“I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It’s all a question of how I view my life.” ~ Paulo Coelho
I’ve been quite overwhelmed with the flood of messages and emails since yesterday’s post on Remembering to take care of YOU! Seems that many of you are feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, under-appreciated, stuck in a life where you’re just going through the motions or too busy looking after everyone else to even start on the things that are dear to your hearts.
Well my lovelies, that just isn’t good enough! You are here to shine your light in the world! You have talents and desires that deserve airplay in your lives!
Perhaps you may remember me talking about the energies of 2013 –
‘2013 is a foundation year of growth and positive change, where we are reflecting these energies out from ourselves as we inhabit a place of stronger authenticity, awareness and connection. This year, as we sit in our personal power, we will feel a desire to contribute, to explore, to dream up new ways of being, and to action those dreams in the world. It is a time for visionaries, leaders and the building of lasting change.’
Because I want you to make the most of this fantastic energy for change I’ve decided to create a simple weekly course, delivered right here each Monday over the following 6 weeks, to help you get clear about what’s important to you and how to make your life more meaningful and satisfying.
The foundation of this course is going to be:
- Journalling
- Gratitude
- Meditation, and
- Visualisation
and I’ll be holding your hand every step of the way.
So to get ready for next Monday I need you to do a few things;
- Find or buy yourself a journal. Choose one without lines because we need to be able to write, draw and glue stuff. Let it be big enough that you can actually fit some stuff on the pages. It doesn’t need to be expensive – even a kid’s cheap scrapbook or scribble book would do.
- Get some art materials together. Nothing fancy – just some scissors, glue, coloured crayons or felt pens, and some old magazines you can cut up. You’ll also need some pens or pencils for writing with.
- Find a scarf, shawl or wrap in a favourite colour that empowers you.
- Choose a deck of positive cards (such as Angel Cards etc) or runes and a rune book.
- Select a crystal of your choice.
It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be enlightening. And it’s going to propel you into action. Hooray for that! Bless ♥ xx
And here’s the full program, all in one place for you. I’ll add the links each week as the new activities get posted:
….and another! *makes a hand heart* xx
I have my bits and i am ready. I decided to decorate my journal..i am a bit excited and couldnt wait
Good for you, Tonilee!!! PS I’m excited too… 😀 xx
Oh, I am very excited about this.
oh what fun! i was just going to recycle some magazines and put them into my car tonight, now i will have to take them out again! i am excited to do a 6 week journal project with everyone, whoohoo! love, pamela
Hooray for having lots of magazines at the ready. SO happy you’re joining us for this. Bless xx
Where do I find Angels cards and a rune book? 🙂
Hi Erika, just look for any sort of positive card packs (not tarot, although you can use a tarot pack if the card messages are uplifting and supporting – eg Osho Zen Tarot) Hay House publishes lots of these sorts of cards. You can get them online, or from bookstores and New Age shops. Make sure to get a pack that has pictures and messages that resonate with you.

I’ll join you on the next round. I just started Sonia Choquette’s online course Create Your Heart’s Desire so I’m focused on that journey at the moment. But yours sounds like fun. You have such brilliant ideas.
That sounds great too. I love Sonia Choquette’s work. Enjoy! xx
Yeah, Sonia’s great and even though her lessons seem simple on the surface, those lessons are really working me and pushing my buttons in a good way.
This is just what the Doctor ordered, metaphorically speaking !
I was just saying that I am not doing enough meditation, and like painting (which I do) is about ‘brush mileage’ that I can’t expect changes if I don’t do the ‘mileage’ in meditation and spiritual work.
Serendipitous -}
xx
😀 Serendipity indeed!!! {{{HUGS}}} xx
Can never do enough to keep your dreams and focus on track. I am in. Mx
Totally agree, Marilyn! Much love to you xoxo
Thanks Nicole. I’ve been working slowly towards turning my life around since the beginning of the year but in the last week or so I have become stuck and a bit lost. Yesterday I decided that it’s time to really take the bull by the horns and move forward and here you are giving me some tools to do it with. Love and gratitude xxx
This should be just the ticket then, Suzy my dear! How nicely manifested…
I’m in Nicole! Can’t wait to get started! –Lucinda
Hooray! 😀 xx
Oh I am so in… I can’t wait to go and buy my journal and the art stuff and I can feel this is going to be exciting and it hasn’t even started. Thank you Nicole.
I’m excited too. Am off to buy a big scrapbook this morning, and shall post pics this week on the facebook fan page (links on the home page here on my blog!). See you bright and early next Monday! {{{HUGS}}}
Oh goody I can’t wait! I feel like I’m going back to preschool/grade 1….the little girl inside of me is excited :))))))
