Well it happens to be full moon the night before 11th November 2011.  One year ago I was worked of MY A hard to believe.  So where has my journey taken me over the past year.  Came back and lived with my brother who had his own flat at the time.  I was fortunate to take over the spare room.  I had his car to use and he had taken over the care of my Mom's car.  I started my journey with Inspired Entrepreneur and formed Explore Your Journey with Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway workshops.  By July the flat was up for sale and I was moving back to Milton Keynes.  I temped at NHBC for a while, claimed JSA and finally landed my dream job with a training company as a business development manager in October.  I had the opportunity of doing some studies "Prepare to Run Your Own Business" and ITQ which has been such a blessing and amazing how it has just all fallen into place all around the right times and dates. I feel so blessed.

Hi

I hope you don't take offense in my sudden approach. I took a trip this week to Madrid, Spain and was attacked and robbed. My belongings including my cash, credit card and cell phones were all stolen. I've made contact with my bank but the best they can do is to mail me a new card which will take 4 working days to arrive here, am currently concluding my documentation at the embassy so i can fly out. I need you to lend me some funds to settle some bills.

Please let me know if you can assist me in anyway so i can forward you details to effect a transfer.You can reach me via email or the hotel's desk phone.

Waiting for your mail.

Many Thanks.

Karen Wyness.

Life's lessons

Don't try and blog from iTouch past midnight .............and THEN hit the publish button instead of SAVE!  Thanks for the friends I have.

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?
