Tea with strangers.....

Yes you heard right! Wanting to make new friends in town I joined meet up. I agreed to meet with "strangers" at a lovely place called www.tea-money.com the weird this is I really had to motivate myself to go. I was invited to a friends place for coffee prior to the tea meet up, boy was I tempted to just stay there. I know when the soul goes against our resistance that is usually when you need to work a little harder and get past it!

I arrived went over to a busy table and said, "is this the meet up table?" ok I was in the right place. I sat down and started reading the menu, I then got up and went to counter to order. I had my nose buried in the menu, when I heard this voice say "what can I get you my love" I looked up and was just about to say...when he said "wait I know, rooibos." I replied "how did you know" he replied, so which part of SA are you from I said Cape Town. He said me too, which part? Then he opened a tin of rooibos rose hip tea and I was sold......we chatted for a while, (as saffers do) well by the time I sat down he had my number. Jayson is his name. I continued chatting
away and got to know the meet up group. As I was leaving he reached over the counter to give me a hug. Anytime you want to pop in I am here except Tuesdays and Thursdays! A bit later I got a text .... We should go for a drink sometime! Now that is what I miss about home!

Unconditional love

I've just watched a documentary on TV about an English man who thought he was really smart.  He got addicted to smuggling hash from Spain into the UK.  It started by him physically wrapping blocks of it to his body and only travelling with hand luggage.  One day his Spain agent approached him and asked him to help him with 500kg which was not very well organised, the long of the short is he got busted by the Spain police and spent three years in prison.  Just before he decided to take on the last job he was out celebrating at a restaurant with his girlfriend, who at the time knew nothing of his dealing but she started to suspect something and asked, he confessed, however he continued.  When he went to prison she gave him unconditional love and they wrote to each other every single day and he refused to let her see him in prison.  Now how does a woman do that?  Well I suppose the reason I ask that question is because I don't think I could give someone that kind of unconditional love.  Maybe the writing and communication helped?

Your ultimate guide to attracting and keeping the perfect partner in 9 easy steps.

"Love is a force of destiny whose power reaches from heaven to hell," ~ Carl Jung

How much time and energy do you spend thinking about relationships?  Are you happy with the status quo right now or do you long for more passion, intimacy and connection with your partner?

And if you are single, how are you feeling about your chances of meeting your perfect match? 

As humans we have an inbuilt desire to relate to another person, which underpins our drive to form relationships.  For some of us this desire is easily expressed, while others find it harder truly to connect with another human being. There is something immensely
courageous in us that lets us risk opening our hearts to another.  A safe passage is never guaranteed in love, and none of us know where the JOURNEY will take us, how long it will last or what we will experience along the way.  What we do know is that we feel more alive, expanded and whole when we feel love - both for ourselves and for our partners.

Love is a fundamental need that we all share.  Without love we cannot feel truly happy and fulfilled.  No matter how successful, accomplished or self-aware we are, true joy comes from sharing who we are with another.  But we can feel deeply ambivalent about this and we aren't always open to revealing ourselves in a relationship.  For many of us, becoming intimate and exposing our true selves can be both a wish and a dread. 

So HOW do we overcome our FEARS and learn to open our hearts and experience a deep and loving connection in our relationships?

What is required of us?  If you are willing to grow, and you are ready to invite more love into your life and enjoy a deeply fulfilling and intimate relationship, then you will enjoy EXPLORING YOUR JOURNEY

Mindful leadership

…the capacity to be in the present moment, aware of what is happening now, and mindfulness practices, particularly meditation, can arguably help move individuals along the development ladder. Mindfulness is based on self-awareness and full presence of the sort that includes not just the mind, but also the emotions, creativity, soulfulness and spirit.

Seeing your own work

Getting the first copy of the healing connections magazine today and seeing my ad was a great feeling.  My next challenge is to choose a place to run my 1st workshop.  But again looking at the places in magazine I was able to do some enquires, and the secret to good business is keeping your costs down. 

