doing ok and on certain times of day I am. Then it goes pearshaped. The term ‘unmanageable’ is springing to mind.
I thought I’d lost $600.
I thought I’d lost my blackberry.
I have lost cd’s I was meaning to give to a friend.
I have lost some important insurance papers & certificates.
I have also just found my appetite again after a few weeks of insane macca’s only cravings. I just couldn’t decide what to eat over the past couple of weeks so instead I just ate nothing. Or I’d go shopping, purchase food to whip up 3 different meals because I couldn’t decide which I felt like, and then get home, still not be able to decide which one to go with, so then I just wouldn’t have anything.

It’s like this constant fight going on in my head and it’s bloody tiring! But it will pass.
Hope things are much lighter in YR corner of the world : )

I wish I had a doggie

Today I was in Stacks of Wax, and was wondering around when I saw this cute little dog resting with his tennis ball in middle of the front window. I started talking to him.. and when he didn't growl or look angrily at me, I gave him a little pat. I love dogs.

Then I continued to walk around and lo and behold, the pup followed me round to the other side of the display and walked around and round my legs, looking up at me.. clearing asking for another pat : )

So as soon as I bent down, he lay down, turned on his belly and was ever so grateful for the belly rub. So so gorgeous.

Wouldn't it be so lovely to be a puppy and get all these cuddles and love from strangers, and give so much back?

29 Gifts Challenge

I recently discovered the most beautiful movement - a worldwide giving movement called 29 Gifts. What's it about? Well, as the title suggests, it's positive community helping to create a revival of the giving spirit in the world. I'm giving a gift to someone each day for the next 29 days. Simple!

There are already more than 2,000 people taking part from 37 countries and the goal is to grow the movement to 20,000 givers as soon as possible. Think you'd be keen to join in? Just sign up at 29 Gifts and commit to give away 29 gifts in 29 days. You can start your personal challenge any time, and your 29 Gifts can be anything... money, food, old clothes, smiles, your time, kind words or positive thoughts.
WHY SHOULD YOU DO THIS? To inspire more generosity on our planet. Because to see our world change, we have to do something to change our world. Plus, the best way to attract abundance into your own life is to be in a perpetual state of giving and gratitude.
