Daily Reflection Monday 27th March

So its spring time.  Or SUMMER time. At least according the the British Summer Time clock.  The clocks sprang forward. It will be lighter.

I am not happy.  I want to be happy but in all honesty I am not.  I  don't know if this public space is where I can be unhappy.  But anyway, lets say that today I do not feel energised, positive and all those things that doing a Miracle Morning is supposed to make me feel.  I didn't even do it yesterday.

But everything is not all bad either.  On Saturday I went to an amazingly positive and hopeful event organised by RoundTableGlobal.  (which is not the Round Table masonic thing - at least I don't think it is!! ha ha!)

It is so brilliantly huge in its vision.  Like it has 3 global goals of Empowerment, Environment and Education.

It had inspiring speakers who believe anything is possible and that we must do something and we must adapt in order to change the course of history.  To save the world.  Essentially.

That we are not alone.  To gather together and put our minds bodies and souls together to come up with solutions.

I was very inspired by the woman who is running it, Tiffany Kelly - for her absolute positivity and possibilitarian vision.  I love that she works with empowering women.  I want to work and deliver her SHINE programe (what a great name, jealous!!that's one of my words!)

I was inspired by a property developer  -yes!! I forget her full name, but I can find it, Michelle (xxx) who urged us to think about sustainability in ALL the ways it needs to be thought about - as in creative, inventive and technological solutions  - as well as the whole organic route more traditional to the green movement, which is of course important and awesome, but also as if we could go backwards in time slightly.

I was very inspired by Brita (I need to find her full name and the name of her organisation - which is about educating and empowering women) who talked about how educating and empowering women was changing the world, and that to give confidence to one person was valid and worthwhile.

I was inspired that this organisation is going for it. No holds barred, out in the wide global world, talking about belief that anything is possible.  Of being solution focused.  Of the power of imagination. It was HOPEFUL.  (why this has been followed in my feeling sad I do not know!! - what is that - this is all amazing!)

So there is a festival being organised, and I am going to be part of it all, and that is all brilliant.  There was even incredible music and we DANCED lots which was awesome.  I will find links and populate this blog with it all.  Because it was really amazing.

I am glad i have made myself write all that, because it was briliant and hopeful and it is something I can be part of.  And I have reconnected with my good friend C who invited me there.  And I am really glad about that too.

I met up with my friend M yesterday.  Her son and Bub get on really really well, and that was a joy, to see them playing so well.  And I haven't seen M for a long time either and it was great to catch up and talk big stuff.  So that was good too.  AH.  So this is why I have to write what went well!!

The weather was amazing all weekend.  Yesterday it was so warm at the beach that I had to take my shoes and socks off.

Hub and Bub came to the event in Greenwich, but it wasn't as child friendly as it made out.  Children were utterly welcome, but Bub had no friends there, and so listening to the speakers was a bit much for him to concentrate on ALL day.  He did hear some really cool stuff though, and he loved the lass who sang the song about Beating the Bullies (link in here!!)  So it was ace to just immerse him in that environment, where the big questions were being asked and talked about.  Hub took him on the cable car ride across the Thames.  Unbelieveable that Hub did that - very brave considering his fear of heights!

Other good news is that the work at the house in Croatia is coming along super well.  Brilliant.

This is a great exercise.  I still have the issue I had at the beginning, but its so much smaller now.  Its a small thing.  Not overwhelmingly everything.  There is so much good stuff going on!! YAY

Could do better

-  not a space to think about the small issue.  But it goes to show that focusing on the positive IS a good exercise, so more of that for me!

I must remember to charge my fit bit.  I lost the challenge this weekend.  When I could have won it am sure!! ha ha

I didn't do MM yesterday.  Perhaps that is why I was sad????? But I am not going to give myself a hard time about it.  I shall keep reading good books and focusing on the solutions and the good things that exist.

Long term meaningful goals
I was reminded yesterday by M that what really matters  - is love, and parenting, and making a positive difference in the world.  And those things.  Friendships.  Those sorts of things.  And for me there are two things I would like to do.  Firstly I want to build something that is a business that can super support me and my family.  Secondly  - to make a positive difference in the world.  Maybe the two things could be one and the same thing.  I would like this to be bringing it back into the real world.  Can what I do make a difference in - or outside of the bubble that I live in?  Something about the future and bringing hope and positivity to everyone.  Not just the likes of me.  Not that I don't want that hope and positivity.  But it needs to go to everyone. So Empowering is a part of that 3 global goals that speaks to me.  Education and Environment are also vital of course.

To do today
I need to get dates sorted. I seem to have some sort of block on that.  As I have written it for a week and its not happened.  Got to work through that and sort all of the next tranche of WILD ART JOURNALING going forward.  (And my BUILDING something that I am doing includes that.  The art is one room. )

SS coaching.  To be really COACHING about it.  ask don't tell!  practicing that!!

Hey you, we need to look at this whole happy thing. Nothing else is worth worrying much about until these ducks are in a row. Is it just a decision which needs making? Sounds funny but i once decided to be happy to try things, and inasrill am
And still do. My first year at college so we are talking 37 years ago. Wow, such a long time xx make that decision xx