So rather a big difference from your typical well known hotel chain at £28 per person which includes lunch to £10 per hour for the room.  Well the better of the two in based in Beds and Herts so that offer will have to be 2nd or 3rd round as I feel the advert directs people to my website which says venue to be advised (Herfordshire) ahah paging through the magazine I suddenly realise I have the wrong place..........wow this means more choice!

Well browsing though the magazine I have found a therapist networking event for £3 on Wednesday evening......then I am thinking I have a very important interview on Thursday, I really need to stay focused!  I recall seeing two events in the Psychologies magazine one being "writing about your childhood" which is on Tuesday evening but that would mean a trip into London and the whole things would be at least £40 which I cannot spare right now......well one day soon I will be able to do these wonderful things and this time I am just saying yes to universe as this has taught me to really appreciate money!

Barter System

I work from home and do most things on my own.  I am a people's person, so I have to have the radio of in the back ground and love it where I have "company" or just knowing someone is there in the background.  Can you relate?


Looking back what I loved about ship life was I had my desk normal in the back office which was usually situated behind the reception where the admin manager, passenger services manager and traffic which gave the office a buzz which I really when I am working from home on my own.


What I thinking about creating is having a kind of double story house where the front "lounge bit" can be the open plan offices and rent space to people just like myself who are looking for support, company and someone to bounce their ideas off.  We can use a barter type of system as I need help with my graphic design and printing and very advanced PA to book venues or events management and I can do the sales side including promoting them and what they do.  Food for thought.

It's about the journey and not the destination

Have you even noticed how some people are rushing around so focused on arriving at their destination?  They somehow think that arriving will be the answer, what they dend to miss out on is the what I think is the best part and that is the journey.  All the little things that happen along the way.  Today I choose to help a friend and collect some brochures and deliver them in time for an urgent mail campaign.  The round trip was 170 miles, along the way I experience 4 seasons of weather and the most beautiful patterns in the sky following the mini storm and admiring the greenness of the trees and nature as I drove up the motor way.

Along the way I had the opportunity of learning some more as I just cannot get enough of Susan Jeffers.  About 3 years ago I got involved with Forever Living Products before I took my two year gap years.  Today I popped in to the product centre as my brother requested me to buy some Aloe drinking get as the doctor has given him the news that he suffers from IBS.  Well three years ago I was trying to get and everyone to use the products as they do work I was amazed and pleased with his requests.  This gave me the opportunity to think of re-visiting the idea of getting actively involved and had a chance to speak to Maureen the centre manager who kindly gave me the details for the ladies of head of events as I enquired about doing on talk on Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway® written by Susan Jeffers P.h.D as I am one her licensed trainer now. 

Arriving at my friends it was so refreshing to be greeted by her loving dog and the birds sound different to where I live.  Just to reflect and thinking that for over a decade my life was on the road doing anything up to 800 miles a week.........how did I do it?  I am so excited with all I have to do to get my workshops booked but am really trying to enjoy my unique journey of taking one step at a time and not focusing on the destination or outcome but to let it go and just be fully present!  So what ever you do - do it with all your heart I find it so much more enjoyable and remember what you put out there into the universe in what will come back to you!

Yesterday was my last day of my coaching course and at the end of course many students asked the tutor where to from here?  Does the college offer anything else?  What else to you teach and where?  The tutor replied. "I would love to do more."  So I asked, "So how can we help you do that?" He went to explain that we need to write into the college and request or enquire.  I then suggested since we had just filled in feedback forms to write our comments on there and promptly got up picked up the forms and handed them back to the students which he seemed very grateful for. 

I then enquired after most of the students had left of how I could get involved with teaching or speaking at the college and he kindly gave me the name of the lady in charge as well as his number so who knows we might work together in the further!  So I will keep you updated of how and where this goes.




Many Thanks

Did Friday the 13th come late?



Thursday morning I was on my way to London to attend the business start up show.  As I opened the car down I noticed what looked like a piece of glass on the driver’s seat, the immediate thought that popped into my head, glass broken window! However what was lying on the seat was a piece of tin foil?  What did that mean? I still thought that is strange and it felt like I had to pay attention!  

