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!

Letting go......
There must be a reason but as they say you land up just where you are meant to I am trying to see what lessons I am meant to learn from this? Well I seem to have to move home every week and that in itself has been an adventure and stressful it's own way.
Went to a Birthday party last night and it was interesting, met many people and ate great Caribbean ribs..........
Had a great nights sleep and was up early this morning and headed to the beach and was lucky to judge the clouds as I almost got caught in a major down pour but again I happened to be walking past a under ground car park when the heavens opened so I was protected. i did a spot of shopping on the way home and was interesting pushing a little trolley all the way with the conditions of the road and sidewalk full of pot holes etc
I am sitting at "piece of cake" having a piece of cake and coffee using the wifi to pass the time then off to watch a movie "little fockers" good humor.

Well I have been asking for work and after finding a anchor chain to wear around my neck which I have been searching for ages I met a lady who runs the shop and used to be a stewardess and directed me to the shop next door to meet Sue from SA and she introduced my to Marilyn who has just opened a little bar / restaurant and she just called me to ask if I was interested in doing some bar / waitress work so off I go at 10am in the morning..........
Becareful what you ask for as you might just get it
After making contact with all the recruitment agencies by email at the bar down the road for internet and 2 coffee’s later $5 ......for technically I am paying $2.50/hour to use the service and keep me awake and hydrated.
My intention was to find a massage place or 2 and promote myself, for some strange reason I took a different route and the 1st corner I turn what do I come across yes you guessed it a massage shop, Pier was very friendly I kind of understood half of what he was going on about in French but I did understand he does not enjoy massaging large Americans, do you blame him? Well he offers all the treatments I do not do.......lomi lomi, reflexology and Ayurvedic massage so I compliment him with Swedish, pregnancy and Ayurvedic Indian head he is happy to hear I am local and can be there within 30 minutes so I hope to hear from Pier. We discussed rates so he charges $85 if they pay by card I get $40 and if they pay cash I get 50% so that is fair.
I then took a walk along the beach front and market to the shopping center all very expensive and up market but there was a another shop so I did the same and again at a beauty place so let’s see what comes of that.
I also came across the post office and library and inquired about taking French classes to learn how to read and write but they do nothing like that here.

Believing
Wow well I have asking and praying for this. How it came about it was fascinates me. I got a call to do some day work and one of the girls I worked with took my number and handed my number to another yacht who called me for massage yesterday so I went to my first massage at 8.00pm. Was on the beach all day yesterday on the French side came home and the keys were demagnetized so I had to rush to reception get that sorted change and dash out I took the whole of 10 minutes and got there just before 8.
I had to do it on a double crew bed but there were no complaints where I had done I said due to it being a Saturday night and after hours I will charge $75 she gave me $100.......and has re booked me for Monday night and another crew member!
Intention, desire, and believing and staying focused on what you want is the key it takes time but the more time you spend focusing
The first yacht I massaged on Four Aces.
