Life under Scrutiny; the effects of daily blogging and the Skill of Asking for what you

July 12, 2010

*Disclaimer* There’s lots more I want to add to this, but it’s late and I can’t miss a day of the challenge! So I’ll add more tomorrow – promise! Don’t miss a single Goddess-worthy word! We’re so much more Powerful when we’re all connected ~ and your details will never, ever be shared or sold. [...]

Dont’ Give up … ever.

July 11, 2010

Well, here we are … Day 28 of this 30 Day Challenge and I have to say, I’m amazed. (bet you’re wondering about Sir Winston over here – all will be revealed, dahlings.) It’s gone by relatively quickly. I’ve gotten into a habit, I suppose, and they say that you need to do something for [...]

Raccoon eyes, Gratitude and goddess-ness Revisited.

July 9, 2010

Yesterday, I posted a video questioning the whole goddess thing. I put it on Facebook ~ and quickly logged off and went to bed, afraid of displaying such vulnerability and dreading the possible firing squad. This afternoon, back from interminable hours at Starbucks wondering about the reaction (WHY do I not have internet on my [...]

To Be a Goddess … or not.

July 8, 2010

At the end of a long, soul-less day at work, it’s so easy to start questioning whether you’re on the right track. Whether the goddess-ness I see in myself isn’t a tad too overboard, too wildly eccentric to be easily accepted. Whether the thing that gives me courage and urges me upward toward my dreams, [...]

Questions on the Fourth of July

July 4, 2010

It is appropriate that today’s post should center around a quote from one of our Presidents ~ “You are not here to merely make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to Enrich [...]

No more Self-Improvement ~ I’m DONE!

July 3, 2010

No more Self-Improvement ~ I am so Done! Everything I’ve read recently has been about improving something ~ whether it’s my blogging; my confidence; my weight; my communication skills; blah; blah; blah. ‘Scuse my language but What the F#&%&$& ???? (What a wuss! Can’t even swear on my own blog ~ and I’m only TYPING!) [...]

My Permission Slip

July 2, 2010

I just adore how, whenever I need something ~ inspiration, education, encouragement ~ it always seems to arrive in my inbox. Aaah ~ Hotmail, you cornucopia you. Today’s gift was from one of the best blogs out there, Illuminated Mind. The whole post is sublime but down at the bottom is the jewel ~ “If [...]

The Road to Fabulous Part 1

July 1, 2010

Six months ago, I was lost. I had quit network marketing; I faced up to all the things I wasn’t doing and, to paraphrase Star Trek, boldly went where no goddess had been before. Ok, maybe not so boldly but you get the idea. It was not pretty! But this goddess is not one to [...]

I can’t think of anything to write sigh

June 30, 2010

I have the bare bones of three posts waiting to be filled out with literary awesomeness ~ but for some reason, the Muse has deserted me. Nothing works. Nothing sings. The words are sticky; jerky; unhelpful. So after trying silence; tea; chocolate; walking round the block; staring at my screen till the timer went off, [...]