After my usual group walk on a Friday morning headed off as I had a 12.15pm dentist check up appointment.  While driving I pushed the button for the automatic window and NOTHING happened.  How do I go to the dentist and leave my massage chair and some groceries I had bought at the farm shop.  I then decided to call the dentist and cancel my appointment.  This upset me as I really wanted to get the appointment out the way as dentists are not my favourite people!  I then turned the car around went home unpacked the whole car and phoned the dentist reception and asked if I could still come though.
Do you think as I do as this is NOT the first time this has happened that I might be slightly psychic?

Anyway on the way back from the dentist I pop into the shops and buy some food.  While at the checkout I say to myself do not put the mobile phone in the bag with the food as that might push the buttons so I leave it in the trolley.  I bet you can imagine what happen next.  I get home to discover my phone is missing, but the funny thing is while driving out the car park I have that “feeling” that I had left the phone in the trolley.  Somehow I manage to convince myself that I would have checked the trolley and carry out without checking if I have the phone.  WHY do I do these silly things?  The good news is the trolley man handed my phone in and I have it safe.  Do I need to take my handbag out with me?  Do I need to more attention?

Business Journey Update

In 2006 I came across a book called Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers which changed my life!  At the time I thought how cool would it be if one could teach this stuff! THOUGHT!  Left it at that.

I remember being in St Maarten earlier this year and thinking to myself this still does not FEEL right this is not what I was put on this earth to do!  I started searching and came across http://www.inspired-entrepreneur.com/ which has helped me a great deal, I started by using the £1 trial and downloading all the audio seminars and listening to them during my morning walks, while I was making dinner or in the bath!  Nick then launched his home-study course I registered as a member for £4.99/month and enrolled on the course for £29/month and can honestly say it has been the best investment I have made.  So I put my own website together and have been updating and improving it as I go along and learning with every spare moment I have about  all things to do Internet Marketing and Podcasting etc.  
One weekend my sister in law invited me to go along to property investment seminar to see Kevin Green and http://www.rohanlive.com/books-and-products/books/turningpoint-book.  
Rohan shared with us that he is a member of a business network http://www.ecademy.com/ I then went home and researched it on their website I came across iMA very interesting universal language http://www.imastrategies.com/ after I had done the questionairre http://www.ima-strategies.com/I wanted to know more and requested some information on the practitioner http://www.imastrategies.com/imapractitioner.html James Knight followed up with me and we set a date to meet up and got to learn more.  I am sharing the questionnaire with friends and family and the results have been great and interesting.  Am working my way towards doing the practitioner course.  

Going back to St Maarten I researched Susan Jeffers to discover what I had a thought about back in 2006 http://www.susanjeffers.com/home/workshops.cfm so without hesitation I enquired and received a application to apply to become a Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway Licensed Trainer.  I recall sitting at St Maarten airport on 17 February 2011 waiting for my flight back to the UK filling the extensive application form it.  Upon arriving in UK I made contact with a few other trainers and felt inspired with their stories and was invited to attend a Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway workshop on the 9th April at that point I knew that is it I need to do this.  I procrastinated for the next two weeks and finally felt ready after my website was up and running and it just felt like the right time, I applied.  

On Friday the 13th I received an email confirming my approval for my license, it brought tears of joy to my eyes.  I read over the license agreement during the course of weekend and completed it and returned it.  Not long after another emailed followed with some more information for me to get started.  I will be honest and say many time during the process I felt the fear but did it anyway.  My intention to run my first workshop on the 16th July so please show your interest http://explore-your-journey.weebly.com/workshops.html

I am about to start on module 3 of "The message you were born to share" of my course.

Business Process - Podcasts

I had a friend say to me yesterday "I need your energy".......WHY? Well I am very eager to learn as much as I can about business.  I am proud to say I have build my own website from scratch but do you really understand all the technical stuff behind the scenes.

I enrolled in a home study course from Nick Williams called the work were born to share.  I am on module two and on a mission to learn all there is to learn about podcasts and blogging and website and found this very simple easy website video for those who would like to learn exactly what a podcast is and how it all works.

Do you think this was a coincidence?

I made plans to go visit an old friend who I have not seen in years.  I had the intention to give her massage during my visit.  During the past week I took my massage chair 

down from the loft.  The thought did cross my mind, I need to start using my skills to earn some extra money.

