CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT
Reflection
What were you doing 12 months ago?How has that impacted on your life now?
Decisions we make and action we take have resonating affects down the track. How often do we sit down and gently reflect on where we have been, what maybe happening in our lives right now could be a direct result of our experiences and choices 6-12 months ago.
I am amazed at how much has transpired in my life over the past 12 months. I think I have experienced every possible emotion from the most wonderful highs to as low as you could possibly go!In saying that, it has meant that right now I am wiser, happier, and more open to new and wonderful experiences.
I have learnt "this too shall pass!"
I understand the miracle of trust, faith and that now, I can choose to experience things easily and joyfully.
I have developed a deep sense of gratitude.
On reflection I have realised that out of pain, hardship and anguish, there is a light that shines bright and through determination and with an intention of never giving up, that light will become brighter.
Six months ago, my world was very dark and difficult but everyday a choice was made, to do another day! That choice I made, even when sometimes I could only do a minute at a time - has lead me to today, where I now tread lighter, have great respect for where I have been and developed greater compassion for myself.
By reflecting on where I have been , facing today's decisions and choices has greater meaning and awareness. Everything I do and think right now will have an impact on my life in another 6-12 months.
AN EXAMPLE
For example, I looked at my legs the other day and realised that they were firm and my muscles tight. This is a direct result of my decision 6 months ago to start jogging, I laugh now as I have not done any jogging for about 25 years, so my choice was to get fit, start slowly and then gradually build up. The result six months later - firm legs, and my ability to jog for 45 mins! Of course this action has had many other benefits, I am fitter, healthier, feel good about myself, I have a sense of achievement and accomplishment, the list goes on!
So what do I want my life to look and feel like in another 6-12 months?
Just asking these questions, opens you up to a tremendous opportunity -
Be conscious , be aware and make a choice or decision that will lead you to where you want to be in another 6-12 months.
Be active in your own life.
Take responsibility for your own life.
You deserve the most wonderful life.
Are you taking steps and making choices so that your life is and will be all that you deserve.
Reflect today , where you were 12 months ago.Start taking notes or writing in a diary where you are now, how you are feeling and what you want to see and experince in your life.
Then everyday make a choice that will be pr ...
LIFE'S PURPOSE

I spent a great deal of today and in fact this weekend contemplating my life’s purpose.
I love my life and who I am but circumstances lately have got me wondering.
I don’t think it is to feed the starving in Africa or find the cure for some dreadful disease. After much asking and waiting for answers I have come up with My Life’s Purpose. Here it is:
To be the best me I can be.
This has been like a mantra for me for a long time but today it hit me, ‘that is why I’m here.’ Why I have gone through so much this lifetime. Had more heartache than I care to think about and yet I’m still here. Still trying.
To Be The Best Me I Can Be.
We are human beings, not human doings, or human receiving’s or even human savings. Just beings.
If I make it my intention each morning: To Be the Best Me I Can Be and live each day with that in my heart, then I believe I will be the best me I can be. I can do nothing more than my best.
Thought I’d share that.

It's 'World Best Friends Week'

IT'S - 'WORLD BEST FRIENDS WEEK'
Think about this for a minute....
If you happened to show up on my door step crying, I would care!
If you called me and asked
me to pick you up because something happened, I would come!
If you had one day left to live your life, I would want to be part of
that last day!
If you needed a shoulder to cry on, I would give you mine!
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?
They blink together,
they move together,
they cry together,
they see things together,
and they sleep together,
but they never see each other;
.....that's what friendship is.

FUN IN PHUKET

Hi everyone, Leanne here.
Thought I would share my overview of a fantastic holiday that I just had with a fabulous friend, Glenda. We spent 10 days in Karon Beach Phuket.
FIRST OFF - THE FLIGHT
STRATEGIC AIRLINES
What a fun flight we had. Strategic is Australia’s new full service budget international airline. Travelling at the moment from Aust to Bali and Phuket Direct. Yes, that’s right, direct Melbourne to Phuket. Budget maybe, but the service was fantastic. Great food, which was surprising for plane food and the service from the crew, was exceptional. Great big thanks to Steve and his crew. The flight was on time and arrived 30 mins early. How good is that?
STRATEGIC FACTS
Two airbuses in their fleet, the Airbus A320-200 and the A 330-200, this means nothing to me suffice to say they are big planes, not jumbos though. Don’t expect flash new planes, but the seats are comfortable and the entertainment runs throughout the flight.
Business class has close to the equivalent of Premium economy on other airlines. It was very comfortable for the daytime flight but still difficult to get comfortable on the return overnight flight. No surprises there for any flights.
We left Melbourne before lunch and arrived in Phuket about 5pm. Time enough to get to our hotel, check in and try our first cocktail while we watched the sunset over the Andaman Sea.
The return flight was Sunday at 8.30 pm, so we had the whole day in Phuket to have our final swim , shop and cocktail watching the sunset over the Andaman sea.
For more details on Strategic and their fantastic flights at great prices please check out their website at www.flystrategic.com.au or chat to your travel agency about the flights.
NOW TO THE ACCOMODATION
We stayed at the Karon Beach resort and spa located right on Karon Beach, South of Patong.
4 stars, wonderful service especially the restaurant staff for breakfast and snacks during the day while lying by the pool. There are 2 pools to choose from, one with the swim up bar, gotta love that.
The rooms had everything we needed and were cleaned each day.
There is no kids club at this resort, which may be an issue for some families. We did stay there last year with my daughters and they didn’t seem to mind. It was great to have 2 pools to choose from and I could watch my girls from my sunbed wherever they were.
The beach is at the bottom of the stairs from the resort pool and there you will find the massage ladies!!! For only $12 Australian, a massage every day has to be in order. I tried every massage on the ‘menu’ including an Aloe Vera massage with I thought might be gooey and a bit weird but it was fabulous, my skin felt so soft afterwar ...
