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?