Last night my friend text me to say she was not feeling well.  This morning she text saying  please do not come through really  not feeling well.  In the meantime my reminder went off on my itouch to remind me there was a health walk in Radlett at 10h30am. I am trying to make new friends locally and keep fit.  

I arrived at http://www.battlersgreenfarm.co.uk/ where the walk started and there were about 20 people.  As you do one of the ladies and I got chatting and walked side by side the whole way.  I explained that I was carrying my freshly squeezed fruit juice in my coffee mup which had spirulina powder and macca powder, I bought these from Sycamore Wholefoods they trade at the market in St Albans, on Saturdays and Wednesday's, in fact Patrick the very helpful gentleman adviced me to get some macca powder.  Now my brother who is the biggest junk food eater came home from work today saying that he felt his energy levels were boosted as he had one glass on my juice. 

I juice carrots, apples, melon, berries and water, then add half a teapspoon of spirulina powder and macca powder.  After the 1 hour walk I came across a shop I had been searching for.  In fact the day before I phoned Sycamore foods asking if they knew of a shop that sold, essences and crystals.  Could not find anything else on Google, what I know now is I was looking in the wrong place.  However I got guided by my guardian angels, I saw this little shop www.destinyrising.co.uk.  Now before I went on my walk I said to myself I am not going to take my purse with as I do not want to spend money I do not plan to.  The long of the short is I saw a few things I HAD to have which meant I had to come back to pay for them.  On my return I thought I would ask if they know of anyone who needs a massage therapist, Dana replied, "Yes I have been looking for a massage, my neck ....." I walked over to her and gave her a little rub and we chatted.  Well we bonded and Dana has booked a massage with me on Tuesday and so has one of her staff, Romana, on Wednesday.  Dana and I agreed that she had been asking and that her prayers were answered.......so were mine!  Will keep you posted on the progress on my healing hands!

11 June ~ Business Plan Journey

I started working on my business plan, I started by looking in Microsoft Office Templates and found a UK Business Plan, it looked a bit overwhelming, I turned back to my emails and found this.

The 6 Essential Secrets
for a Successful Coaching Practice
  this asked me all the right questions which I will share with you in a another post, the questions got me thinking and when I discovered the earning potential that really stuck me.


I then got a call from James Knight as IMA http://www.imastrategies.com/  I had heard of this strategy once before and it really resonated with my soul.  So I am looking forward to working toward becoming a IMA practitioner. I need to raise £2500 for this course.


Another little miracle is I applied for a job as a creative at APPLE:


Creative
Business Group UK Retail
Job description In most stores, the customer relationship ends with a purchase. At the Apple Retail Store, that’s where it all begins. The Apple store is more than a store—it’s a place of community where open communication, learning, leading, and growing
serve to enrich our customers’ lives. Creatives help build this community through their dedication to teaching and training all things Apple—because happy, enthusiastic customers tell their friends.
A candidate we’ll love:
  • You’re warm and friendly, and you love sharing knowledge.
  • You enjoy meeting people and building relationship with customers.
  • You’re an artist who proudly dabbles in the digital realm.
  • Whether in front of a class or working one-on-one, you’re a natural-born teacher who believes in hands-on learning.
  • You know your way around Apple’s pro and consumer tools for creating and editing digital media.
  • You enjoy staying on top of Apple’s latest innovations and have a knack for choosing the perfect solutions for customers.
  • You speak in layman’s terms, but you’re also a good listener with lots of patience.

A position you’ll love:
  • Providing personal, one-on-one training and adjusting your teaching style and pace to meet the needs of the individual.
  • Conducting presentations and workshops using Apple-approved training techniques and materials.
  • Being one of the go-to people for creative tools knowledge in the store.
  • Patiently showing customers such basic computing skills as double-clicking, using the Internet, organizing photos, and creating simple websites.
  • Teaching our customers how to make a movie, record a song, draw digitally or edit photos. Or perhaps teach a new user how to use a mouse for the first time.

