It's been a little crazy here, in Casa Williams!! My English friends were here for a few weeks and my life turned upside down, but in such a great way, I loved it and I was sad to see them go today when I dropped them off at the airport.

There are some friends that you can pick up where you left off after a year or two of seeing them, and you are still great friends and that is how it was with these guys and I can't wait to see them again in September when I head home. 

Staying connected to people is important and today was about connecting. I have missed Charlie recently as he is with my parents and it's been hard not to have him around but Skype bought me and my little man closer last night... which is lovely. 

What we have to do is stay connected, not only to people but to ourselves, sometimes we get lost in our own world we forget who we are and what makes us happy. It could be some thing as simple as getting up on a Sunday morning and going to a local coffee place for breakfast with the paper, but if you have allowed life to creep in and disrupt something you enjoy so much then you are neglecting what makes you happy. 

We have to stay true to who we are, and be present. Be present with yourself know what you want and what makes you happy and stick to it. It's not easy but determination will help you. I have to visualize it and often write out what I want or get pictures on a board so I can see it. Be present. 

But also with those people who are important to you. when someone calls you, don't do two things, stop what you are doing and listen, be present. You can always explain that you haven't got long but for those short minutes you have be focused. 

Zoning out is easy and we can all do it, which is sometimes good, but people don't always want to repeat themselves, especially when they think that you have listened the first time, so stop, take a minute and stay connected. 

It's amazing how many more things you will notice, learn and understand if we do just that!

Happy days!!!

With love

I'm still doing it... clearing out, and I love it. Now I have so much stuff that has to go... so it's a case of boxing it all up and giving it to charity... love this!!! I'm moving the office back home again and it's something I have wanted to do for a while, and now is the time... yay!!!

It feels good to have made this decision. 

Making decisions are hard, and I know for me it is. I am the one who needs confirmation that I am doing the right thing by someone else. I'm not insecure, I suppose I just need backup. I like to see things from every angle and often someone elses point of view is important. 

I had to do it today again. Car shopping... ugh... some people love it but me... I do but not the research. It was never my forte! But I had to do it or I would be without a car at the end of the week... and I did it with the help of Chris bless him, who is staying with me for a few weeks. He's also the one I have to blame for the 1am moving of the piano and also the clearing of the garage... well actually I can't blame it all on him, because as soon as we get talking I want to put the ideas into action, and the problem is, he is the same.... so thats it... we start something and don't stop until we finish and his wife, rolls her eyes and say's right I'm off to bed... she knows what we are like!! haha

But when we make decisions that we know are right, they feel good. Even though there could be a lot of effort that we have to put in to make it happen. And its the effort that we have to make is often the thing that stops us from doing it. We have to realize that the more we put something off the bigger the task it will be in the end. 

So why put things off... you just got to get onto it and make changes. Make the decisions that you need to make and know that when you make the decision it's going to feel right. And then there will be no stopping you. 

So find the courage to know that you can make the decision that is right for you, and also you have to know that when it's right, act upon it and don't delay. It could be the decision that will change your life!

Big hugs everyone!
