magic

Being part of something bigger than yourself, perhaps, is the start of being able to create something that is bigger than yourself. 

I love the feeling of belonging and purpose I am getting from being involved with this course.  And with the connections I am making there, and elsewhere too.  I feel that 2012 is definately going to be the year that BIG THINGS HAPPEN.


Which brings me back to another  quote I picked up from somewhere...

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ---Margaret Mead


Am feeling all hyped up and bouyant about the world and its possibilities at the moment.

regarding the 6 am starts...... yes well.  On Friday I had a BIG LIE IN.  I did go out the night before, and in the knowledge of having said BIG LIE IN, I did not hold myself back on the drinking wine front.  I had a truly splendid evening with some local mummy friends.  It was a swish party, as in you bring clothes you no longer wear or want and basically we empty the bags on the floor and everyone digs through and takes what they want.  A lot of trying things on and general hilarity and pretty much everyone goes home hugley delighted with their haul of free clobber.  I got some seriously nice BRAND NEW boots (she didn't like the heel shape on them and never wore them) and a fab work dress (for my presentations....)  and a whole huge bag full of tee shirts and trousers and general clothing stuff.  RESULT.

So today wasn't much better.  I though I would ease myself back in and start at 7am instead, but the wee man Bub got up before that even so it was a no go.  I did go to a Yoga class though, which generally means I work a lot harder than when I do my own practice anyway.  And yesterday, I did the teacher training - in which I was taken up into Upward Bow (back bend) which was a total shock.  As in I had been trying on my own and it was so not happening.  I ended up having a massive giggling fit after it.  Proper guffawing and weeping  stuff.  Oh get me.  I did enjoy it, mind.  They do say that back arches open you up! I am just feeling pretty damn happy inside at the moment!

I even managed to inspire 2 friends into action on their dreams yesterday.  Pretty chuffed about that too! All is good.  

I have engineered a pretty busy week this week coming up and have a lot to be getting along with.  And I really must stop myself from hanging out with the HSHB FB group the entire time.... xxx

Lizzie I made everyone have a good laugh!! I am prone to giggle fits - most often they are inappropriate. i think it is generally the inappropriateness of the giggle that sends me off. once I was at work and had to leave the room, and people thought I was sobbing and crying. I was actually crying... but you know, laughing. and I couldn't explain why as it was totally stupid and not at all funny! oh dear. what am I like?

Seems you are getting alot out of the Hello Soul Business Course and connecting with a new on-line tribe too. Well done on the back bends!...when I first started doing those last year (with assistance) I felt like a very rusty old bike...I still can't go into a backbend by myself. I can understand the giggling tho, I do things like that too, I know when I am having a very deep laugh because it does always turn into tears! So much emotional stuff is held in the spine, it's hardly surprising we react in some strange ways when it is being stretched/challenged in some way.