The ideal opportunity for digital artists:

A job at an Apple Retail Store is a chance to use your hands and heart. To use your knowledge and experience. To contribute meaningfully to people’s lives with your artistry.

To delight. Enrich. Impress. Engage. Inspire.

Are you ready to join the retail revolution?

 at Apple on the 19th March and thought nothing of it.  I got an email yesterday saying;


"Hi Karen ,

My name is Alannah and I'm an Apple Recruiter. I recently reviewed your CV and Profile and am delighted to tell you that you are being considered for a role at our Apple store in Milton Keynes.

We will be in touch later this week to provide you with details of our recruitment events.

Stay Tuned!

Alannah"
To top it off as you previously read about I did a gig for Spa Charter Services, who contacted me saying:


"Hi Karen.
Cool.
My base in the summer is Surrey, if I'm ever there.
I'm booked already for 6, possibly 8 weeks so I'm sure that I will need help because the dates are for the busiest times of the season, and I'm booked.

You don't need to be in the Med, London is fine and will get people to fly you in an out when we can.

Karen, can you please send me a short bio, 2 paragraphs or so and 2 photos. The bio should talk about you as a therapist and mention briefly your work on yachts, I'm not so much interested in that as I am in you as a therapist. This will go to clients so should include all of your qualifications, years of experiience and specialities as a therapist. For the photos, one should be a headshot and another less "static" more of a natural photo that has a little bit of movement. Remember it's not for yachting, but for massage. If you do facials, body treatments or anything else, (nails, etc.) please be sure to put that in. They can hire literally anyone in the world so we need to tell them why it should be "us". 

I expect that by mid-May I will be having several more inquiries and I really need therapists that are already in Europe.

Get me the info asap and I'll work on it..."



   

Training found me

In my journey and search of HOW to start your own business and become a specialist in the field I found many things helpful but what I did not find was unless you paid for it there was no one out there that was willing to share their full journey of HOW they actually did it, so I am recording all the little things that are happening along the way to make this possilbe.

On the 10th April 2011 I got an email from NLP Excellence Training saying:


                       
Further to your recent scholarship application to attend the 2 day NLP Diploma Course.  I am pleased to inform you that your application has been successful.
           
You requested a place on our course in LONDON, the next available course is to be run on 15/16th June 2011.  If you would like to accept your place on this please confirm AS SOON AS POSSIBLE by E-mail to scholarship@free-nlp.co.uk.

If you are unable to attend this course, but would like details of the next available Diploma in LONDON, please also let us know as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, our scholarship places have been abused by people who have already trained, or are planning to train with other organisations, therefore, by accepting your place, you are agreeing that you have not had any previous training or are booked onto other courses unless prior knowledge has been forwarded to NLP excellence.

Once your place has been confirmed, we will send you a letter by E-mail, and a week before the course, all joining instructions will be sent out.

Growth and Lessons

It has been a while .........I have noticed a shift, change or growth within myself. How you might ask? Going to library was a rather different experience, I was guided straight to the "dummies" IT section. 1 is I teach IT so am interested in the subject and The Google Story which I read on my last contract was inspiring. Now Google Chrome and all the advances of the information age is amazing and to find no people but machine scanners as you left the library!

This might seem like an outrageous goal but I will retire at age 40 that is only 8 years away - how & why?

I go way back....................when it all started!

Well firstly I experienced debt from the age of 18 when I bought my first car, which I could not afford but somehow used my persuasive skills to get my Mom to agree as I was not 21 yet to buy the car in her name and I pay for it over the next 36 months, well to discover something called insurance which was not mentioned till I was about to sign my life away in my mind I was earning something like R1400 per month in Cape Town and the car re-payments were R600 THEN INSURANCE.......another R300 then the rent of R400 which left me with just enough to put petrol in for 1 week as this was a 2L Boss super fuel eating machine. The GSI got me 3 weeks later doing 130km/h in a 60km/h zone at 7h50am.......a fine arrived FAO ......yes you guessed MOM.........

