What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love

We seem to prefer our pain over risking something new; at least we know how to suffer, and we are oddly afraid that we won't know how to function if we are happy. But we don't really want suffering; how could we? How could anyone? Our will, in truth, is happiness . ACIM This is what I have learnt, unless you really want to move, you won't! Unless you want it more than your are afraid of it, you remain there! Unless there are people who are not accepting your excuses and enabling you, its ok to stay where you are and complain or just stay and keep quiet?! Unless you start taking responsibility for your actions, for your happiness, for your life, well I have learnt that forget it, you're stuck! Make a move!!! However small, one step, one shift, move move move!!!! Just do it! Just do do do!!! As master teacher Iyanla says " Only you have a say in what gets to happen in your life!" Peace!!

Living well is not about needing or having or getting. Living well is about being genuinely thankful for your situation in every moment, and choosing to make it even better. Ralph Marston   Been working in Tobago! The work was more like play!! I went there not knowing where the training session would be, all I knew was that I had to train this group and the topic! So imagine my pleasant surprise to be training on a beach, with blue water, white sand and coconut bake for breakfast (my favourite slice of joy!) I immediately looked up to the heavens and gave thanks! So this was the reason for the journey, just for one day like this? All worth it, I must say it was one of the best days I have had in a while, and these days , many of my days are so awesome! Give thanks!  

Saw this post and wanted to share it! Enjoy!! http://www.lifebuzz.com/just-stop/ Peace!!

The winners in life are people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work, make it better -Barbra Pletcher My Moscow journey has come to an end! Grateful for the opportunity to see a new place and learn from the experiences of people in another country! What did I learn? Moscow is a pretty city, especially at night with the lights on the bridge by the river, the buildings are grand and historic The women entrepreneurs in Moscow insist on putting family first before anything Cold weather isn't my favourite - it physically pains me!! The city is spending time and money on their young entrepreneurs and innovation programs, its nice to see Don't believe everything you see on the TV!! Back to the sunshine to defrost! Looking forward to being barefoot on my verandah!! Peace!!

When we fulfil our function,which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in. Gabrielle Berstein I've been hearing that happiness is a choice and I never really thought about it much until recently, I've been seeing about a day of happiness and seeing on the social media all the hoopla! So I asked myself, what makes you happy? Can you answer that at this moment? Are you waiting on something to be happy? And what I know is that I am happy! I am happy to be alive, to be able to wake up everyday and see a new day to read a new book' to laugh, to chat with my friends, to travel, to watch arsenal play football and I don't have to wait on anything or anyone to be happy I can just choose to be happy use like that wherever I am whomever I am with and if what I am doing is not making me feel happy I can just Ike that make another choice. There is no one to hold responsible for my happiness and that is just really very awesome! So who ar...

"See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness." - Eckhart Tolle , German born best-selling author. ok confession time on the journey! Cold weather is not my favourite! The starting temperature here is minus5 degrees Celsius! Its been snowing all week! Cold makes me move fast, I have been rushing through everything! Walking, learning, eating, you name it I am doing it fast so I can either get inside or finish and leave Moscow! I saw a few homeless people and I was like OMG! how do they survive? Brutally honest I am rushing through so I can finish and leave tomorrow! Cold weather and me? we need to get reacquainted but ...

Decide to rise to explore your place in the universe.  Danielle La Porte Ok well I wish that I can say Moscow got warmer but nope, it got colder!! And how amazing is this? I wanted to go home and sleep during lunch, somehow I start feeling tired around lunch, still adjusting to the time difference. I come out the building and police like peas! Well golly what is really going on here? I don’t know, they don’t speak much English, all I know is that they want to search my bag and frisk me and I can’t pass in front the Kremlin to go home and sleep! I walk further and then people like peas! I ask what’s going on. ( to a few people) would you believe there was a rally celebrating Crimea being included as part of Russia and the president was giving a speech? Well blow me down with a feather I start to walk faster! I am in the middle of Red Square on a historic day! And honestly all I want to do is get warm, get inside and watch it from a far!! The police are super professional...
