Hi Everyone
I hope you are all looking forward to the festive season. For me it is a time of love and family and I will be visiting mine for Christmas J. For those of you fortunate enough to be able to go away on holiday, I hope you drive safely.
To all the new people who joined my mailing list. Thank you so much! I definitely look forward to getting to know you all better. I want to thank each and every one of my readers for your loyal patronage, and I look forward to chatting to you again in the New Year.
This has been a long difficult year for most of us, and this Christmas break is sorely needed. I will not be sending any e-mails out during December. I know you all will be too busy to read it anyway ;-)).
In the spirit of Christmas, I want to give you all something special as a thank you gift. It is a free e-book from Michael Moore on healing with humor. You may download it at the link below. If you have difficulty downloading it, just pop me a mail and I will send the file to you as a zipped attachment.

Just a quick reminder before I greet you for the last time this year. I am starting a Happiness Club in Montana, Pretoria. If all goes according to plan it will be operational in March 2010. I will keep you all up to date as things progress. Keep your eyes on this space, because you will not want to miss it. Remember membership will be absolutely free. The only thing you might loose is your unhappiness. Think of suitable times to hold these meetings and send me your suggestions. I’d appreciate it very much!
To all a very Merry Christmas, stay save and happy!

Are you up for a challenge?
I’ve been playing around with blog posts and sending e-mails to people for a while and although it feels good, I still feel like there is something missing. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy writing and sharing things with people. But it feels like I am not doing enough, like something is missing.
I am speeding towards my forties and I have just not accomplished anything I’ve dreamed of doing. I am sure all of you can relate to what I am trying to say. We all have dreams, and some we accomplish, and some just gets lost, forgotten through time and space.
In my teens I had a dream of becoming a psychologist. But then I met my husband, we fell in love got married, had a child and then we got separated and divorced, and through all the living and loving and fighting my dream just disappeared all together.
When I realized this, it was earth shattering. We live for our partners, our children, financial security, status, power and more but we forget about the one most important person, ourselves and we forget about the Almighty our Creator. That is why we end-up dissatisfied with our lives and our present situations. We wonder why we were placed on this earth. What is the purpose to it all? Life looses its meaning somehow.
We have to do some soul searching again. Remembering our dreams is one way of realizing our purpose. Making sense of our lives again, can be difficult. But think about it. You spend eight hours of your day at work, not even counting the time travelling to and fro. Why on earth do something you dislike?
I’ve done a bit of soul-searching. Just trying to remember who I am and what makes me happy. I remembered what I wanted to become as a teenager and what I enjoy doing. I want to be of service to people and to God. But I do not want to be a preacher. I want to help people, to council them and help them accomplish their dreams. But I also like writing and playing with words on paper. It’s like an escape, to create my own little world where I am totally in control.
I am working on accomplishing my dream. It is a slow and long process. But Rome wasn’t built in a day (smile). What are you doing to accomplish your dreams? Let’s make it a challenge, shall we? I challenge all of you to start setting some goals!
It may feel overwhelming, but goal setting is part of stress and time management. It is quite easy to accomplish if you take your ultimate goal and break it down into bite size chunks. To break a goal down into smaller more manageable goals, and then accomplishing it one step, one small goal at a time, will make the whole process seem more easily accomplishable. Besides, accomplishing the first step (mini-goal) will give you more confidence, to carry on to your second step and third and so on.
Are you up for my challenge? If we do it together it will be much more fun and exhilarating. We can motivate each other. Let’s make it a group effort. What do you say?
Let me know what your dreams are. Send me an e-mail adminstress@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.