OMG no admission of guilt I had to go to court! Thank the lord the angels were watching over me........the judge asked me "is this your first offence? I replied: "yes your honour, I have R200 here and am planning to pay the rest off" He looked me up and down and said where were you going in such a hurry at 7h50am? I replied "it is my Mom's car and I was not used to accelerator petal and you honestly cannot feel how fast you are going" Ok then pay the R200 and I never want to see your face here again............was I out of there like a flash.

I was still faced with this financial challenge of things never quiet balancing but am very fortune that I have a very understanding supportive Mother. I then used to constantly "borrow" money for petrol, going out and it just never ended - I paid back what I could afford.

Then I now realised I had to move from




Dream & coincidences!



I got this am amazing book out the library on cosmic ordering and it literally blew my mind but somehow I believe I was attracted to that book to heighten my awareness of the "coincidences" in my life! OK before I got on the ship to start my travels I wanted to go to Australia, Queensland in fact I was considering going to study a commercial cookery course on the gold coast. I have a big blue book with silver sequence and started it when I walked out on my ex husband as my goal & dreams book. One on the pictures I have in there is of a lady taking pictures! Ok I will admit I have always adored the camera from a young age and friends leave their cameras at home as they know I will always have mine. I have taken 10GB of pictures in 4 months. So now I am awaiting my dream camera, who I believe again I attracted, I also believe in the law of least effort! Well doing an excursion "best of Corfu" Daniel our F & B ass. manager was coming along to do a hygiene inspection on the restaurant we were going to eat at however along the way he "sold" his camera to me I then started doing some research and will have the HX1 model the one above that! So in other words I attracted that all the "work" would be done for me. Then my dear friend Eddette is an inspiration to me as she to has a passion for this subject and has had the time to do her website and start her business so she has given me great inspiration! I have the crazy idea that I would like to offer wedding couples a "package" and do a massage for the bride & groom & as well as take their pictures! So after all this might not be such a crazy idea. I just knew I would meet someone on the ship that would inspire me which I did on my last cruise, so now I have been supported by the universe to start writing my talks which I will deliver throughout Africa at all the game lodges, thinking about it how many get married there? I to have a passion for wildlife photography, well I am told you should specialise in one kind but with me - well anything is possible!

Anyway getting back to goals etc, as I reach over the desk to grab a pen to start writing in my goal book IT IS THE EXACTLY THE SAME GREEN PEN! The writing at the top of the page is written on 7/3/9 and writing at the bottom on the 14/10/09! (photo 1)

So the question is - What do I want? How will I know when I have it?

Tuesday 18 January 2011

My prayers are being answered

I woke up not quiet sure what today would hold.  I said to Sean my flat mate that my intention was to go to the bookstore I spotted and get a good book to keep me out of trouble.  I started thinking about  my day as I have an interview at 5.30pm - the business cards as I only have 3 left, what to print and how to get there etc.

As I was on my way out the door, my phone rang and it was Stephanie a girl form SA who I met as a day worker with me during my time on MY A.  She invited me to join her at Top Carrot  a fresh natural healthy food place just down the road.  We treat ourselves to a fresh carrot and ginger juice followed by a sandwich with smoked turkey, avocado, tomato and feta cheese......yummy!  We exchanged notes and Stephanie said have you a sample of your business card, whipped her computer out and the "graphic designer" is her got to work........wow 1 hour later I had a business card I can take down to mail box and have printed! 

Looking around me Top Carrot is EXACTLY the type of place I want to open one day, and it has a full book section so guess what I was up to while my business cards were being designed.  I replaced my angel cards which I am so excited about.

Trust........

I have been searching for a long time to find a book that would "comfort me"......A because ever since my ex husband and I split up in April 2007 after a relationship of turmoil up and downs of 12 years it has affect my ability to TRUST .......this has changed over the last well almost 4 years now.

Firstly my "gut" normally tells me rather quickly if I can trust someone and I have met a few people I totally trust which has given me faith that there are people like this is the world and it has also made me realize you can trust and have friendships and not get "attached" there "stuff, issues, what ever you want to call it" and we all have this "stuff" some like to call it baggage.......

Well I read a few pages off Amazon of Stephen R. Covey called SPEED UP TRUST ...........once I have done with it I will give you my thoughts and perhaps if there are anyone out there has read it we can have a little debate!
